Well it was a long hall for this baby but I am sure glad I purchased it. Thanks to DPMS Bolts holding this baby up about 2 months, it finally arrived this week and took her out today.

I purchased the .308 Addax Tactical Guardian Upper Receiver. Chris at Addax was great to work with allowing me to customize my order down to the 16” barrel from the original 18” fluted one.

I took her out today and it ran perfect. No issues what so ever, very smooth and might I say this thing is a friggen tack driver. Took about 4 rounds to zero in and then she was unstoppable. Woot Woot!!

Thank you Chris from Addax Tactical Well worth the wait!! And thanks for the Schwag!

Thank you. I am only painting the Lower, I just didn't like the CMMG Coating. It was my first time Duracoating and was pretty easy. I would recommend it if someone was looking to change the color of their firearm.

Thank you. The AFG is good on some rifles but I did switch it out already for a QD tango down stubby. I also switched out the stock to a Vltor EMOD one. Will post an updated pick later.

I changed mine up a little this week.

1. Took off the AFG and put on a QD Tangy Down Stubby
2. Took off my Magpul CTR and put on a Vltor Emod
3. Grabbed a B&T Quick-Detach Bi-Pod for bench shooting (very easy on and off and pretty sturdy as well)

how is the fit and finish on that cmmg lower? i wanna build a light battle ar308 i have it down to that cmmg and the mega billet set. looks great by the way

Triggs75 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 21, 2012, 08:08:18 AM »

Thank you. The fit is ok, the finish on this lower was not to my liking, that is why I duracoated it. If I were to do it all over again I would probably go with a TM Lower or the Mega Lower. The CMMG lower fixed trigger guard makes the area very small and I could not add a phase 5 tact. bolt release cause it hit the lower. I am happy with my lower and build still though.

What's your opinion on the BABC? I have a BattleComp on my AR15 and I'm currently building a .308 as $$ allows and I'm stuck between the BABC and the SJC Titan. I"ve heard some RAVE reviews on the Titan and since it's $100 less, I may go that route. Although, I DO love the BattleComp on my AR15, but if it doesn't perform better I can't justify the extra cost. The difference is almost the cost of the A1 stock kit I want to get.

I really like the BABC it feels and does very similar to what it does with my battlecomp 5.56 comp. But it really depends on what you are going to be using your .308 for. If more for precision shooting then you might want to lean toward the SJC. For me I wanted more of an all-around compensator with my 16” barrel and my set up.
