    Moved to Colorado from Cali time to enjoy the AR15

    Yes Brother!!!! I moved from COMMIEFORNIA to TX recently and I literally removed my bullet button after I crossed the state line into TX. Then promptly assembled my spare parts kits...and never looked back! Congrats on the move, shooting will only get better, and more fun.

    New to TX Looking for Precision Rifle Clubs/Matches

I have some experience in F-class matches and I'm looking to learn new skills in the practical shooting area. I built a frankengun large frame AR chambered in 7.62 and and I...

    A local machine shop in San Diego called TPM Machine/Arms is working out the kinks in their process and getting 80% 308 lowers on the drawing board but no production yet. They say a few months.

    Carbine search: LMT Defender and/or comparable models?

    LMT is top notch for sure. If you're not 100% set on going for a carbine length gas system, go for a midlength. This midlength BCM comes with a stronger, more heat resistant hand guard than the LMT defender and is built to the same or better quality standards. BCM Mid-16 AR15 Bravo Company...

    Large Frame AR barrel length

    Perfectly understandable. I shoot F/TR and some of that is bleeding into my thought process here - when it really shouldn't I think now. Mainly because I cringe when the poor .308 can't get to speed out of those short barrels and I see the 16s and 18s hit the berms and keyhole at Camp Pendleton...

    Large Frame AR barrel length

    I haven't seen many large frame AR builds with barrels over 22 inches (GAP-10). If weight and portability aren't a concern for the shooter, would it be possible to run a 24-30 inch barrel, in a reasonable contour of course, on a large frame AR chambered in 308? Is there a design limitation to...
