Updated 308 – Ar-10 Project Complete

[vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]My 308 is one of my favorite rifles. It is accurate and easy to shoot but I built a 24" bull barrel 556. At medium to shorter ranges the 556 was more accurate, so I decided to give my 308 and overhaul and the 24" barrel treatment.

I found a very reasonable deal on a 17" slim handguard from Delta Team Tactical.

I found the 24" fluted, match grade barrel and the build was on.

I decided to go with Magpul FDE Duracoat for the color. FDE and OD Green are my preferred colors for several of my firearms.

I added and new buttstock in matching FDE.

The optic is a Nikon P Series which is a great entry level priced optic. The reason I like them is the price and how much light they allow through. It is super easy to use especially if you are a beginner. This optic on my 308 and another on my 556 are what I use to teach people to shoot a longer range rifles.

Overall I am pleased with the visual look of the rifle and tomorrow I will find out if it shoots as good as it looks.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="17457" img_size="full" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="17455" img_size="full" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="17456" img_size="full" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][/vc_row]
