I am aware of the compatibility limitations of AR-308/AR-10 rifles and such. If you were to recommend a good start lower, not something high end, but functional and a good price, what would you recommend?
I’ve been looking at an Aeroprecision M-5 loser as it appears to be fully DPMS pattern compatible and the price seems reasonable. A little shocking compared to the $40 and $50 AR-15 Anderson lowers you can find everywhere, but I don’t really expect (even though I want) the 308/10 stuff to be as cheap.
Or is there another better option in the same <$200 price range. Cheaper is better unless I’d be sacrificing a lot of quality and/or compatibility (I’d like it to be DPMS pattern compatible).
Just thinking maybe as a black Friday/Christmas gift picking one up for the safe for some future build. I’ve got a couple of other things ahead of it, but a receiver in the hand is worth whatever somewhere else.
