JonEaly Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the ar10 scene and I'm looking to get my first. I've just sold my BCM/Spikes ar15 build and I really wanted to get a sweet ar10(or equivalent). But, as you probably know, I was torn between the choices. The LWRC REPR or the Christensen Arms CA-10, are the ones I really fell in love with. I really like the idea of a lightweight .308 ar with carbon fiber parts, but really loved the side charging handle of the repr. So, I thought I would research a bit and see if I could build one. Here come the problems... First, I'm new to the idea so knowing which parts can go with which, is proving to be a struggle. I'm lost in the sea of options, and lack the knowledge of knowing which parts are compatible, I gathered that most builds need a matched upper and lower set (correct?) and I was considering the set from American Spirit Arms, but alas, I still don't know what can be used with those parts. If someone would be so kind as to offer a solution, I would be incredibly grateful. Would like the overall price (not including optics) to be under 2500, but I can always save up more if need be. I want a long (13-15 inch) carbon fiber hand guard and 16-18 inch barrel, and then a side charging upper. Those are really the only things I really care about, unless there is something else I need to worry over.. ?? Thank you, and really looking forward to being a member here!
unforgiven Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 Welcome from Indiana brother. Just remember that in the .308 platform there aren't the standards like in the smaller 5.56 platform. Mixing parts and systems requires doing your homework so that your rifle will work without issue.
