Want an LR-308 that looks as good as it performs? Want to develop that “extension of yourself” level of familiarity that only building it yourself could grant you? Get your zen on with this LR-308 upper assembly, with a black nitride barrel that’s been given straight fluting to show that attention-getting stainless steel underneath.
