Hi all, As the title states, Im looking to building a AR10. I have the lower already, Aero M5 DPMS style. Im gonna get the upper from Aero since its high profile (".210") and want to make sure its a fit. If you have any suggestions here, I would love to hear them.
Now, The thing is Im reading quite a bit about making a AR10 into 300 WSM a PITA it seems. Mags are hard to find and metal ones are better. Issues with feeding. Hardly anyone makes barrels or BCG for them. I have found DeadShot barrels and there up to 10 weeks for one. KAK makes the BCG it seems. Still researching things.
Any of you guys make an AR10 in 300 WSM recently? How did that go? Im not to worried about time. Ill be looking for more info and sales since I want this to be my "nice rifle".
One of the reasons I want this to be in 300 WSM is because I already reload .300 Blk and 30-06 SPRG. I wanted to keep with the .308 bullets if possible. I also thought it was just cool to have a mag cartridge in a AR platform.
That being said, If its a major PITA, I could go another route but I dont know which way.
I didnt wanna do .308 since I have 30-06 and I feel like its the same thing in a way. I never cared for 6.5 CM yet it seems much better for long shots, shoots flatter ETC.
Opinions? Thoughts?
