.308 OLL

[5150Marcelo]

What O.L.L. do you guys recommend in .308? Fill me in, whats good, whats better. How much will they cost, whats a good deal, where should I look? Thanks guys

The only ones I have seen...are:

Fulton Armory ... this is DPMS upper compatible

Hesse HAR-25 ... this is Armalite upper compatible

I have a Hesse/HAR-25 lower....but I may go bolt action for my .308.

Give any of the vendors that support Calguns a call....they can hook you up.

Pros for the Fulton is that it's a drop-in compatible for DPMS ...

Pros for the Hesse is that it uses the Armalite designed upper...but Cons for the Hesse is that you have to tweak Armalite magazines to work. You can use DPMS magazines on the Hesse, but the Armalite upper needs a slight modification to accomodate the DPMS magazine and the magwell of the lower receiver of the Hesse may need to be opened up a bit for the tight fit issues.

You can get alot of info by doing a search for "AR-10"...there have been several good threads on the subject.

What do these usually cost?

[bigkahuna04]

..............

A friend bought the Fulton lower for around $400.00

The Hesse lower is about $300.00......?

[5150Marcelo]

right on... thanks

He only said .308 OLL, not AR, or did I miss something?

You're forgetting HK91 clones (PTR, JLD) & FALs (DSA makes great ones).

UCLA....
your'e the man...OLL does not exclusively belong to the AR types of design....I have tunnel vision...my buddies and I have put together 13 OLL - types and they are all AR designed based. Looks like we'll be involved in another 4-5 OLL builds (AR's) within the next 2-3 months as parts are being shipped in from backorders.

Get an M1A/M14.

I have an M14. I love the rifle and it will be my Zombie, invading Canadian rifle. I am also in the process of building up a POF-308 lower. Easiest build yet. I need a front pivot pin though due to it being longer then the traditional Ar15 pivot pin. The lower uses 90% of the Ar15 parts kit and no roll pins to deal with. The ambi bolt release is very nice.

Don't forget about POF GenIII lowers and DPMS uppers...

I have one, and love it!

+1 on the POF lower. The lower may be more expensive, but it went together way too easy. So far, I've used it with a Fulton Titan rifle upper and two modified Armalite uppers with no problems. Haven't tried it on any Zombies or invading Canadians, yet, but I suspect it will work quite well.

POF is the best out of all the above...cant believe you forgot to mention them. They make billet lowers also.

So who/where has the best prices?

My vote goes to Noveske's Leonidas .308 AR

I'll just throw $2k out there for the price. I'm sure it's up there somewhere.

Armalite lower, can't do it until they get there own Noveske branded lower (rumored but nothing yet).

Lower is a lower when it comes to quality mfg. Billett, forged and etc. Need to take a look at the entire system and not just at the lower.
