I think you will like the MAWL... The vis laser is pretty weak but for a eye safe IR laser, the IR laser and illuminator work quite well with NV.

I forgot to mention one of my favorite 300 BLK loads is 3.8-4.0 gr of Red Dot under a 110 gr bullet. Generates around 1000 fps, very accurate, and Hollywood quiet similar to a subsonic suppressed 22. You and your grandsons will love it. It absolutely does not cycle the action of an AR though.

Red Dot or Tin Star are the closest. Both are extremely fast burning, fluffy powders. They do not take up as much case volume though.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the results using some better bullets. You also try some other heavier bullets (IE Hornady 75 BTHP) along with the Hornady 55's, since TAC is suitable for those as well. Both the SP and FMJ-BT shoot pretty well for cheap bullets. Trying to get bad...

Another very important factor is ammo/bullet choice. What is your velocity and ES/SD for the ammo you are shooting? Excessive ES/SD will introduce considerable vertical dispersion which is not apparent at shorter ranges. It may also be that your rifle shoots better with either 155 gr or 175-178...

I have shot a bunch of Accurate 4064, H4895, and IMR 4064 in mine under 155-168 gr bullets. All seemed to work similarly well. I have also tried some 8208 XBR- but advance cautiously near max load as I have found this powder to be "peaky." I would personally try this one first. Even though...

So good news - it turns out both a Seekins SRS bipod rail with 2" spacing, as well as the Area 419 improved bipod rail, can both accommodate the appropriate spacing and easily bolt to the bottom of the rail. Problem solved. The rail even has steel inserts for the screws so it will be quite...

I had already seen that thread, and unfortunately those rail sections are all long gone.

This may be a bit of a tough one. Several years ago I had purchased a few Remington Defense handguards from Brownells. They have a non index style barrel but that is steel, and tightened with a pin spanner wrench. Anyways I was going to planning to run a picatinny mount bipod on it, but I...

I actually tried this experiment a few years back. The 200-220 gr class bullets work great in the 300 BLK (as subsonic) and 300 magnum cartridges. They just do not work well in 308 semi autos. I found any load that attempted to achieve a ballistically usable velocity in a 16-18" 308 AR was very...

I forgot to mention that these were the adjustable diopter models as well

Steele Industries is another source... Mine were an SNR of 35/33.5, for a touch under $10k. I saw one of the pairs Ryan had at Apollo were a little better spec (SNR 34-35) but the difference was splitting hairs for me

Seems a bit like false economy to get a "budget" 308 AR and then put a $300 adjustable carrier and a $150 hydraulic buffer in an effort to get it to run properly.

Interestingly enough I did a bunch of research and had ended up ordering AMP arms and Axl RAC links independently... Appreciate the input and looking forward to setting it all up
