LR-308 build: What have I missed?

big tubz · February 7, 2017, 10:03 AM

So for starters I should say that I have no experience doing gun builds. I do a lot of shooting: mostly pistol and skeet. I got a colt 6920 2 years ago and after putting a couple thousand rounds through it I have decided i want to try and reach out a little further. So now I am embarking on a 308 build and confusing myself every step of the way. I think I have a finished design with all of the major components accounted for. I'd like you guys to help me out and let me know if there is anything that i missed, mainly things like connector pieces/pins/minor components that i would never think to order. Also let me know what you think about the build as a whole, what parts you think i can save some money on, if certain components aren't compatible (i've done a lot of research and they all should work together). And i know this is a fairly high end rifle for someone with as little experience as myself, but i know if i go cheap i will just end up upgrading them in a couple years when my skills outgrow the gun so i figured i should just start nice. Thanks in advance for all your advice!!

All that stuff will work together. Just ensure that your bbl extension is DPMS and your handguard is DPMS High Profile. Good luck!
