AR Platform 308 ????

[lovemylegacy]

I am interested in purchasing a 308 in an AR platform. What I want, all things being equal, is one that is resilient, not prone to jamming or fouling, minimal maintenance, long life and light. School me please. Thanx in advance, Calvin

Just opened up a can of worms.

"Buy this one"

"Buy that one"

"Mine is brand A and I really love it"

"Brand A sucks, buy brand B, that's what I shoot. It's better"

There are too many options really but I have seen the new Seekins that is coming out next month....it's awesome.

Calvin, you want a bolt gun.

but seriously, If you take care of it, clean it, don't bend it, it will be all of the above, BUT not light.

I like my LR308 by DPMS. I don't know a lot about long life or jamming because I've not shot it very much, but I can tell you it isn't light

I hope not, I am not interested in a ****** measuring contest, just want honest opinion from each person that ACTUALLY knows what they are talking about. i will, in the end, makeup my own mind. Please no desparaging remarks or cat fights. Thanx in advance, Calvin

I have the DPMS SASS version and it has served me well.

i too have dpms lr308. Heavy, but nothing a man cant handle. Dont have a problem with jamming. I have shot all kinds including steel. It shoots better than I can. I know this cause my friends shoot tighter groups with it than I.
And it did not break the bank.

Oh and my wifes, uncles 8 year old son shot his first too deer with it. And they are tiny people's Like real tiny. Weight should not be an issue unless you are going on a 2 mile hike. We do half mile patrols to the pig feeder multiple times a night with it.

Dpms lr308b...love it.

[lovemylegacy]

Piston or Gas impingement....which is more reliable?

If you wallet is fat the LaRue is sweet...

I think this lightweight Wilson would be the one I would get if I had the coin.

The rigid but lightweight BILLet-AR receiver allows us to build the lightest .308 frame AR on the market with the 7.7 pound Tactical Lightweight Model that has a lightweight 14.7" barrel and pinned muzzle device as standard.

LMT MWS all the way
You can even change calibers (308 based) if you'd like.

Piston is more reliable in the long run but you are gonna pay for it.
