That is a really good rifle they're doing and Doug is one of my good friends there.
Nice gun ![]() What kind of glass are you thinking of getting for it? |

View Quote If Doug ever finds himself in St Louis, I'll be happy to buy him a beverage or three of his choice! Thank you! I'm very happy with it and I havent even fired a shot through it. Currently, I'm leaning towards a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3.5x15 FFP.....but there are SO many options out there, it's easy to get lost. I'm very new to optics and especially precision rifle optics, so I have a lot to learn before I make a decision. What do you suggest? |

I've been hearing good things about these rifles and I'm strongly considering buying one to get into the .308 AR game. I just wish they made them without that funky mag well. With a hi-cap mag they would probably be fine, but with hunting legal mags, that unnecessarily deep mag well would have to be a real bitch to deal with. That feature is the only thing that has stopped me from buying one already.

From what I've read, 10 rounders fit, you just need to stick them way up there to get them to catch. My 20's and 25 round magazines all eject easily, (assuming they fit in the first place, ...Lancer L7 did not). I have no reason to think 10 rounder's would not fit in the gun and function normally. I did a more complete "break down" of the rifle in the tech forum: Double Star 10b. I put this thread in GD so that Double Star CS and Doug could get more publicity/traffic than is over in the tech forums. You're in KY...the rifle is made in your state. Go find a way to get your hands on one! |

A friend has one of their 1911s. It's a spectacular gun.

Go find a way to get your hands on one! View Quote I'll have to do that. There is a Double Star dealer here in town and they had one of these rifles sitting on the shelf the last time I was in the store. They appear to be quite well made with high quality components. I suppose I shouldn't allow a fairly minor thing such as the mag well design stand in he way of a potential purchase. The folks at Double Star know how to make a good product. For whatever reason, many people seem to regard Double Star rifles as a cheap, low end, entry level type gun. And they certainly have models that fit that bill. But they also produce higher end type stuff with all the bells and whistles for those who want that. I think one would be hard pressed to find another rifle (or even build one for that matter) that has the features and components of the 10B for the same price point. You're getting quite a bit of gun with one of these. And for the record, even their most inexpensive line of AR rifles seem to run very well. One of my shooting buddies has had one of their lower end, off the shelf AR rifles since 2014 that we've given hell and it has always functioned superbly. It has never been fed anything besides cheap Tula crap, yet it runs like a champ after several thousand rounds. Witnessing that made me view Double Star products in a different light. |

View Quote I'm embarressed to admit it, but I thought the same thing prior to receiving this rifle and doing more research on the company. They build a hell of a gun and they use quality parts if they dont manufacture something in house. Sure you can buy an inexpensive gun from them, but that doesnt mean it's low quality. And their Designated Marksmen rifle looks like a 5.56 version of the 10B! I had been wondering what took so long for them to get into the 308 AR game,(again, not realizing 308 AR's and AR10's are NOT standardized like AR15's are what with different barrel nut thread patterns, rail heights, and receiver patterns). There isnt much information out there about these guns, but one article I read stated Double Star was about to release the 10B and then Magpul released the gen 3 LR/SR PMag and it didnt fit their rifle, so they scrapped it, redesigned the rifle rather than sell one that didnt. I believe this because the pre production gun I had first did not accept Pmags, and this one does, and the fact that Doug and the Double Star folks were so quick to make things right. I truly believe that Double Star makes a great product and backs it 100%. Double Star has absolutely earned my business and I will recommend their rifles to anyone looking for one. |
