Noveske/Armalite build

If you want to use pmags go with the AR10A route.

First determine if you want the SR25/DPMS/Armalite10A pattern or Armalite AR10. The first allows use of Pmags! Next determine what you want to use it for. You can go 16" and have more of a fighting rifle or 24" for added velocity shooting to distance, hunting is possible with any though the 24" will be damn heavy. A good barrel will be just as accurate no matter what length. I went from 24" bull to 18.5" medium wt profile. Huge weight difference, some loss in velocity but much more functional IMO - could be used for fighting, 3gun, precision, and hunting.
