CMT 308 is Ready

[Pyzik]

First off, BIG thanks to Uwone for the help with the barrel!

Finally got this head spaced and torqued yesterday. Though, grabbing everything for the pic I realized I haven't picked up a mag yet... Doh!
I'll be grabbing a mag from my LGS and some ammo. Will be shooting it this weekend sans optic. That's the next buy. Just waiting on some funds. Shouldn't be much longer.

Do also still need to pick up another ABCr, sorry Roger, my M&P has been eating all my money with ammo and range time.

Flickr isn't working. Lets see if this does.

That's pretty friggun awesome looking. Can't wait to see how it shoots.

That looks fantastic.

I was on the cusp of building one just like that before everything kinda went to chaos and I had to wait.

I am definitely looking forward to a range report.

Very nicely done Sir!

[SINNER]

Very nice. Just don't forget your earpro with a .308 that short running a brake. Lol

[Pyzik]

Thanks guys.

Yeah, I've already been thinking it's gonna be loud. Haha.

I am excited to hear a range report. I have been wanting to build a rifle just like this for quite some time.

Any plans to suppress that sucker?

I was just on Silencer Shops site and for a .22 can, another Recce 5, and a Recce 7 the sum total tax and all is less than $2500 bucks for all three. Plus I would get $400 in online store credit from Griffin too.

Hopefully before I leave to move overseas I can take care of all that. Financially if nothing big comes up I might be able to pull it off in a month from now.

I don't even have a .308 except for an AK which I won't be suppressing. A gun like you built though.... man... that's on my dream list. You can easily take that thing out past 800 yards.

Weight? What barrel?

[Pyzik]

Weight? What barrel?

Rainier 16" middy. (again, thanks Uwone).

Weight, unsure. I don't a good scale but I can try. It's lighter than the 556 SPR I just put together.

You'll probably want to double up if you're under a roof. Even a flash hider on a 16" .308 is concussive. :)

Like rattle your teeth concussive....

I'm digging all the fde lately and that thing looks great. I'll bet it's a bit violent with that 16" barrel..

I'd like to do about the same , maybe a 18" .
