LWRC REPR KAC KAC isn't piston. I think your choices are: LWRC - Solid PWS Mk2 Series - Solid Adams Arms - New, unknown but probably good and on the GII platform Ruger SR762 - Solid Sig 716 - Solid POF - Hit or miss.... Some people love them and others have had problems. All I know about them is threads on here. Hogan - Seem to have a good reputation. Pretty much same type of design as POF. I'm sure there are others. |

I love my Sig 716. great gun and shoots well. Only thing i don't like about it is the rail. its a short quad rail and leaves very little space for bipod or light. If i were to buy a semi auto .308 I would buy the PWS.
I have the PWS 5.56 and love it, never fired a .308 PWS but i have to believe they are awesome. My friend has a LWRC REPR and its amazing, but i just can't justify the price for my activities. My Sig with SDN6

My POF works perfect with good ammo almost with reloads. It does deserve a better scope...one of these days.

I had a Sig 716. I now use a Ruger 762. Both very good rifles. Plenty accurate for deer and hogs, but I like the Ruger handgaurd better and also the midlength gas system.

Thoughts on the SCAR 17S in 7.62x51? They are great guns, but they are expensive and so in my opinion not worth the extra money. I also don't like the short rail on them and so you'd probably want to buy an aftermarket rail (expensive). Decide what you want to mount on your rifle and how far you want to mount it from the mag well, then go look at these rifles because you will see that there's not much room on some of them. If I were to buy one .308 piston gun right now it would be the PWS. |

If I were to buy one .308 piston fun right now it would be the PWS. Scar 17 is still far cheaper than a LWRC Repr, even with an after market trigger. If shoots just as well if not better. But agree if I were in the market for a .308 piston ar PWS would be at the top. They make some quality rifles. |

The SIG and Ruger are both "best buys" in the piston AR-10 market with styles and features that make both rifles appealing. The main complaint for me with the SIG is the weight but that's somewhat the nature of the beast when dealing with AR-10's in general. I am also not a big fan of the carbine-length forend but that is overcome easily enough by using a Lancer carbon fiber forend. |

Lots of European military and police units use HK MR 762 (HK 417) rifles since they can get them across the EU without having to pay US export/Euro import fees and taxes.

Will a PWS upper work on a DPMS .308 lower?
|

Posted: 1/27/2015 9:10:01 PM EDT
[#24]
yes.
Also, when buying a modern rifle make sure you think about rail space and what you want to mount. Most modern rifles (colt, LWRC, PWS, AA...) are going to work fine, but where PWS and LWRC take the cake for me is the rail space. I never shoot my SCAR because i just don't like the way i have to hold it to shoot it. Its the other reason I don't like my Sig 716. If I were to get a .308 I would get a PWS or LWRC. I really like PWS gas system. |

If they work nicely with aero precision 308 lowers I think this just might become my long considered 308 rifle.
Well, once reviews come in of course. I am not an early adopter. I also have an odd ability to induce malfunctions in mechanical devices without really trying. Friends have handed me guns and they usually start malfunctioning. |

I am also looking at an ARAK31 upper. After shooting a friends ARAK21, what can you do but fall in love with it? I have never shoot a smoother AR-type rifle. I am saving to make my next upper an ARAK. If the Faxon Firearms guy is reading this.......what is the chance of seeing an 18 inch barrel on a 5.56 ARAK21 upper? That would be the cherry on top for sure!

Well I must admit that I was very impressed with the beat down that vigilant specter gave one of your rifles. Hard to imagine many guns surviving that kind of a savaging. I don't treat weapons like that, just for the record.
