You make some very nice guns and accessories, but I think you may have missed the boat on this one.
$2500 for this .308 while Aero, PSA, Andersen and others are putting out stripped upper/lower combos for under $400 is pretty hard to ignore. DPMS with their G2 is also available and getting decent reviews. Affordable BCG's and rail systems are also becoming readily available. All told, a nice setup but one could easily be pushing 4 grand if you include BUIS's and a decent piece of glass. |

Every piece except the barrel extension, stock, and grip is ours, The ambi bolt catch assembly, take down pins and ambi mag release are all built specifically for this lower assembly and the upper/lower are SR25 compatible.

Only thing I dislike is the uncoated barrel.... I have to have all my barrels cerakoted black.... Shiney barrels and muzzle devices drive me nuts.... |

When it comes to CNC's we don't buy based off of price, but based off of high quality!
Selectors will be launched shortly, we are building them now. You can have a black barrel. That's a option :) |

Is the SP10 upper assembly compatible with a Stoner SR25 lower?

This rifle looks amazing. I know you guys have been working on it for a while now. I recall talking to Al about the 308 back in 2011 or 12. Nothing but the best comes from these guys. Great people to talk to and deal with.

So one of the above listed lowers with a quality bolt, a Mega or Rainier barrel, a Fortis or Midwest Rail, a Magpul stock and grip of your choosing makes them inferior ?
Add your flavor of Geisselle and an optic and you still have a quality build. Sorry, with all due respect, no it doesn't. Seriously, what makes this rifle better ? Billet,ambi controls, the "S" on the side. As stated above, I'm not disparaging the quality just addressing the price point in today's AR10 marketplace. In all honesty, at these numbers I would probably be looking at a SCAR 17s, ( which I think is overpriced). Capitalism is a wonderful thing. Just my humble opinion. |

It has always been cheaper to build a rifle yourself if you want to pick and choose random parts and throw them together. That is not what a real manufacturer does. When you purchase a Larue, Knights, or Seekins .308 rifle, you are buying a rifle that was designed and created out of nothing but a few pieces of metal. You are paying for research and development, machinery to build every little component they design, the time it takes to build the rifle, and the assurance it is as perfect as someone like Glen wants it to be.
To some people that is worth the premium, to others it is not. That IS the beauty of capitalism. There is nothing wrong with building or buying, but they each have their own benefits. How many, "I just built this rifle and XYZ doesn't work like I want!" Threads have you seen? A factory built rifle ensures fit, finish, and function to a level 99% of all frankenguns will never achieve. That said, out of all of the manufacturers I mentioned above, Seekins .308 rifle is the cheapest and about to become readily available. Seekins is on par with the absolute best rifle builders in the world, and the price is fucking fantastic. Deal with it.

Whats the difference between a Jimmy Johns sandwich and one I cobble together at home? Its just bread, meat, cheese and vegetables right? What makes their sandwich cost more than the one I put together? |

Seekins is on par with the absolute best rifle builders in the world, and the price is fucking fantastic. Deal with it. I disagree. You can take multiple parts from different mfgs and make them work. I'm no gunsmith, or superb builder, but of the three 308 ars I've built, I have not had a single problem except with one brand new Armalite 25rd mag. As long as the receivers are machined well, and you do your part as a builder, double checking things, doing your research, you can build an inexpensive rifle that is on par with the accuracy of these top notch rifles. The only benefit I see to buying a complete rifle is the warranty that comes with it. You bit complete if you don't want to mess with it, or don't know how, or don't want to learn. That's my opinion anyway. Now, if Seekins would sell receivers, I'd be all over a set. They look damn nice. Dare I say, better than Mega MaTen sets. |

But, imo, sandwiches usually always taste better to me when someone else makes it. Which, the same could be said when someone else builds a rifle.

I love you, Seekins. I love everything I have ever bought from you. And everything I haven't bought from you yet. The rifle looks great, and even though I usually prefer to piece together my ARs, I may just have to pick one of these up .
But I'm still not putting out until you make more bolt catches. What's the deal? I never imagined they would be gone for soo loong. Srs question. Are they ever coming back? Either way, great work, guys.

Ya they are here :) Had some issues with the run and had to re-work a few thousand of them. I see allot of them coated sitting on the assembly bench, so sometime soon they will be available again. Dealers and distributors clean us out pretty quick so if your not in line for some i cant promise ya anything. The supply problem should be solved here pretty soon and they are even better material and tolerances.

Very nice rifle. I have a couple questions, does your barrel extension happen to be from BAT Machine? Since the new Seekins 308 iRMT-3 upper has an extended rail, and the new 15" SP3R - 308 guard is designed specifically for this, am I to assume that these products are proprietary, meaning they are not interchangeable with other mfr's uppers/rails? Thank you.

The upper and rail are proprietary. The lower to upper fit is the same as SR25 pattern and the barrel extension can be armlite or DPMS, so anyone's barrel / BCG works :)
