you cant beat PSA's price when they have there daily deals. I looked a lot into building and buying and I ended up with a PSA upper/lower pre assembled from them.
bought my upper and lower from them. it takes a while. I want to say the upper was almost 3 weeks and the lower was about two. mags shipped with in a week. I will gladly wait for the processing time for the price i paid on my upper and lower
I have been watching the prices of parts for AR variants and the prices are the same for mags, bcgs, uppers, lowers, and magazines as they were before the sandy hook panic. I think you will even see prices become cheaper yet on parts.
I talked to a local Scheels sales rep and he said they...
I am thinking the 20" is the best option for right now. I can upgrade later on if I want. Like I said the most part it will be used for target shooting
If you were in the market what barrel length would you chose in a AR .308 platform 16" or 20"?
They claim to have the same accuracy out of both. The 16" comes with flash suppressor and forward assist. The 20" does not...
Sorry for beating the AR .308 question's to death. I just look for knowledge before I buy something. 1500.00+ is a lot of money for me and I want it to be well spent.
For those of you who use Armalite gen2 proprietary mags have you had any problems with them? Any thing that makes the un reliable?
Mastiffhound,
Your correct I wouldn't be asking questions if something concerned me. Personally they feel junky in my own hands. Also I have never owned a AR .308 I have only shot them and the only one I shot was a DPMS. When charging the BCG it just seemed very gritty and the fit and finish...
No fighting in this thread. Just facts. So far dpms has my nod. Unless I call armalite and they can convince me with some BS lol. honestly I don't see the chrome lined barrel as a deal breaker. If I shoot it out I will just replace it.
The thing that really turned me off buying the Armalite is the lack of options with the new model. Other then that it was at the top of my list. I just don't think I'm going to get the accuracy I want with the sixteen inch carbine barrel according to the guarantee. Maybe I will buy the older...
Basically besides the magazine issue all I have heard said bad about the dpms is the fit and finish is nothing to write home about. Other then that they seem to be a reliable rifle
I am looking for factual information on why not to buy a DPMS .308. Not just "they are junk" "my friend had one and it was junk" or "all I have read or heard is people say they are junk" I would like to some actual evidence on what problems have occurred with the DPMS .308 line and if these...
Sorry you misunderstood. I was only talking the difference between ar .308 dpms and armalite. Not difference between the ar15 and ar .308. The way I under stand .223 and .308 parts that sometimes you can use the 15 buttstock and some trigger parts but that's it
I am pretty sure if you can't figure out how to disassemble and assemble a ar platform you better not take apart any of your other firearms. I agree I will eventually have the tools on hands to fix anything anything that might break or needs to be adjusted. what barrel length do you guys...
I had started looking at tools before when thinking about building a AR15. I figured it was about 200 bucks in tools then also. Im starting to think as of now im better off just starting out with a pre assembled AR 308 that has a warranty and do upgrades to it down the road.
I understand about not having to buy the parts all at once and that makes sense to be able to afford better parts. But at the same time I still don't want to pay over 1500 bucks for the firearm or the tools. Call me cheap or what ever. If I want to upgrade I would just do it down the road...
I know plenty of people build AR15 type platform rifles for various reasons. Whether it be cost or specific parts you might like not offered on one rifle.
Is it worth building a AR .308 When your main goal is your budget? I mean will be actually gaining anything paying $1500.00 for parts...
I am going to try to answer all the questions and ask a few questions in this reply. I still haven't figured out how to quote text on this site yet:rolleyes:.
First off this is primarily going to be a range gun. I don't really plan on dragging it around hunting. I might use it out of stand...
From the research I have already done myself It was a toss up between a ptr91 and a AR type .7.62 semi auto. As of right now I am leaning toward a armalite or a RRA 7.62 platform.
The biggest sellers for me is the availability of after market parts and that they use some ar 15 parts. The...
