tjr64 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 First AR is on the way to FFL. Decided with the political environment that the time could be approaching for a "now or never" purchase so I bit the bullet (no pun intended) and purchased a DPMS 308 Recon.Looking forward to the tedious break-in procedure as outlined in the manual :-)Any comments regarding my new Recon welcome especially if it has the ability to use 7.62 ammo. I have friend that will give me some Federal Match Grade 7.62 (175) for me to use until I can find some .308. I've read tons of threads and it seems to come to headspace but I haven't seen anyone with this particular rifle. But finding that appears to be a challenge upon itself :-( Thanks and look forward to learning a lot out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Welcome to the site! Seeing as it's a complete rifle, headspace should be ok, but if you can get it checked it's never a bad idea. Your rifle should be just fine shooting 7.62 ammo, or .308.
