Barrel for AR in .308

Be careful, NOT all PSA uppers will work correctly with all DPMS pattern lowers.

My buddy has a PSA upper in 308 that will. NOT take p-mags, and will not lock open when on my DPMS pattern lower.

Yes, I know the mags lock into the lower...but, with my friends upper, they wont lock in...steel mags work perfectly.

thanks for adding this. Yes, not much standardization on “AR-10” platform between companies. Actually, only Armalite has “true AR-10”...PSA, S&W, DPMA, etc. have their own specs on some parts...

Who said mine was bare? Or stainless?

I am. And my time is not worthless.

You believe to be able to send 7000 rounds through a SSbarrel with any kind of accuracy?

Yup.
Maybe not bench rest quality at the end, but more than enough for a torso.
Do you doubt an ARs durability so much?

David Hoback said:

See, you missed the whole part I talked of the barrel bore being treated. Even the highest prediction of 6.5CM barrel life is around 3000 rounds.

No. I caught that. When did we switch from .308?

David Hoback said:

Yet you somehow believe yours will “magically” have barrel life more than DOUBLE that number?

No magic in a .223, just long barrel life.

OK, good luck with that.

Luck is part, but not essential. I find reading comprehension and math go a long way to the cause.
You may find facts and humility to do wonders for yours.


Please have a nice day.

Yawn.... The two of you BORE me!

Ba-Bye.
