Here's my completed LR 308 build. Parts list:
Grand total - w/o ammo: $2037.48
I took it to the range today, a really nice one I found about 40 minutes north of here. I couldn't spend too much time adjusting the gas block, as that's considered a repair and they didn't want it happening on the line. I did adjust it a total of about three turns out, but it's still under-gassed. I'll have to keep going.
I put 40 rounds through it on the 100 yard range and by the time I was wrapping up the second magazine I was pulling approximately 1 MOA groups of three, I wasn't using a very scientific approach, I was just trying to get it close while I started breaking it in. So I was just picking specific spots on the target and popping three rounds at them. I feel like it's a really good start for accuracy.
Other than the under-gassing, I'm also getting really bad nicks in the extractor lip on my cases. They are pretty consistent, so I'm wondering if I might need to run an emery cloth over the extractor tooth to break in the edges. I wasn't sure so I thought I'd get your opinions.
Anyway, it turned a few heads on the range, especially amongst the AR-15 crowd. My sons, who were with me, really liked the big boom and the fireball that came with it. The shock of firing was impressive, it really let you know it wasn't just a .223. It was very visceral, you could feel it in the depths of your chest. I liked it. I think I'll go out next weekend, too.
