The mono pod really helps when benched, and the trigger guard is super beefy and inletted to add to overall rigidity and use of AR grips.

Far as pricing and other things go, don’t really know much, as my gun was just a donor gun for him to work on with another friend’s.

Where can I source .308 barrels and what is the best hunting projectile for 50 yard medium sized game.
