PWS MK216 I really liked mine a lot
LMT MWS is pretty solid You can't beat a GAP-10 probably the most accurate I'd do a complete Aero Precision M5 in FDE with a Kreiger barrel |

Larue Ultimate Upper Kit. Your choice of 7.62, .260, or 6.5 CM. Hard to beat right now and the option for a $399 TranQuilo suppressor.

I also just noticed that they offer a DPMS lower compatible option for the upper, but you can order the LaRue billet lower to complete the build separately as well, which is what I would do. When you want to get a suppressor, this rifle is meant to run with the LaRue Tranquillo, which you can add on for $399. There isn't anything else like this option on the market.

Larue Ultimate Upper kit for sure! Then go back and place an order for the lower. It’s a win win.
You’re welcome! |

I've been through four different major 308 AR companies. On the early rifles I had to change things out or modify the weapon to make it work or be equipped the way it should be.
The last company I went through was Knight's Armament. I've sold the others and now have two SR25's. They run flawlessly both suppressed and unsuppressed. They are true battle rifles that that have continued to evolve through their fielding by our military. From the factory, nothing needs to be to be modified or changed. The 4.5 lb two stage trigger is excellent and the BUIS or off-set BUIS (model dependent) are my favorite folding sights. The ACC has a chrome lined barrel and weights in at only 8.4 lbs or if you prefer the APC is not chrome lined. The rifle length gas system makes it the softest shooting 308's I've ever used, which makes for fast follow up shooting. Everyone has their own flavor, but IMHO you can't go wrong with one of their rifles. |

Armalite and be done with the nonsense. The SR25 and LMT don't offer enough over the Armalite to justify the cost for civilians.
Most of us cannot tell the difference in accuracy and consistency between these rifles. Don't get a Ferrari if you don't know how to drive at 200mph, or else you're looked at as the douche who blows his money to bask in others envy. Which no one really likes that guy, just hang around them in hopes of picking up scraps. |

After you get the upper, what is the cost of the lower? Is it stripped/complete? |

The 308 lower is $300. It's stripped but the UU kit comes with the LPK, MBT trigger and pretty much everything else you need. You will have a complete rifle after placing an order for 2 different products. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Grabbed at Windham 18” fluted barrel version for $1195 at grab a gun. I also have a Windham 5.56 with thousands of rounds through it without a single malfunction. You don’t hear about this brand much, but they’re very reliable and a great value. Accurate as hell too |

Not all the same staff, but yes, it's the original Bushmaster plant (pre-Remington buyout) in Maine. Remington was never interested in the facility or employees; they just wanted the brand name.

I still like my RRA LAR-8 X-1 rifle. 18" stainless fluted bead blasted and cryo treated barrel - factory guaranteed 1MOA or better (it's better) and runs about $1700 street price. Only downside of the rifle is it uses FAL magazines.

It is possible to buy an Armalite AR-10 for $750 right now.
Or. A complete kit customized to your requirements by LaRue for under $1300. I am surprised by some of the options available. Edit: except lower. |

JP makes some awesome ones, but they will run you as much or more as just about anyone else except maybe KAC. One of the lightest 308 ARs though, and it has some nice features like side charging handle. Super accurate.

I've a PA10 that I put an A1 buttstock on with a longer heavier buffer and spring. Six hundred dollars for the original rifle plus the cost of the buffer and spring. Works well. As long as the rifle works, and hits what you are aiming at, what more can one ask of it. Some are expensive, some are relatively cheap, if it works I don't knock it.
