    Lefties, oy! :D

    All my life i've been cursed/blessed by lefties:

    Learned to tie flies by a leftie
    Learned to rock climb(think tying lots of different knots) by a leftie
    Learned to shoot a bow by a leftie
    I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten...

    It's enough to drive a dyslexic crazy! :lol2:

    OP, if it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'd move that scope up a notch or two unless you are a tall guy and need the added length of pull you are showing in your pic.

    Negative, it would need to be longer to work with .308. Haven't seen or heard of these things catching on. Like most things, once they are a hit on the 15 platform, they work their way onto a 10. Good luck with solving your issue.

    If you need to "mortar" the weapon, that won't allow you to retain your grip on the charging handle, to complete the procedure.

    Oh man, have I had to deal with mortaring a lot recently. OP, if you handload for .308, get small base dies. I have been having a nightmare of a time trying to troubleshoot the issue but it comes down to needing a small-base sizing die.

    That is nifty and all... but can you drive it forward in a tactical situation?

    Certainly looks like it would pose many potential issues in some tactical scenarios, I wouldn't buy one. All optics I have ever install on a 15 have been flush with the end of the pic rail. That said, the OP does not exactly have a CQB tactical build here. If something like this would fit an AR-10, it would solve his problem as a range / target shooter, which I assume would most likely be the primary use for his gun.

    Federal law says the barrel must be at least 16" and MD law says that the barrel must be 16" or longer, in addition to being an HBAR.

    A grip on the handguard is legal for a rifle.

    I am not going to bother trying to explain the intricacies of NFA to a n00b. Don't want your head to explode and you get confused. Rather keep is simple by saying 16" barrel or longer for you to legally build a rifle.

    Before I realized I needed small-base dies for my .308, I was mortaring it constantly at DSC.

    Then again, Michael knows me pretty well and wasn't too concerned. ;)
