JD ar-10 receivers- any good? Other receiver opt?

[robdes]

Anybody use one of these? I am assembling the parts for a DPMS pattern precision 308. I like iron ridge, but I want a forward assist.

Joe,
Do you know if they are buiding 308 lowers for the HK 91 mags?

I am currently looking at the JD set up after I had my heart set on the cmmg g3 setup. What steered me clear is that there is no bolt stop for an empty mag, meaning you have to jack the charging handle every time you put a new mag in it.

Just so you know the idea behind the G3 lowers is that you can get mags cheap. ive seen them for just a few dollars.... not worth it to me....

Send it,
One other reason. Measure the inside COAL of a 91 mag. On the 260, the 91 is king.

I'm good with the bolt not locking back. I had a bad experience once with the bolt closing on a full mag and not picking up a round. Feed lip was bent down and I didn't see it until after the hammer landed on dry ground.
