Finally got to the range with another of my .308 ARs (7.62 NATO not BO). 18" fluted built on a Aero Precision M5 receiver set. Gun functioned fine but I didn't have a spotter with me and I'll need to go back and sight it in another day.

I think I'm going to do a little assembly this weekend, maybe.

There is a definite need for more pictures !

I agree, I need to take some more and better pics.
Took the camera to the range with me last couple times and didn't get around to it in spite of it being a great opportunity,

Looks like a few parts are starting to be more available for a couple projects I've got in mind.

Sadly, the only .308 AR platform I ever handled was a Dutch made non-selective fire model, with the swirly brown furniture. Nice rifle, but we didn't fire it at the range due to its collectors value.

Talking to one of my college buds today and he was going through his storage zone looking for his build parts and he came up short of receiver extension/buffer tubes and handguards for the couple builds he's had on the back burner for the last couple years. He's pretty certain he's got another box o parts, so his plan is to make at least an attempt at finding it before he buys additional parts. Seems like he's planning a 300 Blackout build and a .224 Valkyrie build. Neither of those calibers are exactly something I'm a huge fan of but assuming he can get ammo for them I expect they'd be fun.

Planning on helping a friend put together a 6.5 Grendel but not sure exactly when he's going to be up to finish it.

Waiting on a set of scope rings to finish one build to a usable state. That is to say I haven't started the build yet other than gathering the parts and I need a set of rings (and maybe some back up sights.)

Waiting on a handguard for another build. MIGHT wind up needing a scope & mount for that one as well.
