Ok, got it. Sounds like the older (higher) DPMS height is the way to go. Anyone know the rail height from the centerline of the barrel?

Hi Guys, I'm designing a new 308 AR upper/lower combination. The 308 AR patterns that are out there that come to mind are DPMS, Knight, and Armalite. I know that DMPS has moved around their rail height on the upper receiver to the chagrin of many. The basic specifications I am...

Assuming you're in the UK, have you looked at IOR stuff? I would think the IOR B/GA 7x40 bins with reticule might work for you. I'm happy with mine... The ones I really want are the EDF NVA East German things that look like two toilet paper tubes...

Actually looking at manufacturing them. The 5.56 lower design is done, now working on the 308.

Hey guys, What do you look for in a quality AR? 308/7.62x51 if that matters. Could use a few pointers, and would be interested in people's opinions around here. Thanks!

Anyone know where to find these? They are a porro prism, rubber armored with IR detector and reticule in the right bino.

Re: Binocular help Bought some IOR 7x40 binos with reticle. We'll see what they're like when they get here.

Hi guys, looking at grabbing some binos. Could use a little help. I'd like something with a rangefinding/mil reticule in it say 7-10x. Reading on wikipedia Porro prisms seem more desirable from a light transmission viewpoint compared to roof prisms. So it would seem to me that I'd want that...

Re: Wants to buy a .308 semi auto battle rifle Oh, all you AR-loving Nancy-boys need to get an FAL!!! ha-haa!

Re: Troubleshooting Failure to Feed on a DPMS LR-308B My buffer measures 5.280" end to end. I am running an A2 stock/buffer tube on it. If it's bolt over base jams, probably not enough gas, which would sound opposite to most folks experience with DPMS 308's. You should NOT rule that out...

Re: DPMS 308 Issues Well went to the range yesterday and got a hold of some FGMM 168's. Have a cold right now and felt like crap so shot like crap, actually I wouldn't call it shooting firearms... perhaps rather just discharging them or straight up turning money into noise. Anyhow did get 1...

Re: DPMS 308 Issues Understood about the 150grainers, knew that going in. HOWEVER, it did shoot them fairly well w/o gas. I would not have expected the difference between gassed and not gassed if the twist rate was the dominant factor.....but understood, 168's or preferably heavier...

Re: DPMS 308 Issues Yeah, I've seen that. Might do it, the downside is if one gets too enthusiastic on the retaining setscrew you can booger the threads, which would probably booger the block when the adjusting setscrew is removed. Obviously that method will lock down the adjustment though...

Gents, I've got a DPMS 308 that I don't think is quite right yet. In the interest of disclosure, the rifle is as follows: -1/10 24" SS -Standard DPMS tube FF HG (and the barrel nut is now properly torqued) -CMMG lower, RRA 2 stage non adjustable trigger/hammer, A2 buttstock w/extender...

Re: Range etiquette and barrel length I keep thinking about building a 17" Mosin-Nagant Miss Manners Range Rifle with a big-ass brake, like something off a Paladin. Gotta capture and redirect all that rank, rimmed Soviet goodness. The noise and stink should keep them from realizing that an...

Re: new dpms lr 308 I suppose that things should be set up per user preference. However, I seem to get a better cheek or more consistent cheek weld chicken-necking it. Obviously that would lead to getting scope bit (for myself) in some of those setups. Tig-Ol's stuff looks more like mine...

Re: Anyone tried S&W 5.45x39 upper? I've got a 20" 'A2' type M1 Sales setup (already had the other parts just bought barrel, bolt, FP). Carrier and bolt are parked only. Not sure about the bolt FACE but would definitely recommend coating of the bolt tail. I do get some pitting on the bolt...

Re: new dpms lr 308 Question for all you guys that have rifles in pics. Are you guys shorter? Not trying to bust balls or anything, but curious about the placement of your ocular lenses on scopes relative to the butt. I see there are a lot of magpul stocks, but I've got an A2 stock with...

Re: FAL accuracy experiences The thing about FAL's is that folks compare a kit gun built with a shot out barrel with fucked crown to a bedded M14 with a Krieger tube. Apples and oranges. The built M14 more accurate than a worn out FAL? No shit! I've got a couple that are sub 2 MOA easy...

Re: 308 AR mutt build Yep, gotcha on the buffer tube. I've built a DPMS as well, so I know the deal there. Anyone know about the length difference b/t Armalite and DPMS 308 gas tubes? Or if the Cobb barrels were worth a sh*t?
