over the last couple years I’ve been slowly putting together a couple of .308 ar’s. Started with 80% lowers from Hellfire armory and one matches upper. They’re dpms pattern. I got the upper due to the heftiness of their billet design and lack of forward assist as I wanted to try making a side...

i have a Spanish Mauser that was given to me for a smithing project... I have read up on the controversy regarding this guns strength with 308 loads and while I think that this gun can handle 308 ( has been successfully shoot 308 for decades) I did get it for a smithing project so will...

who makes stuff for their gun? ... maybe because you like to, maybe nobody makes exactly what you need, or maybe (like me,) you don’t have deep enough pockets to buy all the cool, name brand toys. Long gun, handgun, the whole gun or a small part. Show us a pic with a brief description of what...
