Hi guys, I've done some Searching and Reading up on this Rifle. But still would like some inputs in my case. There's a slightly used (Less Than 200rds) Armalite AR10 at a local gun shop. The shop owner is asking $899 for it. It's the Basic A4 Model (I think), with 20" Barrel, regular plastic forearm, Fixed Stock (Green), and basic Grip.
I've been looking to build a Semi Auto .308 and currently has a project lined up. I have a completed DPMS .308 Lower with a work in progress CMMG Upper.
My questions are:
1. Is this rifle a Good Deal to purchase? Seems like brand new they're around $1,500? It's in great shape, the previous owner took good care of it.
2. I understand you can't use the DPMS or PMAG .308 mags for these. Only Armalite/M1A mags. But can I put the Armalite Upper on my DPMS Lower to use the more popular magazines???
3. I've currently invested about $500 to in my DPMS lower, and the upper I'm wanting to build is going to run about $1,000 when all finished. But now I have this chance to buy a Whole Entire Rifle for half the price. Should I just give up on my project and buy this rifle instead? Then sell off what I currently have to make some money back?
What kind of accuracy can I expect from this Basic AR10? I know it's a lot of questions, but I do appreciate very much everyone's help and support here. Thank you all very much for your kind help!
