howa .308 model 1500
http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...1&d=1357594356
so i picked this up yesterday at the Gun show in Spokane WA, Saturday the guy had it on his table for 575.00 on Sunday he marked it down to 475.00 and i walked away with it for 250.00 i have to build a new stock for it as it is a thumb-hole stock made for a righty i was thinking of doing a build on this and documenting it on here. i would like to turn this into a magazine fed instead of the built in magazine, for that i will need some information. this bad thing weighs 10 1/2 pounds so i don't think i will be trucking this thing through the bush for deer.

this is my coyote killer, rock-river arms with an upgraded recoil as well as trigger kit, it is just your a typical AR-15, so not much to say about that

Sine you're already replacing the stock do yourself a favor and buy a quality stock that is already set up for a DBM (detachable Box Magazine). Look at stocks from McMillian, Manner or go with a Chassis(Accuracy International, KRG, etc) which will accept DBM/AICS magazines right out of the box and are straight drop in and go systems but will run you more. In the end you wind up paying a gunsmith to bed your stock and do the DBM install ,which comes out to be about the same as just buying a chassis from the start.

Thanks for the information, i was just going to make my own stock, i have a friend up here in Ford that is a gunsmith and he said it would be cool to do the work but a drop in would be a lot better the i can get what i want sooner, thanks for the links.

what you see on that is a reflex red dot and the magnifier behind that, it is 3x and i was really surprised at how clear that thing is i took a chance on a package deal. Barska i bought that with the intention of getting something better later on but i am impressed with what i bought, it was the cheap affordable stuff and new turbo and injectors for my truck or the expensive cool toys and no new turbo and injectors, made my choice and was like i said surprised at the quality.
well i have the Howa build all purchased unfortunately the links that Papa Zero Three posted is also out of budget i am going with the Axiom black-hawk TH and topping it off with http://www.opticsplanet.com/dark-ops...mm-doh327.html

Check out the HS precision stocks. Not to (overly  ) denigrate my esteemed colleague's recommendation for a Manners or AICs stock but you're wasting your money given what you're most likely to use the rifle for and the additional gunsmithing required to make that rifle shoot to the potential of the stock. Check out https://www.hsprecision.com/shop2/ or http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet/StoreFront. Just a suggestion and worth exactly what you've paid for it.
PS - HS Precision has a military discount, you just have to know to ask for it.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

lmao dang it i already used my credit at amazon for that axiom well i will save the money the stock i really want was on stocky but costs 600. some odd bucks, wish i would-a seen this before i ordered lol. on the bright side the Axiom stock did not really cost me anything as i had a 200.00 credit at Amazon, i guess i buy a a tone of e books from them and there was a class action lawsuit so they gave me a credit to my account. win win i get to buy a scope and a trigger
