JAustin316 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hello, New to the forum after getting into bolt guns and wanting something semi with a little more reach than my AR15. After looking what’s out there decided to join here and read up a little before building/buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Welcome from Texas. There are several members from CA that may be able to help you to make a California-legal rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mainly debating spending the $3000 for a LaRue or similar or piecing something off a used DPMS GII that’s F4 inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Avoid the DPMS GII if you can - it's cool, at almost-AR15 sized, but there's a shiit-ton of proprietary parts in there, and the aftermarket doesn't support that 100%. On the other hand - there's no way in the world that you'd be disappointed with that LaRue, and you wouldn't have to change a single thing on it. Welcome aboard...

Expand Which is what I’m as thinking... but a used one is stupid cheap and a nice Rainier Ultra Match barrel is only like $500ish and with extra triggers and stocks and handguards I think making one nice would still be 1/2 the price of the LaRue giving me more $$ for glass. But if I’m still wrong please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAustin316 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Also thanks for the welcome guys. I’m comfortable building the 556 platform and making them CA compliant, I just know everything here isn’t plug and play with the 556.

DNP Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 If you decide to build, I would avoid the GII as 98 said. Pick a standard DPMS or Armalite based platform and run with it. Post up with what you’re thinking. PSA has been hit and miss, Aero seems to be pretty popular without too many complaints. Tons of others out there. If you watch for deals, you could probably meet you goal of 1500 with a decent rifle and have room for some nice glass. Keep Primary Arms in mind for the glass. They have some nice models at reasonable prices depending on what you’re after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking that if I can get similar performance in a smaller package then I’d shoot for it. Have you heard anything about the Nordic Nc10s? Did they just come and go?

Expand Nordic Components is a very good company. They don't even list the NC-10 on their own website anymore, as far as I could see. Looks like they dropped it. You're looking for OLL stuff. That's gonna be tough, based on your legislators. They add everything that they can find to the list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m almost leaning towards the LaRue rifle kit and doing the lower from an 80% or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
