My AR308 "featureless" build, how did I do?
I had planned to do an AR10/308 build next year or buy a complete 308 semi-auto rifle (SCAR, PTR 91, etc), but considering the passage of some laws you may have heard of during the Summer, I decided to go all in and just do a ground up build.
So I did an Alex Pro Firearms (APF Armory) build. Which is fortunate because I just realized they said they are no longer shipping to California as of last week. My build list: - APF Stripped Lower: $220 - DPMS LPK: $60 (Black Friday Special) - Geissele G2S trigger: $115 (Black Friday Special) - Magpul MOE Fixed Stock: $22 (Black Friday Special) - Stoner Buffer Assembly: $50 - Alex Pro-Fab Complete Upper w/ 20 inch barrel: $500 - Vortex Strike Eagle + Burris PEPR combo: $285 (Black Friday Special) - PWS FSC Muzzle Brake (BATF Classified as non-flash supressing device): $95 - Kydex A2 Wrap: $30 Total build cost: $1377 How did I do?

Looks good. I did one similar but it was a 556 with MIAD+Backfin. I put a Thordson + AR10 spacer on a 16" Gen1 PA-10, but it is a basic build with the good old Delta ring - one of those special $360 complete uppers they offered a few years back.
I have a gen2 PA-10 complete lower coming in today that will be done like yours with the fixed carbine stock and MIAD+Exile Backfin, Lantac Brake and Lantac CMC trigger. Wating for that $999 18" complete upper with 15" tube to go on special... they just raised the price up a couple hundred and the stock is low. Might be a while. |

The 762 Dragon is $90 at PSA, last time I ordered one. I figure it is double what I paid for a KAW linear brake, but it actually does something, hahah. I mean besides making things quieter for the shooter and the line.

I would rather do featureless than register. But I agree, I wish I didn't have to have a kydex fin.

If the lower had some wear on it, a little chip here and there, it would give off more of a "metal" look.

The King Comp is a flash hider under CA law as it shares design features with a flash supressor and it advertises to offer flash supression. Sorry.

Are you sure? On the little box, it literally says "compensator and a muzzle brake".

We have to do what we think is right. If I were to build an AR I'd go this route rather then to register it. That's just my opinion

Lantac Dragon:
"Ultra Fast Attenuation (UFA) of muzzle blast gasses helps to reduce side blast and muzzle flash, preventing this Dragon from being a fire breather!" This is from primary arms, but says nothing about it on Lantac's website. |

Lantac's website and the product packaging used to say, "Ultra Fast Attenuation of muzzle blast gasses means that Flash Signature is also reduced."

I really like the look of that lower. It reminds me of the tactical machine ones. I would have guessed they made it had I not noticed the bolt catch holder. That looks like an even nicer feature!!! How does it work? Is it just holding the pin in place??

Maybe that was on a gen 1? They are on gen 3's now.

I bought one at retail within the last year that (I believe) has that exact wording on the packaging.

Lantac has removed the flash attenuation verbiage from their website but you can find that language on most on-line retail pages for the comp.
Sucks as I have Dragon's on both of my rifles that are going featureless. I'm replacing the Dragon's with Surefire Pro-Comps. |

A properly positioned and installed fin should be perfectly in compliance with the wording of the regulation. OTOH, some people worry about lack of permanence and/or other between-the-lines concerns, which IMHO are valid concerns in the current climate. At the same time, that hasn't stopped me from grip-finning at least one of my rifles (one that doesn't have other alternatives available).

Heh. I built a featureless AR around a U-15. I'm old-school like that.
