scbackpacker Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I have wanted 308 cal. battle rifle for a long time. Ive narrowed it down to a PTR91 or an AR10. I have been looking at,the Palmetto AR10 but with all the problem they have been having started looking at Aero M5 for a building platform. When I start this project I will have a lot of questions for y'all. New member from the state of South Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Welcome. I recommend that you go with AP ( no affiliation) because of the PSA issues with compatability. Also, to avoid confusion, only Armalite is AR10, everything else is a 308ar. The more read about parts you'll see why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To edgecrusher's point, the semantics of AR10 vs. 308 AR is important when you're trying to set up your build. There are two primary or somewhat standard versions, DPMS/SR-25 type and Armalite which is the AR10. There are other outlying brands with proprietary formats, but aftermarket parts for those brands either rare, custom made, or nonexistent. Armalite and DPMS both make 308 ARs, but only Armalite makes an AR10. Knowing the difference will save you a lot of trouble, trust me.

scbackpacker Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks. I didn't realize that AR10 was Armalite only. My mistake. So I'm interested in building a 308ar.
