shibiwan Posted October 17, 2014 Report 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
392heminut Posted October 17, 2014 Report 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.

392heminut Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 Hey Ron.................. :thefinger:
Robocop1051 Posted October 20, 2014 Report 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.
shibiwan Posted October 20, 2014 Report 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
cwikjr Posted November 2, 2014 Report 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...
