shibiwan Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) there's this toohttp://www.cdnnsports.com/email-specials/dpms-lr308t-308-optic-ready.html#.VEFn7st0xOQ $799 for a DPMS complete rifle I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. The upper is a slickside (no deflector, no ejection port cover, and some may add that there's no F/A) upper with the target profile rail - that makes is incompatible with almost every railed handguard out there. Not a good starting point. Edited October 17, 2014 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Mine is that same slickside upper and the lack of a dust cover and shell deflector has not been a problem at all. The rail IS taller than any forearm on the market, but if all your going to run is optics that's really a non-issue too. As for the lack of a forward assist, those things are worthless IMO. I put a plug in my 300 BLK upper and will do the same with every build from now on. I'm not wasting any money on them any more, in the 30+ years I've been shooting these rifles a forward assist has NEVER solved any problem and has actually created a couple for me.

Robocop1051 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 There have been some really nice [AR15] receivers popping up, that don't have the FA or dust cover. V7 Weapon Sys has one I was eye balling last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 The FA/dust cover are minor issues. The odd rail height is perhaps the biggest issues. Then again maybe I should be making free float handguards for the odd DPMS "T" receiver. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwikjr Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I have around $1055 into my build with the 80% lower jig... I acquired my parts from Midway,JSE Surplus,DPMS,Quentin Defense & Alex Pro Firearms... I watched Midway for clearance items for the LR-308 and DPMS has some of there parts on sale also for Gen 1 LR-308 rifles... Took a few months to gather everything I needed but I saved myself a couple hundred bux... APF assembled my upper for $25 when I bought the rail from them...
