  Hey El Guapo......,   Trying to figure out my basic load.   Are those figures per stage the numbers of Targets or the Round Count total for the stage?   Mark

Got all of the PSA parts in - - - Got it all put together yesterday - - - Got it to the range today. Call this the Proof-of-Principle configuration. The PWS break/hinder came off an FN SCAR 17. I added a MAGPUL fixed carbine stock and an extra Larue APEG grip that I had. Also installed some MI panels that I had left over from another build. The Millett 1-4 scope in an ADC scout mount is borrowed off one of my other 3Gun ARs. The rear BUIS came out of my spare parts bin, I mounted it to see if it would clear the scope. I pulled the stock off of my Light Weight AR to see if it would fit. The PSA 308 carbine tube is about an inch longer that the standard carbine length and the MAGPUL did fit. I may still go with a rifle tube and A1 stock to balance out the firearm. (Did a test fit of an A1 stock and realized that the shape of the MOE butt plate is so much better) It seems just a hair nose heavy to me right now. Noted today that PSA now has a slim profile barrel for this upper. Fired about 50 - 70 rounds of M80 7.62 ball ammo. No issues with function. Recoil was on par with my soft shooting FAL, far less than my M14, and much better than my G3 (my least favorite 7.62 battle rifle). Groups were in the 1 to 1.5 inch range and that was using the Millett's Donut-Dot Reticle. No problem hitting the 10 inch plate at 200 yards. 173rdABN also fired the gun and pronounce fit for Heavy Metal 3Gun duty so long as I replace the "SH*TY" stock trigger. I Really Like This Firearm! Funny...., wasn't even thinking about an AR in .308 less than two weeks ago.

  Yup!

I like the opening story told during the episode on the BAR.   It was an account of a Korean War Vet and how cold and isolated he felt at night in his foxhole.   And then in the distance he would hear the firing of a BAR.....   And he Knew He Was Not Alone!

Upper arrived today.   :woohoo:     Its a nice looking hunk of metal.    I'll be picking up the lower tomorrow at my transfer FFL.   I Know...., I Know - - - Pictures when I get it all put together!

  :bow:

WOW - - - Nice...., Very Nice!   Looks like you are ready for some Long Range 1000 yard F Class fun.   That is so long as your shoulder can take firing 60-80 rounds of .300 Winchester Magnum in the prone position!   :eek:  

DSA is selling MAGPUL 2G in Foliage Green for $8.08 each.    https://dsgarms.com/mag571-fol   Or go with a ten-pack of 2Gs in Black for $79.95.   https://dsgarms.com/dsg-arms-magazine-pack-10-magpul-non-window-mags-w-dsg-patch   I highly recommend that everybody stock up now before the November Mid-Term elections.  No matter how that voting turns out...., the mask will be removed and I predict that Barry Hussein will go full leftist radical - - - he will come after all of us!   So buy it Cheap & Stack it Deep!

  Or being recalled to active duty!  :rofl:

When I retire from the Army, I was asked what were the biggest changes that I had seen over the 30+ years.   -  We got around better at night (NVGs). -  We didn't get lost as often (GPS). -  And the women now had more tattoos than an Airborne Command Sergeant Major.

   $499!    :dropjaw:   I knew I went to bed too early last night......

  Well I just couldn't organize enough personal resistance.....  :hyper:   Place my order last night for the upper, a  stripped lower, and a build kit.    Reckon I better start stocking up on M80 ball ammo.      Thanks to mcordell for the heads up!  :up:   AND to 173rdABN - - -  "Shooter Ready...., Standby......"

AHHHHHHH......,  SH***********TTTTTTTT!    :panic:      Just when I was thinking of getting out of the 3Gun Heavy Metal division because I didn't want to run an optic on my FAL or M14.  This thing comes along.   Well - - -  wonder how much Fun Money I have remaining for this month!   :whistle:  

Going to be hard to top the "shockers" from last season.   BUT......,   I think there is one final showdown coming for somebody who needs "killin!"

Don't pass up the chance to visit the National Firearms Museum.  Its located just west of DC off of I-66 at the NRA HQ in Fairfax, Virginia.   http://www.nramuseum.org/

  Might need to check some of the Air-Soft forums for that guy...., he told me that Allied Forces was his "unit."

John,   Is this one of the notorious CAI builds where they put the 5.56 barrels into their AK-74s?

I REALLY liked the 1/2 size targets!  :up:

  I much rather think of it as being Seasoned & Experienced. :pleased:

Well Hello Dan!   Good to see you on TGO!  :up:

The way that Hayden chopped up some perfectly good firearms on that dumb show......., I knew something just wasn't right about that guy!

Its looking like the Middle Tennessee Task Force will be making a strong push toward Bowling Green this Saturday.   :dirty:   Better reserve one squad just for us - - - since everybody wants to load down my Gun Buggy with their stuff!    :eek:

  Yup, Ben Schade.  Good guy and a real-deal metal cutting and wood checkering gunsmith.  :up:     Lebanon Gun Shop, 615-547-9600   He has done several jobs for me.  As Westwindmike stated, his rates are very reasonable.
