ar15 question.

[Hoser]

seems like monopoly pricing to me.

Maybe. But they have always been 3-4 times the price of AR-15 lowers.

Another question... is there something that I'm not aware of as to have a AR10 versus a bolt .308? Is it just the ability to hold 20 rounds versus 5 or whatever? Just a curious question.

I would say having a very similar platform between the AR-15 and the AR-10 would simplify training and practise. Also, the AR-10 is pretty damned accurate (at least the DPMS I shot is).

A lot of it is cool factor too I think....

[BigBear]

Ok, that's what I was thinking, similiar platforms and more ammo holding. I'll stick with my bolt long gun then. HEHE.

When you go and purchase your AAC 762, you won't have to get your rifle threaded, just make sure you have the correct flash suppressor to snap it on to.

Just looked at DPMS's site... man their stuff is expensive. $409 for a stripped 308 lower?

seems like monopoly pricing to me.

Just keep in mind that's MSRP. Street prices are going to be somewhat less. And repeating what's been said, the .308 stuff is always more than .223 stuff.

Really? There is a .40 and .45 and a 10mm AR upper??

The only AR upper chambered in a pistol round that I have heard of was 9mm.

I think Oly makes makes them.

Olympic does 9, 10, .40 and .45
There was another specialty company that at one time was doing
.50 ae
.44 spl
.41 ae
.357 sig
.357 mag

And someone did 7.62 tokarev as a home project. If you can find a barrel chambered for it, and a bolt face to fit it, and some way to cram the magazine inside an AR-15 magwell, it's probably been done

AAC?, No sir, I'm going the Gemtech route. I'll still get the barrell threaded. I just like the look of a bolt long gun. I'll get an Ar15 for the EBR but for long range, I like bolts... just my opinion.

Hmmm, you must spend a lot of time on arf.com then.
