AR 10 Advice

Honestly, I would save a little more and buy the Larue Tactical kit for $1192

I put together a PSA $199 lower + $399 upper combo. Very pleased with fit and it shoots great.

Not a bad looking gun for that price! I got very similar just SS

I'm not so sure how much AR10 you're getting for $800 but you'd spend that much on accessories.

I got the DPMS .308It's a bad *** a gun ! Being I shoot hogs with 22's I have no issue with a 5.56 or .223 banging a hog out. You just hit em under the ear lobe and it's a done deal.

.308 is a ton of gun ,,,, literally too. Mine weighs a ton. No kick.

I like the 5.56/.223 for most things.

DPMS is fantastic for the price.

I've heard good things about the PSA rifles as well and are same pattern as the DPMS. I'm going to go with a PSA ar10 this time around just to try something new.

My PSA parts ar15 has been great.

Aero Precision has their M5(.308) standard lower on for $249.99. Their M5E1 16" .308 CMV Complete Upper Receiver is $560.00 and mags are $19.99. They make a quality product and I like their setup better than my DPMS. For $25.00 you can go FDE.

This. Either buy the LaRue or buy the cheapest thing you can find. Anything in between the two is a waste of money IMO.

[TacticalCowboy]

Psa has complete uppers for $300 and complete lowers for $160.

I'll put my 16" bushy up against a larue with a barrel >18" just to prove anything in between ain't a waste of$

Truth, to a point. If you want the best buy the GAP, Les Baer or Seekins. GAP builds from the Seekins upper/lower.

If you have not honed your skills shooting a semi then your groups will suck. The claims of .5 moa out of a budget build I would question. If you buy a cheap model and want to impress your friends just hand feed the ammo into the chamber instead of shooting semi.. Kinda defeats the purpose, right?

Buy a cheap AR-10 upper and slam the bolt down feeding a round and then measure the COAL compared to a round in the rest in the box, that will tell you what you need to know - most low end uppers will eat brass and seat the bullet further when firing.

You absolutely need an adjustable gas block if you intend to shoot suppressed with an AR-10. You will see your brass chewed up and most not re-loadable without one.

I have seen cheap uppers that will group decent while hand feeding, but they always open up when shooting from the mag. A well built AR-10 that will consistently group .5 will cost you some coin. Among them - GAP, LaRue, Seekins precision, Falkor, Les Baer, JP and KAC to name a few.

They have made different versions but I haven't shopped one in a while. Seems like the had a tactical SSAS mode (or something like that) with a longer barrel. The longer barrel will give more velocity but will not be inherently more accurate, all else equal. At my distances (no more than 300yds and mostly under 200) I was not concerned about the velocity loss. Shorter barrel in a deer stand was more important for me. It does get long quick with a suppressor on the end. So a short barre and collapsible stock make mine handle very well.

The DPMS SASS G2 .920 gas block double extractor is an over priced weapon. The stock handgaurd does not have enough clearance for an adjustable gas block, so tack on an aftermarket handgauard to the price because it chews brass like a chainsaw in the stock configuration unsuppressed and it is really bad with a suppressor. You will also want to get rid of the silly looking hand grip. For the price you could buy a Seekins upper/lower and go with a decent barrel.

I owned one for about two months before it was sent away.

I dont have pictures on this computer, but you can check out my Instagram for how bad the SASS G2 chews up brass. _First_Round_PoP_

Cheap bolt gun accuracy cannot be had in a Semi for a comparable price, period.

Are you sure? Will your 16" gun group under .5 moa out to 3-400 yards with Federal Gold Medal Match or Black Hills match out of the mag?

[Artos]

No ar can consistently shoot 1/2 inch at 300...that is benchrest & windflag territory.
