AR 10 / LR 308 Build

[USAFVET1]

Building my first AR 10 / LR 308 and looking for some leads on reasonably priced quality parts. The stripped upper and lower I have is DPMS config by PSA. Any links or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Son of BAR7]

are you building a precision target rifle, or a blaster?

[Shovel]

Is your upper the DPMS new/low or is it the old/high pattern? Also, do you have a budget in mind to build out the rest of your rifle?

Looking to build quality precision target rifle. I plan on spreading the cost out to buy quality parts. I have the new low profile upper.

AR10 is armalite
LR308 is dpms pattern
KAC is Knights pattern.

you have LR308. Be cautious when ordering parts for which platform.

Put your money into your barrel, trigger, and optic for starters. everything else is just parts

What is all this? Op has upper and lower.

6.5 is a *****in round for LR or ELR.
Agreed with SLR adj gas block. The price you mentioned is to high
Trigger....ehhh go with AR Gold if you spending that kinda coin.

Op which caliber do you plan to run?

Do you know which components? Rail, barrel, bcg?

[valley82]

Take down pin, pivot pin, bolt catch from what I have read are PSA only parts...not sure if anything else is different as I refuse to buy from them again(one and done with **** customer service)...and I have a LR308 already.

My guess would be that the barrel (DPMS extension), rail (DMPS low height), BCG and FCG should be fine but buy at your own risk.

Just what the 308 AR platform needs...another proprietary upper and lower.

For my build I went with the the Aim surplus 308 BCG. It's shot flawlessly through about 400 rounds.

For your barrel check out Rainier arms and for rail options check out Midwest industries. They both have quite a few options for what your looking for. Just make sure to get a low profile rail

IMHO the best thing to do is do a reality check and think out what do you expect from your build, what's your budget, are you going to reload, are you willing to spend money for match ammo, are you going to lug it around, is it a bench gun only, and what distance are you engaging your targets at. For example if your going to shoot at 1k are you willing to put out for a piece of glass @ 1,850 and up? how many times will you be able to shoot at that distance vs sitting in the safe. A purpose built rig will be more useful than something that you'll look at and think "Man that thing was a money pit since I don't use it".
