Found a good deal on a DPMS 308 with the heavy 24" stainless barrel. Thinking about getting it and shortening the barrel to 18 or 20" and putting a new floating tube on it so it won't be so heavy and I could maybe take it hunting occasionally. My question is how about much would this cost and where should I send it? I am in Ga. Thanks for the help!

Re: DPMS 308 question
According to my talks with DPMS, the barrel length means something to the rifles operation. When I asked them why I couldn't get a 24" 300 SAUM, they said it would not function properly. If you want to hunt with a 308, get the 308 TAC 16" upper.
It is very handy and mine will shoot MOA with several factory and handloads.
With a 1.2-4 Trijicon and a good trigger, it is a handy effective rifle.

A recontour might be what you need to shed some weight. Take it from .920 to say .850 and cut it to the length you want.
I would be glad to do the work. PM sent.

Re: DPMS 308 question
Thanks for the help, may keep looking for one with a shorter barrel because this deal may not happen. Would have bought one last year if I knew how hard it was going to be to find one. Realy don't want to pay gunbroker prices!

They, and all AR platforms are pricey because they soon may be banned.
