Tuflehundon Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 New guy from FL. In the process of building an AR10. Buying the rifle from a friend. He had everything except for the barrel, gas block, and gas tube. He had the rifle built in a different caliber, and sold that barrel setup. Now I'm buying it to build a competition / hunting rifle.

jtallen83 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Welcome from Iowa, via Arkansas! Building an AR-10 or a 308 AR? Hate to be picky on nomenclature but make sure you understand the difference before you start buying parts or you will have problems. Do a bunch of searching and reading here and you will find what you need. Edit; Thought I better add, make sure the parts supplier knows the difference as well, many call DPMS pattern parts AR-10 parts causing much grief.

I am building with the help of a friend that works at a local gun manufacturer. He is WAY more knowledgeable that I am. He's basically telling me to give him the specs I want, and he'll get the parts and help me build it. He already has most of the parts I want, just deciding on barrel now.

I looked at them a while back. Was planning to buy from them, but got a really good deal on from a friend. He was getting together parts for a build, had about 60% of the parts, and won decided not to build the rifle since he already had a 308 bolt gun. I picked up the parts from him pretty cheap. Another friend that works at Praestlor Arms is helping me with the rest of the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
