I am thinking about getting an AR10 and have some questions. -Is there much difference between Armalite and DPMS? -Is there any other makers that you might suggest that are not over $1300? -Where is a good place to buy from online? -Are all AR10 mags compatable? -Anything else I should know about? -It seems that DPMS does not feel the need to put a shell deflector, assist, and chamber cover door on their rifles-should I be concerned about this when purchasing? Thanks in advance. |

http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=62&t=378850 This thread is your best friend. I got my AR10 A4C (16" barrel) for $1200. But I got mine from a "kitchen table FFL", who has no overhead. Armalite is probably your best bet, just because they've done a lot of work to tune their rifle with their mags for reliability and have a lot of top-quality parts. Mags ARE expensive and occasionally hard to come by for the Armalites, though. DPMS has been in the 308 game for a while, so they are also a good option. But the parts do not necessarily interchange...DPMS and Armalite can't really swap uppers and lowers. Many other makes have tried to do a 308 rifle, but most of them try to adapt their rifle to use FAL mags, instead of building it from the ground up. Most have failed. I don't know much about Rock River's attempt yet. |
