"i love this rifle"
10-4, very comfortable, accurate, easy to handle.
i bought from a dealer in June, to not wait. i plan on cryo'ing my barrel at the end of the season. dealer claimed JP trigger, had flutes and grip.
i added the larger latch/charging handle (to grab under scope) and the larger/rocker bolt catch/release button, seen below. i added the PRS stock (found the 'stock-stock' left me a bit low vs. scrope height, and these are normal 1.125" rings, not extra-high. that 56mm objective still fits (the lr-308's flat top seems to be a bit higher than the 308 carbines))
modified 'tactical' handles. i did shoot it with the stock ones, and found them less than ideal for me, but personal pref. easy self-swap parts.
flat-top height, and one piece scope base (before i moves scope forward for eye releif settings)
anyways, i've shot several SKS and some other ARs and nothing was as tight/sturdy as this gun. the lower/upper come together great, the beefiness of the lower/upper is awesome, like from an ignot (or billet, since alum
)
i plan on getting an 'ap4' style upper so i can re-user my lower and stock, and the 24" upper/barrel assembly will keep that scope and the ap4 upper will get a shorter range based optics set.
i figure, save some $ but also know/use the stock/grip/trigger since it'll be the same on both 'platforms'.
have fun.
