Afraid he gave you some bad info.. You need the 308 lower. You cant just modify the mag..

MGI is trying to make a 308 mag well for their modular hydra system, not out there yet.

And how would you modify the mag anyway? To make it fit a round a half inch longer-- That sounds like some serious redneck WECSOG work.

ok well since that guy that gave us the advice has no clue what hes talking about! I would like to get some advice on building one. or do I just have to buy a complete gun?

You can build if you desire.

A couple vendors have stripped lowers on the EE for as low as $165 + $10 shipping to your FFL.

Special on barreled A4 uppers Click

Takeoff and new stocks & stuff on the EE Click

Armalite has mags on sale too 5 for $150 Click

thanks DnPRK and I think I would like to build as it will be my first build.
at first we were gonna go with ARs so we went ahead and ordered the lowers and our friend that ordered them said it be 3-4wks now it has been over 3months and still no lowers!!! so as of right now I would lke to move onto another project and im thinking the .308 will be nice
