DustinIL Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I know of MA-TEN, but not much about them. Would this be considered a good/fair price?http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1MegaMTS4400SRifle&name=Mega+Arms+MA-TEN+.308+Monolithic+Receiver+Set&groupid=11$982 with free shipping in the mainland.And for $592 + free s/h in the lower 48: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Before you make a decision, I would definitely go down to the For Sale section, and look at the MA-TEN Group Buy thread. Get that price first, before you decide on this set right here. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustinIL Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I guess I should have mentioned I wasn't looking to buy, just wondering if this was a fair price outside of the group deal that is going on. I actually made this thread because it reminded me of the MA-TEN group buy thread. Any .308 buying is on hold for awhile with me getting the POF.....and expecting my first kid in May, so most if not all OT and spare cash is going towards preparing for my youngin's arrival :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 What's listed is a good price. Not the best, but good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgun Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 This has been discussed before. There are definite functional advantages to the monolithic uppers, no problems with rail alignment between upper and handguard, no chance of the handguard rotating, greater freedom for optics mounting without worrying about bridging two separate components with scope rings. On the other hand, if you see your guns as a combination of components that you might want to switch from one gun to the other, the separate handguard allows greater freedom, besides allowing you to change handguard type or length to complement barrel length or rifle configuration changes. I also think that at the price you have listed, you could buy a matched MA TEN upper/lower set and add the handguard of your choice, railed or otherwise, for less money. Another thing to consider is weight, I don't know what the Mega mono setup weighs but some of the other ones on the market are substantially heavier than separate components. I guess you just have to be clear on what your needs are. I'm sure that the Mega mono setup is top of the line, just like their other receiver sets. By the way, good call on prioritizing the new baby, congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
338FedAR10 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 From that same site you can get the set for $525 with one of there coupon codes. Though i don't know there policy about spreading that code around off the site where i got it. A little googling or "other posting methods" might work.
