Interesting. I like the looks. However, is that the DPMS Gen 1 receiver set pattern?
I would have thought that MI would go with the new Gen II pattern.

I'm pretty sure that's going to stay 100% proprietary to DPMS for a while.

Sorry, Adams Arms has their version out already and others are working on them.

Good looking sticks, but why do they only come with a 10rd magazine?

What kind of accuracy can be expected? I think you could pick up a lot of sales by contacting some of the top 5 placers on the 1 MOA challenge and getting one of them to shoot it with one of your rifles.

We ship these with a 10 round mag because most people are either shooting their 308s off a bench or are using them for hunting.
Both off a bench and hunting 10 rounds mags are handy. I have taken my fair share of training classes and can only remember one guy in all of my classes running a 308.
We do sell 308 mags on our website. We have a bunch in stock and we wont limit how many you buy. You can order cases of them if you want.

Accuracy with these stainless barrels has been great. With the right ammo these would do just fine in a 1 MOA challenge.
Of course that also requires the nut behind the stock to be tight as well.

Those are nice looking rifles. Curious about the muzzle brake. I was looking at it on MI's website and there's no specifics about it.

How efficient is it compared to a brake like the Lantac Dragon? What's the purpose of the 3 little round holes on each side? What do they do?

Posted: 8/1/2015 8:06:25 PM EDT

[#10]

The three holes on each side have proven to reduce some flash . There is a step on the inside that forms a cup then bleeds some of the the gas through the six holes . The rest then hits the front baffle.

So will MI be selling the MI marked stripped uppers and lowers and parts kits too or just completed rifles?

Posted: 8/2/2015 2:23:36 PM EDT

[#12]

At this time we will be selling complete rifles. If we do break them up it will be a complete upper or complete lower to ensure proper assembly , parts and function. 308 rifles are a different animal and can be to much for some people to get a properly working gun .

Here is a 5 shot target shot at 100yds resting, with 168grain Federal GMM out of a 16" MI-10

Also be sure to check out this video of a 1000 yard hits with a 20" MI-10 with 175 grain ammo.

16 or 18?
for 500-700 yards, will be getting a 300wm for 1000+
they look very nice... introductory color, cerakote, hydrodip etc would be cool :P

Looks like a good barrel choice. What trigger?

Posted: 8/14/2015 7:28:51 AM EDT

[#20]

16 and 18 inch guns come with a G.I trigger. The 20 inch gun comes with a 3.5 lb CMC . There are so many preferences when it comes to triggers we let that up to the purchaser if they want to upgrade it on the 16 and 18 inch guns.

I have two MI .223 rifles that have been perfect I can't wait to buy a .308 next!

Posted: 9/3/2015 10:38:28 PM EDT

[#28]

My next purchase is pretty much between one of these or one of the new offerings from Armalite. Will be keeping a close eye on these.

Edit: Do these rifles come with irons?

The rifles do not come with irons. They do come with a coupon that you can use for a discount on a set of irons or one of our scope mounts.
