AR 308 kit questions???

[Bob Schulze]

I just put together an Anderson Manufacturing AM10 complete kit.  I'm  happy with it, smooth machining and shot well (3 round test).  It was not super cheap at about $700+.  (they had a 10% off sale). 

I noticed that Tiger Rock has a complete (less lower) kit available for around $400.  They say it is compatible with DPMS style lowers.  If I can find a  lower in the less than $100 range I could have a very cost effective AR 308, say  $500+?  One question I have, DPMS style is sort of broad. Type l, ll, many manufacturers, etc.  I want a good looking rifle. Tiger Rock is in sort of transition and is working on the details, so does not have a ready answer yet.

I would appreciate some comments from you...your thoughts?

Thank you,

Bob

  DPMS makes two types of 308AR's , the original LR 308 & the Gen II , which has a smaller receiver set & a lot of proprietary components . I don't know of any manufacturer that makes any replacement Receivers for the DPMS Gen II 308AR's . 

  POF makes a small frame 308AR," The Revolution " , all or mostly ,proprietary .

  I would only purchase the same manufacturers Upper & Lower receivers , because of the possibility of tolerance stacking .

 Don't know a thing about Tiger Rock .
