    I'm in the middle of an AR 10 build and its so frustrating. Unlike the the AR15 the 10 has no standard set of specs. I've been since the end of Oct. ordering parts and I'm still waiting on my handguard and some small pieces. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas morn.

    I have the strike eagle and it's been good for me. I like the primary arms also. Vortex also just announced a new strike eagle in 1-8.

    Yea I heard that too from a competent source. They are garbage from what I hear. I am just going to build a pistol, do the form 1 and then put a stock on it. Now I just need to sell the 300wm and the 500 flex :D

    I read a shit ton of reviews when I was doing my homework for my form1's. Radical does not get a lot of stellar reviews, mainly fit and finish complaints and some operational returns. My free $0.02 is to spend the money on a nicer lower or pistol if you are going to SBR it. The last thing you need is unhappiness once it's engraved and in the NFA database.

    Agree 100 percent on that. Decided to build the SBR from the ground up. I have a complete upper I want that had very good parts in it and I'm going to get a sons of liberty gun works stripped lower. I just need a good lpk without trigger and grip

    It's in .300 Blackout. I'm really loving this caliber so far. Perfect for SBRs.

    That's exactly what caliber I am going to build mine in:D Now I need to decide on a lpk. I am torn between spikes tactical enhanced kit or solgw kit with their liberty competition trigger. Then from their it's just getting a pistol buffer tube, upper, and wait for the tax stamp.

    Anyone wanting to buy a shotgun or Remington 700 :anonymous:

    That one started out as a 5.56 Spikes pistol, has an MVB stock and some other bolt on crap. Freakin' loud and fun as hell.

    100% badass. My other AR SBR is a 300BLK with a SDN-6 can, stupid quiet. That is a mutt, built it out of a Spikes Jolly Roger lower and all kinds of different parts.

    What is the 700 chambered in? Been looking for a new hunting rifle for deer season.

    It's a 300 win mag but it needs a new handle brazed on. Any gun smith competent enough can do it. I posted it in the Texas classified thread if you wanna see pictures

    Nice! Just took a look at the pictures. Looking at that Mossberg makes me want a new shotgun too.
