[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1871639, member: 113501"] I bought a clearance price Wilson Combat 338 Federal barrel. I haven't gotten it out to the range yet but it's in an Aero M5E1 receiver set with matching hand guard and partial LPK. I have either a Larue MBT or a cheap Rise Armament drop in trigger, either is a nice upgrade over a LPK trigger. It has a Toolcraft NiB coated BCG, an Odin Works tunable gas block, Mega charging handle, AR10 length carbine buffer tube. It's a simple combo and cheap. The Toolcraft NiB BCG is much nicer than a DPMS BCG and cheaper. A DPMS LR308 LPK is more expensive and not as good a choice as an Aero M5 LPK if you are using Aero M5 (or M5E1) receivers. DPMS created the shorty buffer LR308 style carbine buffer setup which Aero also builds. The AR10 length setup that uses a longer tube with standard AR15 length carbine buffers is much better if you ever need/want to change buffer mass. That's something to keep in mind if you reload or your box ammo wasn't developed to run an AR gas system, I think 338 Federal counts. [/QUOTE]
