We do know that there are two standards, the Armalite and the DPMS, and that generally most others will fit one or the other. So while it's not a single standard it's close. So which will it be? I'm ready to write a check to whoever is going to put on the market what I want for the price I want. I honestly want it to be Del Ton.

I have an idea! Pick me pick me!

If you can afford it, expansion could be an option, if you can afford maybe one more lathe or something, I'm sure we'd be willing to pay maybe 1 or 2 more dollars per $100 we spend to go towards it, I mean, yall could raise the prices up maybe 1-2% and we'd still buy it. Just so long as you let us know what our extra 1-2% is being spent on, I'm sure everyone will be willing to pay that tiny bit more to get stuff faster, maybe even more! You've still got the best price/product value out there, seeing as how satisfied and addicted everyone is.









Please don't beat me up everyone!!!

Anything?

I read on some blog somewhere that at SHOT a rep said the basic ar-10 was going to have a 699 price point, any truth to this? I apologize, I cannot find the posting now...

EDIT:

Nevermind, i misread it.

No price point yet. I will say they'll be competitive with DPMS.

I have no clue how Del Ton will do it but most ARs in 308 are proprietary rifles. Unlike the AR15 the 308's upper from onr company may not match up with a lower from another.

Well, as a customer who has bought quite a bit of stuff from you all over the past few years, I have put back some coins in the cookie jar to buy one of these as soon as they are ready. I will trust you all to work out all of the bugs before you start selling them to early buyers.

You look more attractive to me than ArmaLite or DPMS to roll the dice on a .308-style AR. I am surprised to keep reading posts from folks who bought the ArmaLite AR-10 and end up with ejection/extraction problems or other little gremlins in their expensive rifles. To be fair, I don't know if these are magazine problems, ammo problems, etc. Let me say that before I get flamed by an ArmaLite AR-10 lover. If I paid that much for a .308-based AR platform, I'd expect it to work reliably out of the box as long as I did my part and kept it clean, used quality magazines and quallity ammo.

Armalite version # ?. The company has changed hands a couple times over the past couple decades. I doubt you'll get an Armalite Lover flaing you in here.

It doesn't take much to get the ArmaLite board folks riled up. I recently posted asking if the AR-180b/c was still a viable project and that I am basically interested in basic rlfles that function well - without a lot of fancy gadgets on them. This touched a nerve as they stated that they are working on "true innovations that will make the AR-15 a much better-performing rifle." Oh, and they took particular offense at the use of the word "gadget."

The way I see things is that the AR-15 platform's BASIC operating system is what it is. You can put fancy optics on it, you can put fancy furniture with rails on it, and you can you can possibly do a couple of other cosmetic things to it, but it is what it is. As far as "new dynamic, game-changing innovations," I don't think so. Anyway, that's why the AR-180b/c project is on hold. They are busy with these supposed "dynamic, game-changing innovations."

If they would simply manufacture a metal lower receiver for the 5.56 AR-180B and chrome the barrel/bore, this would be all the "dynamic, game-changing innovation" I would ever want or need.

Anyway, this is why I am waiting for the Del-Ton .308 AR-type rifle. Note that I did NOT say Del-Ton AR-10 rifle. Saying this makes ArmaLite go ballistic too.

Help, on the verge of buying a complete RRA lar8 standard operator. Any news its been 3 months since last post by Delton on 308 AR status.

I might have an FFL by the time y'all get them done. Sign me up for 4.

Put me down for a 18 to 20 inch heavy barrel !
