Still looks like the day I did it. My old post:

Here is one that you even use the original barrel nut. I've ordered it after talking to Apex (it's even displayed on their main page with an S&W M&P 10). Will post pictures after I install it.
2550 308 DPMS 9.18" Mid Length Apex GatorGrip Handguard
No issues with mine. Love it! Have only added a Nikon M-308 BDC scope. I am going to instal a Apex Handguard (2550 308 DPMS 9.18" Mid Length Apex GatorGrip Handguard). That way I can use the stock gas block and still have a full float.
The .308 is way too much for home defense. You would risk killing your neighbors. It's a great rifle, but use a shotgun, pistol or maybe an AR-15 for home defense.
Gave it a shot. Just used a little of my daughters huge collection of nail polish. I started by cleaning with denatured alcohol and then brushing on the color. Waited ten minutes and lightly wiped off with acetone free finger nail polish remover. I will clean up after it is completely dry. Here...
Just got it
Just got mine. Put some flip up sights (Magpul)on it and went out plinking. Have ordered the Nikon M-308, the Bushnell TRS red dot ( to mount at 11:00 o'clock). Haven't decided on the hand guard yet. I think I want the Troy TRX 13.8" Battle Rail.
