308innj

awesome! all good options. Should I stick with 7.62 or can I run commercial .308? And I was wrong. When I looked at it Wednesday I thought for sure it had a 16 or 18 inch barrel...Turns out it is a 20 inch... Came with the SKB case, 2 pmags and a stock (pinned) dpms mag. I think I did well! Now to get it some food and hit the range.

Hi all - I'm on my way out to pick up my new to me couple of years old DPMS LR-308. It is chambered for 7.62 with 1 : 10 barrel twist (I think). What options do I have as far as ammo on the cheaper end of things? I usually like to stock up on ammo when I find good deals.

I can build one in NJ (just not from an 80%). Building is still an option, but not sure of my skills with the build. Would probably have to invest in a lot of lower parts' springs in case they go shooting across the room and I can't find them. Most companies won't ship "banned" parts to nj, so that kind of limits me. And time is not my friend.

Yup - carry handle comes off, ready for optics...All in (taxes and nics) would be just under a 1000, but supply is limited around here. The best new 308 I can find that is NJ legal is the M&P10 - and the cheapest I can find it for is 1400...Anything else will have the NJ modification tax (buy muzzle brake, throw away flash hider, permanently weld muzzle brake to the threads, pin adjustable buttstock from a gunsmith) which would probably put me in the 1400-1500 range... Eventually I'd love to save up for a real nice LaRue or Barrett, but unfortunately that's not happening right now (nor in the near 20 year future until kids grow up).

not sure. At first I thought it was an oracle, but it doesn't have the rail in front of the handguard, just a fixed sight. It is exactly like the top one here, the LR308. It isn't a GII.

thanks for all the welcomes. They are asking $900.

Hi All. I'm new to this site and forums. I have an AR in 5.55 and started to venture into the 308 world. So I've been shopping around. Was going to go stripped lower and build one, but came across a used one yesterday that I'm going to pick up on Saturday. Are there any DPMS experts around? This is a couple of year old model LR-308. Were there different variations? It looks exactly like the top picture here when looking at the GII lineage. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/01/14/dpms-308-gen-ii/ It was originally sold by this shop to someone who would take it out every once in a while. Looked in great shape. Comes NJ compliant with a pinned muzzle brake and fixed stock, 3 p-mags and a hard plano case. What are your thoughts on value?
