Thinking about my next one AR-10?

verizonguy · Oct 28, 2011

Mine pretty much has majority DPMS parts. Sass barrel, gas block, buffer, spring, chrome bolt and catch and internals, minus Armalite Tactical trigger.

No one suggests a .50bmg? I mean, if you want a long-distance gun might as well go big or go home.

$2300 with Optics and Mount. $1700 without Optics and Mount.

How can this be? I'm interested in building this, but when I priced it out, just the upper/lower and barrel ($982 and $560), and I'm already at over $1500. The stock alone pushes that over $1700. Am I missing something or did the price go up significantly in the last couple months?

I was listing the prices "I" can get it for (Dealer Pricing). I clarified later on that standard pricing is much higher.

I see, I missed that. Oh well.

From my personal experience with my build, I was at around $2200 before optics and I didn't even have really expensive parts. It could have been a lot more had I have gone with a Noveske barrel or high quality trigger group.....

Colt is coming out with their SP901 in .308 soon. Don't have anymore information than that at this time.

The Colt 308 kicks arse becuase it takes AR15 upers too. Its an amazing design.

I tried pricing this but came up with a much higher price tag. I assume you are at 1700 dealer pricing. Would be interested in this build if I can find sources with the right pricing.

So I'm reviving this thread because I've managed to knock out the bills and am now dealing with a positive cash flow.

so this long overdue project is getting started.

Today I ordered and put a deposit on the MA-Ten Nickel Boron monolithic quad rail upper and lower set

Apparently like everything else in the industry the waiting period is long. <sigh>

Inigoes · Jul 13, 2012

Keep us posted.

I've been curious over the monolithic designs, if they do in fact increase accuracy.

Yup. It makes me smile when the ones I put together kick the REPR and LMT guys asses with Accuracy at the range.

Checked out your photobucket pics. Very nice weapon. But you're crushing my REPR dreams; I had one on my when-I'm-rich list.

mranaya · Jul 21, 2012

Bartman, is NiB the outer coating? Very nice! Looks like something a cylon would carry.

Bart_man · Jul 31, 2012

Well the bad news is that Mega Arms is not filling new orders on this reciever.
apparently they have stopped production and are re-designing.
Sigh

Sorry to hear it Bartman. Are you considering going with the patent winner, or are they not as sweet?

thinking of going with a FAL and thinking of never buying anything from LMT ever ever ever....

mranaya · Aug 1, 2012

I just did a search on FAL receivers. Pretty nice--first time seeing one.

I hope to get one in the next year. I'm sure they will be sick as hell. Of course I have early adopter phobia (and don't have $2400 saved up) so I will never be the first to have anything. :toothless

DaemonAssassin · Aug 3, 2012

Another option if you are willing to do it, is to get a Rock River LAR-8. It uses FAL mags (inch OR metric, it will use both), has one heck of a decent trigger, and did I mention it was .308? All joking aside, I own a RRA LAR-8 mid-length A4 and I love the thing. I am seeing .5 MOA or better when re-zeroing every year with handloads for deer season (165gr SGK's). As for accuracy beyond that, I don't know. I will say that the 2 stage trigger on it is sick, breaking right around 6 pounds or so. You can get your choice for configurations and custom work done before it leaves the factory if you wish.
