    I did build a AR10 308 this year but had a really good deal on parts. Now I'm concentrating on upgrading. I just put a new recoil spring, and titanium extractor and spring on my 10/22 it was 27 years old to many rounds to count on it. I figured it was time lol.

    I did all the upgrades last summer to make all my AR's operate close to the same. Triggers/optics/etc and so on. Damned spendy endeavor but well wort the effort/money. Pick up any one of them and it is just like the last one. No thought involved just pic and go.

    The rifles I built up this year follow that same premise. The colors are different as are the basic lengths and appearance but they are geared the same.

    The last 2 have been a crap shoot on parts. My go to BCG's and such are out of stock so the higher end pieces have been used and that up's the initial cost of building the rifle. I have to really search for what I want now because there are either limits or no stock.

    What brand BCG's do you use? I bought a Fail Zero for my AR10 308 build. I haven't got enough rds through it yet to determine its reliability yet. It's very smooth and seems to cycle well thus far.

    Over the past couple of months I've placed a few parts orders, all from Midwest Gun Works with great prices and super fast shipping.
    2 current discount codes in case anyone is interested:
    BOMBSHELL
    SPRING20

    At times like these, availablity can change quickly. Out of stock today, but back in stock in a few days.

    I'm swapping out a stock and I found two vendors that say they had them in stock only to have them cancel my order a week later. I'm now on my third. Let's see if this one shows up.

    Thank you.

    I used SPRING20 a month ago and got free shipping.
    I used BOMBSHELL last week for free shipping.
    I know back in May I used FATHER19 for 10% off entire order and if you buy any Timney triggers then use TIMNEY1.
    If you have any ammo in your cart at checkout then none of these will work.

    I have a couple nickel boron AR-15 BCG’s from Palmetto St, which have worked well so far. Good price and very easy to clean, once they finally showed up. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about if you’ve ever bought from Palmetto St.

    Ok, was trying them with some Sig parts, but a no go it appeared. I didn't know how much of a minimum purchase there may be, but I had about $100 or so in the cart. I'll give them another try today.

    Thanks for the info.
