Is the CMMG .308 custom that CDNN is selling for $1399.99 any good .Is the Wasp coating the same as nitride oxide ? Looks like a lot of rifle for the money .

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
I called CMMG the other day and left a vm for a call back. I wanted more info on the rifle as well. I talked to CDNN and guy said the finish is Cerakote, which is great. I wanted to get the weight of the rifle...I know it's going to be heavy since it has a PRS stock.

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
It has no Foward assist ,but when was the last time you needed a FA any way ? Still an AR looks odd without one .

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
Quite a few of the 308 AR's have no forward assist as most of the bolts don't have the scallop grooves for the FA. From what I hear, nobody seems to be miss it.

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
First off CDNN is top notch my buddy bought one from them last week after I found the deal on slickguns.com. We live in Louisiana and they had it at his FFL in one day.
You can get the gun in 3 colors comes with 2 pmags For 1400 and his was 17.50 for s&h. I built a MATEN I love it its a very nice setup but for the money I would have saved I wish this would have been around.
Here is a link to some good info

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
I a'm in on the Bushnell HDMR group buy here at the Hide and I think I will mount it on this rifle or my Armalite T10 .As the Scope is a 34mm main tube and will need 34 mm rings/mount ,what rings/mount would work best and be as low as possible ? I always like it as close to the bore axis as possible. I will probably never need to take it off so a QD mount is not realy needed. I was thinking a set of Seekins rings would work and be cost effective.Of corse being a group buy ,and me getting in at the end it may not happen for me so I will wait till I have the scope in my hands .I'm new here so I a'm not sure if group buys here are a sure thing .In the event I don't get in on it ,I'll probably end up with a 30mm mount as most other scopes are 30mm or 1 inch.

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
This is still a question I have LOL. The group buys I have been on here or top notch.
From what I've found out in the QD the BOBRO is the best for the money and Amercan Defense and Larue also being excellent choices the aadland mount is heavy duty and has 20moa built in but it sits high. I just tried to find a ggod one peice QD mount.

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
I have 2 Larue QD mounts on M4's,they are top notch .I was thinking I don't need the QD as the scope will stay mounted to this rifle .

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM

I am thinking about getting a AR .308 for long range. So I am going there to ask question any way,like accurcy guarantee and price.

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
Does anyone know particulars of the new CMMG 308 including:
Is the reciever threaded for DPMS/KAC or Armalite pattern forends?
Is the reciever rail height the old "taller" KAC/Armalite standard or the new DPMS "lower height"?
I emailed CMMG, but they didn't give me a complete answer.

They had only one .308 in the store.It had no forward assist,Magpual adjustable stock and pistol grip,free floating 18" 1:10 twist fluted barrel w/flash supressor.It took DPMS magazine.A front hand guard that had 4 rails. For a price of $1550.00.

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
Got it and mounted a temp scope and mount ,going to the range tomorrow afternoon. As far as the rifle looks it is dark earth and the upper ,lower,and FFT match perfectly and the finish and fit is top notch. The Magpull prs is a slightly differant color pantone then the rifle,being slightly darker.If that matters to you and that kind of thing bothers you ,try black. It is very slight but you can see it .I don't mind it at all .Gas key staked right ,bolt and extractor look right,action works nice and smooth, trigger is about 4 to 5# and crisp and grit free. Bolt hold open on empty mag working right,safty .bolt release and mag release work right and mag drops free when you hit the release. So far So good .Ceaned and lubed ,ready for the range.

Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM
Just got back from the range ( Phoenix Rod and Gun club),the rifle was sheer perfection .Used 5 differant kinds of surplus ammo about 200 rounds some dateing back to 1972 ,Dag,Port,Santa Barbra,Hirt,Aussi.Functioned fine no problems at all ,held 2.5 moa. Switched to Fedral Gold Medal Match 168 smk and it gets .75 at 100 . this was with a cheap 3-10x50 Smith and Wesson scope and an old Colt B Square mount I have had for 20 years . Only wish the trigger was lighter. Looks like a winner .With a better scope and a mount that is lower and a better trigger it will be fantastic .

Is there any chance you could weigh it before you put anything on it?
Also, could you post a pic to show the OD color?
Thanks
