Quoted: I'd like to do an SPR in 7.62!!! I may put that down on my build list for the near future. What kind of mags are used?

Get Ndenway in on that subject. He has an Armalite AR10 that is pretty damn accurate from what I saw. It uses an altered M14 mag. I believe DPMS or somebody makes a lower receiver in 308 that will use unaltered M14 mags.

like D said the armalites/eagles use the modified m14 mags,their around $38 ea. with the armalite follower, the bushies and asa use fal mags(metric I believe)$4ea., and the dpms uses the sr 25 style, they now have a 20rnd. metal mag to replace the 10rnd. poly, but it runs something like $50.
its probably cheaper to buy a new rifle outright than try to build one, the dpms is the cheapest at around $850+ from online stores, the eagles are around $950, and armalites base models A4 about $1100 and T models start around $1500+, and the bushies I've seen in the metro are all $1600+, the only upper/ lowers I've seen offered were the armalite/eagles for $250 ea. and M1S had armalite "only" kreiger 26" target barrels for $650, the only parts that interchange between the different brands are the FCG and grips/stocks.
the barrels, upper/lowers bolt/carrier will not interchange, their not standardized like the 15 series.
fwiw OA has the cheapest prices on the 10s and BARs in the metro,(gave $1050 for my A4 carbine) but H&H also carries a few of the BARs, and afaik armalite is the only co. offering the collapable carbine stock at this time from the factory, theres a member(slash I think) on the board thats mfg. buffers for the 10 series that allows the use of 15 series stocks to be used.
my 10 took some break in time, and has to be ran wet, ask anyone thats seen it, if the bolt isn't dripping with oil, the bitch will short stroke every time, but lube it up good and it will eat anything I put in it, as for accuracy, if I'm doing my part and also shoot good ammo it will put three inside of a inch at 100yrds. and five shot groups are a joke, the barrel gets hot fast and cause the group to open up to around 1 7/8th, but even with the indian surplus it will group around three inches or less.
