    This is my .308 "lightweight" battle rifle build. Nothing revolutionary, just good solid parts

    Aero .308 matched upper and lower
    Aero LPK
    Radian short throw safety selector
    LaRue MBT
    JP polished buffer spring
    DPMS .308 carbine buffer
    TOTALLY NECESSARY SHUT UP PWS Enhanced Buffer Tube
    Magpul MOE grip? (Honestly I forget)
    Magpul MOE buttstock? (Seriously, the name eludes me)
    Radian .308 Charging Handle
    Faxon .308 BCG
    Faxon lightweight 16" .308 mid length barrel
    Superlative Arms .750" adjustable gas block
    Random nitrided gas tube to maintain the blacked out look
    Odinworks 12" MLOK rail + goofy unintuitive barrel nut
    Precision Armament accuwasher
    Precision Armament M4-72 compensator, slightly mangled by an amateur clownshow of a gunsmith (me)
    Magpul MBUS Long Range iron sights
    MYSTERY FIXED MAGNIFICATION PRISMATIC OPTIC (I'm undecided on which to buy. The gun is so lightweight and handles so well that it almost seems a crime to drop a big ol chunky optic on it)

    I don't know what this build cost but it was a lot. I have been collecting the parts for a few years though, so I managed to get most of the stuff on decent sales. Pretty sure I started the build in 2013 or 2014. The extra .308 tools were a big part of that. Regardless it is one build I feel I got exactly right, even with my worst ever muzzle device install. It's a sweet shooting gun that took maybe 3 rounds to get gassed correctly (incidentally I love the SA gas block so far) and the irons were basically zeroed to the firearm as installed. I certainly can't shoot this rifle all day like I can 5.56, but it's really one that is an absolute joy to shoot. I only finished putting it together maybe a month ago, but I already can't imagine not bringing it to the range.

    Also, I tried to follow MDS tradition and include my foot in the pic.

    It occurs to me that I never posted my completed CMMG Mk8 build.
