BUY THIS THING ALREADY!!! For that optic, it's like getting a free rifle to go WITH it! Call in sick tomorrow, brother... for fuks sake. I'll bet it's not there anymore. The 10T was the "Target model." It won't fuk you over. MSRP on the damn scope is $1,399~$1,599, depending on what reticle it's got...

I fought the shiit out of the crooked, totally corrupt Maricopa County DCS, for my grand daughter - and those crooked, corrupt fuks gave her to the millionaire bullshiit people that were trying to adopt her. Money won. The judge tried to do the right thing, when I got involved, but I guess the money got to him eventually, too. I'm glad to see people winning against the system, even though I couldn't beat the corruption here. You've done well, Cliff. Any you, Larry.

Check these guys for barrels. You might need to call on the phone and see what's available. https://www.fulton-armory.com/far-308-barrels.aspx You'll need a "DPMS High Profile" handguard. Make sure you buy the barrel nut with it, it it doesn't state that it comes with the barrel nut.

Yes, it's new, it's surplus... Nobody but the military ammo manufacturers seals primers.

I found the information in a few minutes, just from the Stag website. It's DPMS High profile, and threaded for DPMS barrel nuts. Says it right in this parts description: https://www.stagarms.com/stag-10/stag-10-uppers/right-hand-stag-10-uppers/stag-10-stripped-upper-receiver/

10.5" isn't stupid and crazy. I have a 12.5" and 13.5". You have the Stag upper, too? So, Stag upper and lower? Do whatever you want, just keep it the same pattern. My 13.5" is all DPMS-based Aero M5 receivers, handguard, but completely Armalite AR-10 guts (recoil system, BCG, barrel). Runs like a champ. What's the rail height and barrel-nut thread pattern for that Stag upper? It's either Armalite, or it's DPMS High, or it's DPMS Low. We need that much info from you to make recommendations.
-
Not an AR-10. Only Armalite makes those, and it's a different pattern from what you have. Insisting that it's "an AR-10" only clouds the discusssion with inaccurate information - that will net you answers that don't pertain to the actual platform that you have. What you have is a ".308 AR"... Clearly listed in the Midway title for this part, it states "LR-308" - which is a DPMS pattern. But, it's not made by DPMS, it's just on the DPMS LR-308 pattern... Not trying to bust your balls - but the terminology really does matter.

There's no "debate" to get into. I have a bunch of 6.5mm guns, and so do others here. Don't know what kind of a fight you'd thought that you were gonna get, but it won't be a fight here. Lighten Up, Francis. In your shoes, I'd be contacting Midway, and asking if they're aware of this, if they've had any other reports of something like this - then going straight to the manufacturer of this upper - AR Stoner - and asking the same questions...

Lasers are only "aiming aids" and not sights, if you're using them for varying distances. For anything further out, they're only used for target ID (pointing out targets for others around you). Definitely not as a sight, that you can count on for hitting a target from your rifle. If you only shoot at a target at a given distance, then you can zero the laser for that distance. Otherwise, you'll need to know the holdovers for it for varying distances. Just like knowing the holdovers for the reticle in your scope.

Call my guy here - Jason will answer the phone. Last I heard, he had a bunch of Bergers in stock. He ships all over the country, but he shut the website down because they're getting crushed. Call, brother. https://www.brunoshooters.com/ I used to work 1/4 mile away, and get off work at 3:30pm everyday. I'd swing by there everyday, before heading home. Now that I'm working further away from him, I can only get there when I have a Saturday off, and that's rare. JBMatt is in the area, and doesn't live far, so I have JBMatt swing in there, and report anything interesting when it's in stock. I live vicariously through him now...

Anything in the DPMS High Profile will work, if you're looking on the interwebz.

For 5.56 heavies, .308 Win heavies, plus .308 Win 150gr FMJ-BTs, I use Alliant RL-15, and it's spectacular. RL-15 and Hodgdon Varget are almost identically interchangeable, for 5.56 and .308 Win load data, too. Damn near identical twins. For my .308 Win 178gr ELD-X load that I came up with, I used Accurate 2495. I won't use anything else for that load. As a general rule, if it works with 5.56 heavies, it works with .308 Win heavies, too. For 5.56 55gr range loads, I just use H-335. As far as Alliant powders go, they're excellent. The others I use are RL-7 for the 25-45, and RL-22 for the .260 Rem, .300 Win Mag, and .338 Lapua Mag loads. I don't use it, but RL-17 is supposed to be the SHEEIIITTT for .260 Rem and 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm not changing my .260 Rem load for anything, though. No way, no how.

Aero Precision w/20" Krieger failure to feed using DPMS magazine
98Z5V replied to Drew Eckhardt's topic in Member Builds
Nothing wrong with the recoil system that you ended up with - but I'd save that for another build. I'd scrap the whole recoil system, total, and just put the Armalite AR-10 Carbine Recoil system in. Completely. This one: https://www.armalite.com/SACItem.aspx?Item=AR10REKIT01&ReturnURL=/Armalite/Product-Category/AR10-Parts-Accessories/Lower-Receiver-Parts&Category=ac614400-ff09-4cdf-9d35-419a654e7201 You spent the money on the Krieger M110 barrel. Use the recoil system that the M110 uses, when it has a collapsible stock. -
Verifying I'm on the right path - gas port dia.

Good work, man - very glad to hear that. -
This doesn't have anything to do with an Armalite AR-10, in the least, and shouldn't even be in this section. Mods, please move this to the Builders section, or something comparable.

That depends on how fast I get my ass to Cali and check out load development... We're working on that now...

That was a Grand Canyon trip, brother...

There's that MATH thing that you youngin's suck at. And just shows that you're talking shiit without looking at information. Let that Bulldog Mouth run that Canary Ass... Infants that were born when I retired won't be eligible to enlist until 2025. But, you know better. Just had to address that ONE LAST BULLSHIIT STATEMENT from you. Have fun in life - I hope you learn alot. Because you got ALOT to learn... EXPERIENCE is what makes us older fuckers WAY BETTER than you young fuckers. You don't want to make that "mistake in life" too many times... I color-coded that, so you could keep up. Just match the colors, for the responses. Have a good one, know-it-all.
-
I'm done. You're a fucking idiot. You've proven it, over and over again. Some young shiithead with a chip on his shoulder about being an RTO, but he thinks he knows everything about SOF. Have a good one.
-
Here's you... and what you know on the topic at hand - the ORIGINAL topic...
-
They said the same shiit in 1998, when we were kicking people out over "tattoo inspections" - for tattoos that they thought were "white supremacy" tattoos. Only, back then, the term was "skindheads" and "Nazi" tattoos. There were actually "tattoo inspections" where Soldiers had to go in, strip down, and "be inspected." This isn't a new game, youngin'. It's politics. You just didn't see it last time around. How old were you in 1998?
-
ALL you're doing is posting "feelings..." How's that for "data..."
-
Which is saying - you don't know shiit about it. You know nothing about SOF, besides what you SAW. Zero experience, though, inside any one of those units. Zero. So sit down, take a breath - and look at the article again - from an OUTSIDER'S perspective of the article's author - because that's exactly what you are. You are an outsider in ANY kind of SOF discussion. Period. Hey I get it - you're a badass. If you really - REALLY - have something to say about this topic, then go to the source, and say it. Go sign up on SOFREP, get into this article, and make your comments over there to John Black. Let him know how you feel about the information of his that I presented. Go get 'em. Get info SOFREP and really tell them how you feel about this topic... Here's the direct link to it: https://sofrep.com/news/socom-gives-way-to-political-pressures-again/?utm_source=SOFREP - Highly Engaged&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Did SOCOM Hire a Woke Commissar%3F (TMR3Eg)&_ke=eyJrbF9jb21wYW55X2lkIjogIkhWUzNDYSIsICJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJyZ3JoYXJ0bGV5QGhvdG1haWwuY29tIn0%3D

So, you don't know SHIIT about SOF, is what you're saying. Never served in a SOF unit. I have. I had an M4A1 since 1995. I guess, you don't know what the M4A1 is - since it was never issues to you, or anyone around you. Since you're quoting the M16A3 now... You're a joke.
