Personal opinion not based in factStay away from carbon fiber wrapped barrels. Any rough treatment and a crack could render it worthless. Go for the adjustable gas block to address load variances and when suppressed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
TRN, I don't think he can legally suppress in Illinois.
FIFY Bobby. :)

stock will either be Magpul DMR fixed.
Here's the pressure regulating bolt group I came across- a bit pricey!http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/bolt-parts/bolts/308-ar-enhanced-high-pressure-bolt-completion-group-prod77853.aspxThat doesn't include carrier!Thoughts? Is it potentially worth the $ or is it a whole lot for a little in the long run?
They make it sound so technical. What's extractor smear...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Quick overview my only concern is that handguard is the correct height to match the upper when installed as there are several different heights out there. If you did not I would call or better yet email tech & have them confirm it fits your upper properly. Midway can get touchy on returns, I know personally being banned from their buying list.....

LOL - one of the reasons I've taken as long assembling parts as I have is due to my greenness and the vast degree of variations in this platform! Another reason I went with the Troy hand guard was the illustration provided on-line to check compatibility of the receiver.Thanks for the "caution" as I just went to the safe to triple check - I'm GTG! ;D
The Brown parts fairy stopped by today-Got to playing with the receiver, barrel nut and hand guard so now I've got a question for youn'z in the know: the barrel nuts four tabs at 12,3,6 & 9 don't slide into the grooves in the handguard. They line up and start, but I'm not thinking slamming it on with a hammer is an appropriate method of installation! Seems like the FDE coating could be scraped out, or I could file on each side of the tabs some OR a combination of both.My next question is: once on with the barrel and barrel nut torqued appropriately, is that hand guard supposed to rotate freely with those tabs lining up inside one of the grooves that run around 360 degrees inside the hand-guard?Answers, insights, volunteers to put the upper together so I don't muff it up etc? :o
Update on Troy Industries Hand Guard:So last evening after the Brown Fairy dropped off some parts, including the above, I tried to fit the Barrel Nut into the Hand Guard and wasn't successful as things seemed overly tight. Come to find out that there's supposed to be a proprietary Barrel Nut with the Hand Guard that Midway said wasn't included when I ordered and that any Mil-spec Barrel Nut would work.Contacted Troy Industries last evening and got a response right away this am. They asked for proof of purchase and invoice, both of which I provided via screen shot off my phone and emailed to them. Resolutions: They are NEXT DAY shipping it to my door! Start of contact until shipping notice was 2.5 hours- OUTSTANDING!Troy Industries = Great Customer Service!

Did you check Troy's website before you ordered off Midway? I've noticed some discrepancies between sites a few times.
Anyone have suggestions on a reputable shop/gunsmith to have assemble my upper, check head spacing etc. on this puppy? With an accurate barrel, need for secure attachment of the muzzle "device" to satisfy legality issues and not wanting to purchase bench block, and assorted tools, I have found out that Ken's supplier of the buffer will assemble upper with "your parts" for $50. I am looking for a recommendation from anyone with personal experience and a recommendation/testimonial to see what's out there.

He has a great reputation and know several people who have had great success with him. edit: just recalled I believe magpul recommends him as well if you have feeding issues......
Anyone know about or have experience with this company/scope and or targeting system?http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XPA414XFFP308&name=Primary+Arms+4-14X44+FFP+Scope+w%2f+ACSS®+HUD+DMR+.308%2f.223&groupid=6341 Intriguing concept for the reticle. I've also been looking at something like this:http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XVOPST416F1A&name=Vortex+PST+4-16x50+FFP+Riflescope+EBR-1+(MOA)+Reticle%2f+30mm+Tube&groupid=7903They make a couple different BDC models that run about half the price of this one ^^^

Basic enough for a grunt like Bobby to do in the field !
A steady hand, and a small punch or large paper clip, IIRC. Basic enough for a grunt like Bobby to do in the field !I'm a little surprised you didn't go for a drop in trigger, considering how far you've went so far...I mean, heck, what's a couple hundred more bucks. :)
