My First 308 AR - LR 308

[gunfighter48]

Here's my new LR 308 Oracle, at least that's how it started out. I replaced the stock collapsible carbine buttstock with a rifle length tube - spring - rifle buffer, and added the Magpul PRS stock. I took off the stock handguards and gas block and put on a low pro gas block and Apex free float handguards and also replace the grip with a Magpul MAID grip (fits my hand better). I also put a Gunfighter charging handle in it. I replaced the flash suppressor with a Battlecomp BABC muzzle brake/flash suppressor. Last but not least I bought a Vortex Viper HS 5 - 15X44 scope and mounted it in a Burris PEPR mount. I bought the rifle on Monday and finished it up Saturday night. If the weather stays nice I'll be able to get to the local 100 yard range on Wednesday and try it all out, can't wait to get some rounds down range!!! The quality on the rifle is extremely good, fit - finish - and workmanship are great. I did a lot of research before buying the DPMS and the user reviews for the 308s was excellent and they all seem to be very accurate for the money. A winning combination in my book. I've got about $2,100 in it and it's now the way I wanted it to be.

I'm glad it's only a range gun, it tips the scales at 12.5 lbs. I'd hate to pack it thru the woods hunting!!!!!!

gunfighter48,

Congrats on a beautiful boom stick. That's a whole lot of rifle for the money! I'd love to hear a range report and I'm interested to hear your take on the BABC (as I bought one for a rifle that I've since sold).

How 'bout some pics with the PRS installed? I'm wanting to do the same thing with mine and want to see what the finished product looks like.

Nice rifle!I bought an LR-308 about 3 1/2 years ago and I love it.Mine has a 24in.stainless bull barrel with a brake.I have had absolutely no problems with mine after 500 rds.It'll shoot damn near anything under an inch at 100yds,but I don't have anywhere to do any long distance accuracy tests.I do know it'll put 5 shots out of 5 on a standard steel pop-up at 500 yds.

I think you posted the wrong picture because your LR308 looks a lot like an M&P15.

You are absolutely correct, I put the wrong picture in the post. I now have the correct picture in the original post. Good catch, I sure missed it.
