I'm building a .308 AR for my TaeKwon-Do instructor, I built him a AR-15 a few years ago, but he wants something bigger for piggies. He already has an AP upper and lower, stripped. I have a few questions...
1) What is a good barrel/length/gas system setup for a hunting/blasting .308? I have a 16" M1a, it's fantastic... but I'm thinking something more like 18" for his build.
2) Does anyone have experience with Magpul mags in the AP lowers... do they work well? Is there a better alternative?
3) Coming off AR-15 builds... are .308 BCG's pretty much the same, besides the finish? Like I said... I'm new to the .308 stuff, and I know some parts are proprietary.
I'll take any and all hints and suggestions. I'm not sure if he is going to put optics only on it, or any of the finishing touches, but I need to research the main components so I have some suggestions for him.
Thanks!
