Anybody like the Daniel Defense??
I recently picked up a used LWRC REPR and I would highly recommend it (I guess it can be put it in the AR-10 category.)
https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2015/4/10/handling-general-george-s-patton-s-m1-garand/General Patton wrote a letter to Springfield Armory that has given us one of the most memorable gun quotes of all time: “In my opinion, the M1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised.”
we could do a separate thread just on AR10 variants.
If you get a Cetme stock up on parts and buy alot because the parts you are getting are probably surplus used.
I don't like the PSA .308s.
Arma lite .AR10 A4 I believe takes the SR25/DPMS mags. Get one and remove the clamp on FSB with a pinned GSB, Gas Block, or better off an SLR adjustable Gas Block and pin it.
DPMS LR308S are decent but often need some tweaking to run well. Tubb Action Spring. Ramp and Chamber Work, and a Geissele.
Opinion on RRA AR10? I haven't had any problems, but don't shoot it a lot.

DRD Paratus.
So glad we moved to WV...
That be pretty and stuff. Is that a SCAR after market stock?Love my Paratus

Hmmm, ideas for that stock...It’s a Magpul Masada stock/Bushmaster ACR. Lots of companies make adapter plates for certain firearms

I digress. Can I rewind this thread temporarily? By what criteria are we defining a “battle rifle”? I’m envisioning (albeit probably narrowly) a mobile, free-hand shooter that would be handy in home defense, 2 or 3-gun running & gunning, basically a relatively lightweight shooter that would be equally at home in...well, battle. Basically I’m envisioning an AR-15 5.56/.223 platform / weight combo.
My admittedly limited AR-.308 experience is that they’re pretty heavy and though I’ve never been in combat or in a gunfight of any kind, I can’t imagine spending any kind of extended time behind the trigger if not on a bench or rest of some kind. Case in point, I just setup a DPMS SASS, damn nice rifle, may even have become my favorite in a very short time, but damn is that thing heavy. I still couldn’t see myself running thru a village jumping walls and ditches, or running a stage on a course carrying a 15 lb rifle.
I have been monitoring this thread because I have a handful of 5.56’s, and was debating grabbing a lighter weight AR-10 style for the running and gunning type shooting described above. I too am following the progress and the advice in this thread, and by my narrow definition explained above I really haven’t seen anything that strikes me in particular as a “battle rifle” (M1A’s and Mini-30’s aside that is, because for some reason in my mind they seem to fit my perceived criteria).
Ahh, good call....
Good point. Though I’m not all that inclined to dedicate the time and effort into a build, so many more things I need to do. I’m still not sure that the image that pops into my head when I hear “battle rifle” is congruent with everyone else’s (like I said I think my definition may be a bit narrow), but I am overall digging the suggested rifles throughout this thread regardless.You do know that if you are smart with the build, you can assemble an AR10 that is <8.5#, right?
