Anybody have experience with Ares Armour? They have a pretty good deal on a BCG and their barrels look tempting. I'm still holding out for black friday deals, but just seeing what else is out there.

There's a deal right now for a PA10 parts kit for $629... http://www.slickguns.com/product/psa-pa10-18-ss-mid-length-rifle-kit-wnib-bcg-62999

IBomgthathandguardisapos Received the UTG handguard in the mail today and the quality seems to be pretty good. After doing a quick dryfit, everything fits really well and matches up with the upper receiver nicely. the guard feels really nice in the hand too. I'll post some pics up later tonight.

Doh! Well I already bought it. They claim this rail is USA made, and the AR15 version get's good reviews... so we'll see how the quality is when it comes in.

OK will hold out for rainier...

I initially was looking for a barrel with a rifle length gas system, but I found a decent deal on a threaded 18" DPMS barrel but the gas length on it is carbine. Is there any advantages/disadvantages to carbine vs rifle length? Which one would gain me better reliability with cycling?

So I found a deal on the UTG rail for $110 shipped and bit the bullet. Pretty good deal considering its about $150+ everywhere else, and I like the looks of it too. Ill let everyone know how it fits up. I'm reconsidering on the 16" barrel option... Thanks! Also considering their barrels too. Why? Thanks! Just checked their site and they don't seem to have any barrels in stock. Good to know...

Basic question. I ran into a PSA PA-10 BCG that includes a charging handle that I'd like to use for my build. Is this bcg/ch compatible with any LR308 pattern rifle? Of course the description says nothing about compatibility, wanted to check with you guys just to be sure. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/18612/s/psa-pa10-308-phosphate-bcg-with-charging-handle I have heard the PSA PA-10 is a proprietary rifle where a lot of parts will not work with LR308's. Is this true?

Hi All! first post here.In the midst of building an LR308 that I've been wanting for a long time, so it made sense to join up 308AR to start asking questions. I'm using an Aero precision matched upper/lower receiver and have the lower populated and ready to go. Now i'm shopping around for upper components. I've generally just been opportunistic with purchasing during sales to keep costs low. 1) I'm looking for a threaded 18" barrel and noticed the CMMG can be found for a little over $200. Specs seem decent on it too. Has anyone had first hand experience with the quality of these barrels? http://www.cmmginc.com/product_p/38dcc0a.htm 2) For the handguard, i'm looking at the UTG super slim free float rail. Anyone have experience with this rail? I plan on using a Troy low profile gas block to clear it. http://www.leapers.com/prod_detail.php?mitem=mount&itemno=MTU020SSB
