Thinking about my next one AR-10?

[clandestine]

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

Yea, but it's not a piston system, direct gas...
Curious the price though, I'd still lean more to Clandestine's shopping list, just because.

Yes those are the ones. But the one i initially mentioned has an intgrated rail now thats part of the upper. Its cheaper than a seperate rail. Daniel Defense makes rails that fit as well.

Nice. Thanks Todd

Edit: uh Todd that link goes to an ar15 set 5.56/.223 we were talking about .308
The. 308 appears to be $592. From both places

I like the monolithic upper combo. That's pretty awesome.

Chad,

Reading a bunch of stuff reccomending a matched bolt and barrel.
since Noveske doesn't make bolts, how about an armalite barrel to match the hard-chromed bolt?


Edit:
*We recommend using the same manufacture for your barrel and bolt. As always assembly should be done by a qualified gunsmith, using the proper head spacing gages.

Edit again:

does the Giselle trigger meet this recommedation
(*When using an Armalite or Knight carrier a narrower then mil-spec hammer is required. Check with carrier manufacturer.)

Theres 2 different Barrel Extensions commonly used for 308 AR Platforms. DPMS Type, and ARmalite Type.

You can use either typ of barrel in a MEGA, BUT you must match Bolts and Barrels.

Noveske uses Armalite which means only an Armalite Bolt Group should be used. The Headspace comment is there so people dont do something stupid and not listen. Its highly unlikely that if you choose the right Bolt Group that it wont lockup and headspace correctly.

If you want to use a DPMS Bolt then get one made by Ranier Arms. DOnt use a DPMS barrel, their chambers are often rough. Even their bolt groups are made poorly IMO.

Yes the Gieselle will work its narrower than a Milspec AR15 Hammer

I am Looking at an AR10 308 as well.

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

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.

 

[Bart_man]

Here's another question.
Are there other calibers this could be done in?

My mistake, yes I woas using my spec sheet and its dealer pricing. Expect about a 20-30% higher markup price.

What ate the chances of ordering the parts through you?

Unfortunately Im not able to do that. I dont have an FFL to get those prices. I just have access to buy them from my former employer at dealer cost.

 

[Klunatic]

Understood, thanks for the info. May still give it a shot..

 

[verizonguy]

Here is my .308 build with the Mega Machine matched upper and lowers w/ Rainier Arms 13" Rail.....

 

[mdoffroad]

[jcov79]

That is gorgeous, what kind of distance are you getting out of it?

 

[verizonguy]

About a city block or so.....

I like my DPMS SASS. It has been 100% reliable.
