Hello everyone! Another noob to the .308, but not the AR. I'be been lurking for the past couple days (please forgive), while I wait for my "cool off period" to expire and I can head back down to JD Machine and pick up the matched set i ordered. Trying to get as much info as possible before I start pouring money into this build.

This is an awesome site, already learned A TON!

Did you have JD build it or are you doing that? They built my lower and I have been piecing the rest together.

prison_planet, I've been doing the build myself, along with a 6.8, and a 5.56 for the OL.

Welcome aboard. I hope things go well for you here. JD receiver sets look great. I know nothing about function though. LOL.

MaDuce, I've had a 5.56 with a with a JD lower, and have been pleased. I'll let everyone know how this .308 works out. The shop is really cool, especially when it comes to customer service.

I also have just received a JD Machine upper & lower 2 weeks ago. With xmas coming I am holding off going any further. I have a big list with all my new friend here @ 308ar.com . I bought my Sig 516 complete . Did'nt do my home work from start to finish. Made some costly mistakes. I'm going to listen and take suggestion with this one and hopefully get what I want the first time.

I love my JD Machine upper & lower. But the service is not so good. I got a lower parts kit. When I got to the catch bolt pin on the parts kit it was threaded and the lower was not threaded . I sent the lower back to JD to fix. Rather than go into detail. I have made several calls and its finally fixed but they just wont send it back to me. I am itching to get this 308 going.
Do I have to go get it myself.

They make beautiful stuff, but I fear the best part of their company split off when Kaiser Mil Tech left. I've heard bad rumor about their business practice too.

All that is opinion and hearsay. Don't let that take away from their quality of work. They are very good at what they do. They are also extra affordable for us Cali boys.

If you are near the SD area, I say stop by their shop. I talked to one of their machinists on the phone a year ago. He was very helpful and took care of me in a few days.
