Thinking about running a gas gun in PRS because why not (I need to keep myself entertained).
I have an older DPMS (Gen 1) 308 that runs. As with all things, AR related, the obvious solution is get a 22" 6.5 creedmoor upper. (I shoot a lot of 6.5 manbun already)
Problem--none of the uppers are compatible with each other, and finding the right DPMS upper could be a problem. That's option 1:
Option 2 is rebarrel. I've done light work on my bolt guns, but AR is more intimidating. TBH I just wanna fn shoot and not mess with the crap.
Option 3 is buy--probably a seekins or maybe a JP/GAP. Lets be honest--I'm not in the running for any wins or class leads, so anything over a seekins price is wasted money.
My goal is to have a running setup that I don't have to F with, just clean it, reload shoot, repeat. Advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. For a barrel like I mentioned 22" heavy barrel, and I do like the seekins handguard for barricades and whatnot. ANy other things to watch for for quality of life? AGB worth it? I generally run a brake in comp, but I do have a can and I know the ARs get fussy.
+2 length system?
Triggers -n- crap I've been doing forever.
Not a super fan of side chargers simply because I've used the "standard" AR-15 style. I can learn (I had to reteach myself to shoot left handed).
Input and cheap shots are welcome
