is 63/1000ths going to make that much of a difference? i can't afford a pvs 26 or any other NVS'.

do you have a suggestion for a replacement? how do you tell if it's the old vs new.

nice 75, would you all mind if i posted up the parts i want to use for the build on here, for feedback?

i saw somewhere it was advertised as a forged dpms lower, meybe it was wrong

how can you tell if its a forged or milled lower, this is the one i'm looking at along with the SI defense http://www.jsesurplus.com/dpmslr-308strippedlowerreceiver.aspx

i was either gonna go with a dpms kit w/ RRA 2 stage or a cmmg kit with the 2 stage. whats your advice?

i have a 223 RRA, and the non compatibility of rra is a negative for me, thats why i want to go with something else. the cheapest way is a dpms build, but i don't want to regret it, if it wears out too quickly, or malfunctions constantly.

i have been reading alot about the feeding issues with dpms, but it seems to be crappy factory mags. i have a rock river car, and have never had a problem of any kind. so the question is, is the RRA lar-8 worh $500 more than a dpms build. or would getting say si defense upper and lower maintain reliability. is there a quality comparison anywhere, or is it personal preference.

thanks for the reply..

brand newbie here, i know it's only been a month, but is there any updates on the DS 308?
