Re: MA-Ten Pics

In for pics... wish I had a ma-ten... I have a rainier arms select 16" ar10 barrel just sitting brand new collecting dust..
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

Mute you have almost the exact same build I am trying to put together.

Good looking gun man!!!
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

I have been looking at Ma-Ten for a build as well but there are so many options.

CSARFE, can't wait to see your rifle and specs on it. Have we met before??
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

Re: MA-Ten Pics

What buffer assembly did you use cupid?

I am using a JP low mass carrier and enhanced bolt with, standard carbine length spring, a Magpul CTR stock and tube.

I had thought about trying the Buffer Tech AR10 Hydraulic buffer, but didn't know if it was worth the extra money or not?

My chamber is a 24" Brux 8 twist in 6.5 creedmoor that I picked up from the hide.
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

Just using the standard AR10 rifle buffer and spring. If anything, I'd recommend Slash's heavy buffer from heavybuffers.com. I wouldn't do hydraulic buffers if I had the choice. Supposedly they tend to leak.
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

I was going to just use a DPMS carbine buffer but checked around and the places I looked showed them out of stock.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: cwillits505</div><div class="ubbcode-body">cheapest Ive found a ma-ten set is $562... anyone know of better?</div></div>

I just found out AIM surplus has these on sale right now. Use promo code: bryanfreakinrocks

It's less than $562 with free shipping is all I'm gonna say.
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

Here's mine, Noveske 12.5" barrel. Still need BCG and buffer before I can make fireballs. Second pic is a Larue 5.56 16" and a 338 Lapua Mag. before my paperwork was approved so I didn't have the lower on the premises.

The stock will be replaced also, just an extra I had laying around.

We might have. I'm new to the community, so if we met, it might have been at Kirtland last year some time. Where you stationed at?
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

Looking good boys, keep em coming. I just ordered a Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 from Scott at Liberty Optics today. All I need is a trigger, grip, compensator, and a scope mount and mine will be done. I've been thinking about having a buddy of mine do a multicam paint job on it, what do you guys think?
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

If you guys don't mind can you put in the prices/total of your builds? I know this will vary due to deals and what not.

I'm torn between a Ma-Ten, LaRue, LMT, or buying a MK12 Mod0 build. That's America for you,lol.
I'm in the 41.
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

Don't forget to throw POF and a GAP-10 into the mix. Price is subjective, I'd say you can start off with about $1500 all the way up to $3k+
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

I'll be at about $2700, less optic when mine is finished.
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

I am looking at about $1800 with getting the PRI Gen 3 carbon fiber hand guards and a buffer assembly.

To get things up and running I went with the cheap DPMS parts kit trigger. Will up grade that down the road.

Got lucky and picked up the JP low mass system with enhanced bolt here on the hide. It was used with around 100 rds on it and still looks like new.



 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

Build sheet was as follows:


Mag catch spring –from LPK

Pistol grip - Ergo
Barrel – Rainier Ultra Match 20” rifle length
Bolt carrier group - Armalite
Gas block – Rainier Arms low profile
AR10 Rifle length gas tube
Handguard – SWS E1 15"
Trigger – Geissele SDE (SD3G), since changed to Timney
Battlecomp BABC
Magpul PRS
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

What bipod was that with the claw feet on it in your other post? Or are those just attachments to a harris?

Nice rig!
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

Those claws were phoenix pod claws. They are feet that can be retro fitted to a harris or you can get a whole set up from phoenix. They worked awesome but I wanted to get an Atlas so that bipod was sold.
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

I want an Atlas for the adjustability, but I'd really like to have a GG&G bipod too. Decisions, decisions...
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

If it wasn't for the price I would have had an Atlas already. I think you'll be pretty satisfied with the Atlas. I can't wait to get out and put it to use.
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

Alright boys, mine is almost finished, but here are some pics as she sits right now. Excuse the crappy grip, just needed something on it until my Ergo grip comes in:

The MA-Ten set does not come with nice feed ramps, but rather ridges that need to be ground down to be uniform with the feed ramps on your barrel extension. Here's what it should look like; nicely polished, opened up feed ramps:

I need to order an ADM Recon mount, Geissele DMR trigger, Ergo fat grip, safety, and a bipod. Currently waiting on a Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 EBR-2B from Scott at libertyoptics.com (hooked me up with a wicked deal!).
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

One thing I will suggest to anyone with a Mega or considering a build is look into the BCM gunfighter. I found with mine the extra girth of the receiver made charging a chore.

The BCM with med latch allows for various charging options and has the d durability of the proven design. Worth looking into for any one with a 308 AR.

Apologies if I missed it, but who did your paint job?
 
Re: MA-Ten Pics

I really like the multi cam man. I was thinking about having a multicam duracoat job done on mine down the road.
