| Does anyone have experience with these. I have wanted an ar10 for a long time. The price is right. Is the dpms gen2 worth the extra cost over the psa. I already have an fal, vepr,saiga and ptr in 308 so I don't need it but do want. |

What is your goal? Â 308 blaster? Â SAPR?
I used a PSA AR10 complete lower and stripped upper as the base for a build a few years ago; that simplified a lot of compatibility issues from the start. Â AIM Surplus Nib BCG, SSA trigger, Midwest industries free float rail (make sure you get the right height), random adjustable gas block, suppressor QD, PA illuminated reticle scope, bipod, and a nice Mega 18" barrel. Â All together it was right at $1600 for a glassed SAPR that I can shoot 1 MOA with match ammo. Â Someone with actual skill at precision shooting could really do something with it. |

Has the industry tried to come up with a common standard yet for parts or is everyone still doing their own thing? Â I would like an AR10 but being dependent on one specific company for any parts is not appealing. Â Yes, some companies put a bunch of proprietary junk in their AR10s. Â Just don't buy theirs'. Â The old, "I can't buy an AR10 because no one will standardize" excuse doesn't hold water. |

This is what I did when I wanted a .308 AR. One of the best guns I've ever owned. Quoted:

Attached File Like mine. Cycles a little fast with form 1 suppressor. I've got a new gas block I haven't put on it. Had no issues so far. |

| I have a few ar-10 type rifles.1 is dpms gen 1 pattern, the other is the new g2 dpms,24 inch bull barrel. I really like the g2,it's been 100% reliable for almost 1000 rounds.the aftermarket just hasn't caught up yet.but in time it will.it's the one nice thing about the gen 1 guns,alot of parts. |
| I got a good buy in mine. A guy over the hill bought 3 and decided to sell 2 after his sons decided they didn't want 308s. It was finicky completely stock so I got a BCG from Midway and the orange buffer spring. I can't remember the brand on the BCG but it was on the compatibility list. Runs like a raped ape. |
