I think Scottmilk9 (Specialized Dynamics) may have some in the works too-it'd definitely be worth checking out.

Re: AR-10 Receiver?
Either but do they even market receivers for AR-10/LR308 like they do have a million for the AR-15?

Re: AR-10 Receiver?
Not millions like the AR15, and there is nowhere near the standardization. Lots of proprietary stuff that doesn't play well together.
Biggest difference is AR-10 pattern upp/lower vs LR308 (DPMS) pattern. They take different magazines, barrel nuts (and I believe barrel extensions), and the uppers and lowers from each don't fit interchange....

Re: AR-10 Receiver?
Does anybody carry any of them like midway or brownells or any other retailer?

Re: AR-10 Receiver?
What magazine pattern do you want to run, the current Armalite AR-10 mag based on the M14 mag, or the SR-25/DPMS mag?

Re: AR-10 Receiver?
i think i would like to run the dpms mags seeing as how i have a LR260 and know what stuff works with DPMS LR308 series.

Re: AR-10 Receiver?
The list of 308 AR manufactures using the DPMS mag is big and getting bigger all the time. Here's a list, probably not complete, of those making complete rifles or uppers and lowers in the DPMS mag pattern:
KAC
DPMS
SI Defense
Fulton Armory
JD Machine Tech
Kaiser Works
Tactical Machining
JP Rifles
POF
Mega
LMT
LWRC
Seekins (soon to released I believe)
Oberland Arms
LaRue
Les Bauer
EDM Arms
Bushmaster
Remington (just a repainted DPMS)
RND
AXTS
Fidelis Arms
Iron Ridge Arms
If anyone want's to add or correct that list, feel free to do so.
Out of that list, many of those receivers have different shapes and specs and won't interchange with one another.
Best to do a lot of research and them most likely, you'll be purchasing from the manufacturer.

Re: AR-10 Receiver?
Check Rainier Arms.
Last I checked they carried both patterns. Noveske, POF, etc. etc.
When I first started building a .308 AR I went with the Armalite pattern because the components that were available were higher quality.
Now it seems that the industry is standardizing on the DPMS pattern. If I were going to build one from scratch again today I would probably go with a POF or Mega receiver set.
