    Is it worth it to build a DPMS pattern AR10?

    Re: Is it worth it to build a DPMS pattern AR10? I wish I would have asked these questions up front. I bought a stripped lower, then found out everyone wanted >$1000 for a custom 260 upper, or else they were sold out. As stated above, scouring this forum for deals is the best way to save...

    LR-260 buffer question

    Re: LR-260 buffer question Appreciate the reply ORD, but I meant to say that I got carbine buffers and springs in their respective calibers. I have a carbine buffer tube for the AR-15, but got a rifle-length from Les Baer when I bought the PRS for the 260 from them. However, your point is...

    LR-260 buffer question

    I am putting together an AR-15 and an LR-260 simultaneously. I accidentally bought carbine buffers and buffer springs for both. My DPMS 260 has a rifle-length buffer tube and a PRS stock. I believe that I now need a full-length buffer; is this correct? Anybody have suggestions for a 24"...

    Rifle Scopes Low-power AR optic choice

    Re: Low-power AR optic choice Thanks BobD, I think I will go with an MTAC package. After looking through some reviews, it seems quite the value. I am not sure about picking up a FastFire just yet, but will definitely go with the QD PEPR. I found some sites that offer all 3 (i.e. both...

    Rifle Scopes Low-power AR optic choice

    Re: Low-power AR optic choice Appreciate the input, but where'd you get a $300 MTAC? I will keep an eye on the forums, though.

    Rifle Scopes Low-power AR optic choice

    Re: Low-power AR optic choice $500 for the MTAC with a mount is quite tempting; however, I was trying to stay a little cheaper than that price point. Also, the Mark-AR is almost making me pull the trigger, with the rebate and OpticsPlanet.com special giving a $75 discount. I mean, all other...

    Rifle Scopes Low-power AR optic choice

    Re: Low-power AR optic choice Leupold is the most likely choice, as I just found out that OpticsPlanet has a $25 coupon, and Leupold has a $50 rebate. I am just not a huge fan of the turrets, as well as not being able to look through one of these to form my own opinion. Any of you guys have...

    Rifle Scopes Low-power AR optic choice

    I have an 18" AR project finishing up soon and would like to cap it off with a ~1-4x optic in a Burris PEPR (or similar). I am looking at the Nikon M223 1-4x BDC-600, Leupold Mark-AR, and Millett DMS scopes. I would like to keep it as cheap as possible, but still have a durable scope. I am...

    AR optics question

    I am putting together an 18" bull-barreled AR and want a red-dot AND low-power scope. What is the best way to mount the red-dot at a cant? Anyone have a recommendation on a cheaper, quality-made 45 degree mount? I might go with a Weaver 1-3 or 4 scope up top. Thanks again, -JA

    338 edge?

    Re: 338 edge? So, what's the better option, 300WM or 300RUM? And where might the best deal be for 700s right now? My local Dick's has limited choice SPS-Vs for $500 and local stores have SPSs for $400; anyone have better?

    budget AR build barrel question

    Re: budget AR build barrel question Thanks for the advice. I got a Midway coupon and picked up the Mark 12 barrel. I chose that one because: 1) AR ammo is much cheaper tha 300WM and I don't get to a ranges long than 200 yards very often; 2) I can pick up a shorty upper later for a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Revolver question

    I recently got bit by the S&W bug, again. I have a 686-6 shot, and have a crush on the 627 PC 8 shot. Anyway, I don't have a cool grand to play with, so I don't own one yet. Yesterday I found a Smith Hunter with an unfluted cylinder in 41 Mag for $650 and was tempted. Had it been 44 Mag or...

    budget AR build barrel question

    Re: budget AR build barrel question Saw that, but their 18"ers are all 6.8s. It's a matter of price point; if a barrel is much over $200, I will soon own a WO. I appreciate your guys' inputs.

    budget AR build barrel question

    Me and a buddy are doing an AR build and I would like some input. I am looking at a heavy 18" barrel with a rifle-length gas system. It's going into a DPMS slick-sided upper. My buddy has a thing for White Oak and, while I'm not against them, DPMS M12 barrels seem to be $100 cheaper. I would...

    powder dispenser question

    Re: powder dispenser question Thanks for the advice fellas. It looks like a good chunk of my next paycheck is going to RCBS (again).

    powder dispenser question

    Looking through Graff's catalogue and saw the Hornady scale and dispenser combo. I am wondering if you guys have any feedback regarding the combo. Also, is there a reason it is $100 cheaper than the RCBS set-up? Thanks in advance.

    LR-308 question

    Re: LR-308 question B3dlam, that is a sweet looking rig sir. I was on Fulton's website, it was more like window shopping. I mean I spec'd out a nice upper and watched the four digit price tag continue to climb as I kept saying "Now wouldn't it be cool if ...." I appreciate the heads-up on...

    LR-308 question

    So, I got my birthday 'special pricing' for MidwayUSA and have my eye set on a 24" .260 upper. It says that they expected delivery June 30th (yes, this year). My questions are: 1) has anyone received a DPMS upper recently from them; and 2) if so, how long did you wait? I called and they said...

    Gunsmithing 40X stock question

    Re: 40X stock question The stock is an ADL, so the only cut is for a long rail (i.e. No metal inletting is done yet). The bipod rail slot runs fromt the triggerguard to just a few inches short of the end of the stock.
