BCM is great quality, ive had nothing but good experiences with them.

Im working on an AR-10 build right now.

Mega monolithic upper/lower, rainier arms 18" barrel, rainier match BCG, geissele trigger, etc etc. For glass im going to run a Vortex Razor 1-6x24

Heres the MEGA platform.

 

Good call as well! I had planned on Mega receivers, but no one had anything in stock. Have only heard good things about Aero Precision, so I feel good about my choice.

Are you going rifle length gas system on this one?

 

Heres a couple pics of the rem 700 I built.

Rem 700 sps tactical in.308
McMillan A5 in mcmillan camo
PTG stealth bottom metal (M5 footprint for AI mags)
Timney 517 set at 2#
True'd action/bolt
Vortex PST 4-16 FFP MRAD
Vortex 30mm anti-cant level
Nightforce 20moa base
Leupold MK4 rings (medium)
Badger mini bolt ****
Badger thruster brake, lathe turned to match profile
Triad Modular stock pack
Harris-S 6-9 with pod lock

 

Yes, it will be rifle length. Aero makes really nice stuff too, buddy just built an AR on that platform, really nice fit/finish.

 

Nice detour chat.
Classy look. I love the look of a bolt-action rifle. Very nice.

Not into guns, per say. But I do like to shoot, and I still have the Sig P220 I carried as a Deputy. But I'm thinking of adding a shotgun to round out the mix.

 

I've got a 140 Hobart and it has worked fine for me so far. Burning in my hooligan stiffeners with it currently. I bought it when I needed to do some sheet metal repairs on an old truck I had. I am a complete novice I have only ran 2 2lb spools through it so far. I have the dirt bound rear diy bumper to start on after I finish my stiffeners so we will see how it goes. Hopefully it doesn't fall off when I head to Utah in May

 

**** yeah, bud! LOL! .308 sniper is the next build. I need to get my "**** hits the fan" arsenal together.

 

Its a tack driver, one ragged hole @ 100 yards when I was sighting it in and shooting 5 shot groups.

Ive shot steel targets out to about 750-800 yards with some 168-175grn Sierra Match Kings. Such a fun rifle to shoot.

 

Good GAWD the gun ****!!!! You guys are mentally spending all my money!

lol... I'm pretty sure it will be fine man. It's not that it won't fuse metal together well, it's just that it doesn't have a very long duty cycle. Meaning you can only weld a short amount of time before letting the machine cool down. Just means you have to take more beer breaks

 

Youll be alright, 3/16" - 1/4 " is getting close to max thickness for a 110V machine but just take your time and make sure you burn it in nice and hot.

Are you running flux core or shielding gas? Flux core on a 110v machine is actually preferable when welding thicker material, you get a little bit better penetration.

 

TWSS

 

Shes never told you that.

Inadequate penetration is the name of the game.

 

Shielded now just switched because i finally got gas

 

Yeah, my first 80%...In the next couple of weeks I'll get it sighted in, and then it's on!
Build specs:

80% Arms lower, milled, bead blasted and coated with Duracoat matte black. Strike Industries Mil-Spec lower parts kit, buffer tube and 6 position Alpha enhanced stock. Jigsaw Pro upper, 16" barrel, 1:8 twist in 5.56, carbine, black nitride gas block and BCG, 15" quad rail, forward assist w/dust cover, 3 port muzzle break, M4 feedramp, flip up iron sights, red/green reflex sight, folding bipod, and Hexmag 10/30 clip.

Come on out, lots of wheeling/shooting to do, my place is open to fellow wheelers, LOL

DROOL

 

Just need my dang parts for the jeep to show up and we will set up a trip. Lots of BLM land around here with open shooting. Ill bring some steel targets.
