    I finally decided what I want in an AR-10... and it's this. I'm going with the stainless finish barrel though. Otherwise it'll be pretty much the exact same build. I started getting the parts from 2A today.

    I have yet to pay above a AGL Combat trigger due to cost, but have shot the Giselle. How does a Wilson compare to a Giselle if you have shot both? Thanks for any info.:thumbsup:

    I have a Giselle SD-E on one AR and a Wilson 2-stage on another. They're both great, but I like the Wilson just a bit better.

    I really need to stop in and pick up the last few remaining parts. My build will be very similar to this just black with a stainless 20" barrel

    While I haven't gotten either of them to the range I have a Geissele SSA-E on a AR15 and the Wilson TR-TTU-M2 trigger on this gun. Both are two stage triggers. The Wilson has a lot less take up and is a much easier install. The Geissele has a lighter pull on the break. The are both major improvements over a stock trigger. At this point I am not sure which I like more. I'll be better able to form an opinion once it warms up enough to go to an outdoor range.

    Nice build.
    I have two wilson triggers that I have gotten from 2A. They have a test rig to drop them in and let you try them out.

    I don't have pricing info handy, but here is a complete list of all of the parts that went into the gun:

    Lower Assembly
    • Black Rain .308 lower receiver
    • DPMS LR-308 lower receiver parts kit
    • .308 Rifle length buffer tube, spring, & buffer
    • Magpul PRS .308 stock (FDE)
    • Magpul MOE+ handgrip (FDE)
    • Wilson Tactical TR-TTU-M2 trigger

    Upper receiver:
    • Black Rain .308 upper receiver (in a set with the lower)
    • Black Rain 18" black fluted barrel
    • PRI Delta Gen III Delta Forearm in FDE
    • PRI adjustable gas block
    • mid length gas tube
    • Black Rain .308 Nickel Boron Bolt Carrier group
    • PRI gasbuster charging handle
    • Random flash hider from the parts bin*
    While pictured with the Harris bipod, it now has an Atlas bipod.

    While it wasn't all in stock at the same time, everything is from 2A. I am sure Mark and Tom would be happy to help you put together your own variation. Last time I was there they had a round PRI forearm in FDE and I heard that they should be getting some FDE .308 receiver sets from Black Rain.

    * The random flash hider is only installed until I can get the mount for the Saker 762
