Looking to build an AR in 308 before we are cut off in CA at year end.

What receivers are working well with what BCGs and barrels? I'll most likely source the receivers first, then work my way down the list of parts needed.

I like the Mega MaTen receiver sets, but at this stage in the CA game, you should grab up what you can. As it gets closer to the end of the year, it will be harder to get most things AR. And throw in the election....look out.

Mega. Good luck finding any in stock though.

If I were you I'd decide first if you want an Armalite or DPMS/SR25 pattern and start buying parts accordingly. If you cant get a receiver set before the end of the year, you can probably break even on selling the parts or make a profit, depending on who wins the election.

I'm leaning towards the DPMS pattern.

A side charger would be a nice option for this build. I see Gibbz has one.

I bought a completed upper from tom Johnson through gun broker.   Cmmg stainless barrel, dpms compatible upper receiver.  He is very knowledgeable and helpful with any problems.  Very nice,  build was very easy.

Aero Precision makes some really nice ones!  They are in stock as well.  DPMS pattern.

Thanks for the replies.

Seems like Mega Arms are out of stock at all the places I've looked. Actually not much luck finding any 308 lowers in stock.
Might have to do a 80% at this rate...

I had no issue getting a mega upper and lower. Walked into a local shop and they ordered it for me.
