Perfect!!! That was EXACTLY what I was looking to see. I may need to order one of the JP tension pins when I decide to order an upper... Thanks! <thumbsup>

TacBlade - Could I talk you into taking a couple close-up pictures of the upper & lower assembly? I've got a CMMG MK-3 lower & I was hoping to see how it looks with the DPMS upper, as I'm thinking of going that direction with mine. ;) Also, I've got a DPMS .308 LR parts kit... Will everything in that kit work on my CMMG lower, does anybody know? Thanks!

TacBlade: I noticed from your profile that you are in Rapid City. I lived there from '86 to '05 (graduated H.S in '87). I still have family out there & make it back every year for the Sturgis Rally. I stopped at a local gun store in Olympia, WA, yesterday & let them convince me to take home a bare lower CMMG MK-3... Looks live I've started my 1st build. =) I'm thinking of going for something with an 18" barrel with around a 12" rail... Planning to take my time with it, because I never did pass it by my "financial advisor". <dontknow>

I can't believe the BS that spews from some of those in the media... Matt, you are RIGHT ON!!! --American Taxpayer-- >:(

Thanks, guys... I look forward to soaking in as much information as I can from here. It should be fun. I've already started planning ways to bribe the "financial advisor". ;)

I've owned guns practically my whole life, but never really done much shooting (except the old Daisy 880 BB gun as a kid). I still own my 1st gun (Marlin Model 60 .22LR), which was given to me by my dad on my 18th Birthday. My 2nd gun is an old 1961 Rugar .44 Mag. Carbine that was handed down to me when my great grandfather passed away in the late '80's (still have it). My 3rd gun was a S&W 357 Mag. Highway Patrolman, which I no longer own. Last, but not least, my 4th gun owned is a brand new Gen. 3 Glock 23 (.40 Cal.) that I purchased for home security (and possible concealed carry) a little over a month ago after my wife had a situation with a felon that threatened her. After doing TONS of research before purchasing the Glock, I've somehow become VERY interested in AR-15's, which has now progressed into AR-10's. I nearly purchased a new Daniel Defense Model M4 v1, but then suddenly fell in love with the Armalite AR-10A4 CARBINE... My wife has laid down the law and tells me that she will not allow me to buy an "assault weapon" (this is the mild version)... <munch> However, I control where I spend my money... <lmao> or at least I like to think so... Now I'm seriously thinking of building a custom AR-10. <thumbsup>

I've recently become interested in AR-10's and googled something that included "AR10"... Been shopping and considering the idea of building a 308.

I'm just a newbie to the site. Sounds like just what I'm lookin' for. PM was sent earlier. =)
