Bring back brn 10
Didn’t mention forward Assist
AR-10/AR-308 Bolt Catch is NOT the same as AR-15. An AR-15 bolt catch will break in an AR-10. AR-10 takedown/pivot pins are longer. Trigger group IS the same, however as stated in the video use full power hammer spring. I like Geissele triggers, they are high end, and use full power springs.
Just want to point out you guys said that Aero Precision upper was “low profile”. This is INCORRECT. Aero Precision M5 308 uppers are HIGH PROFILE. Hope this clears things up for anyone who may have noticed.
When you use acronyms, please define them. Like "DPMS", "TDP"….
i am all about steady trigger pull being part of your accurate shooting. What is considered the best pound pull on the AR 10?
What’s the difference between dpms gen 1 and 2 ?
holy shit where was the director of this film
I think the camera guy keeps knodding off.
After looking around the only 308 semi auto i have a chance to get (afford) is a 308 build. Saving for it now haha that and a light weight build and a long range ar15.
Isn’t the AR308 an AR-10?
Are the handguards the same?
Title should be, Mine is a inch longer than yours! And thicker too!
what is the most accurate semi-auto plateform for the .308 cartridge ?
so can you use a a2 buffer tube buffer and spring on a 308
So, a 308 trigger group should work in an AR 15?
Is the ar10 considered a variant of the m-16?
I thought the original DPMS were Low Pro and later they raised the Flatop and Front Gas Block and made them both high . Just the opposite of what you said? When the DPMS long range 308s came out at Camp Perry, I bought a Low Pro Upper at the DPMS store there.
.308
Regards! The Marlin X7 can be modified to the magazine system ??
What parts would you need to buy?
The big difference is an AR15 is mill-spec and AR10 has no standard and isn't mill-spec.
Why so sour old man?
Useful video.
AR15 vs AR 308 now that actually sounds stupid. If you said AR 15 platforms VS AR 10 platforms, since none of the pieces you show are Armolite there fore not actually AR's but AR platforms and since the AR 10 platform is actually the fore runner of the AR 15 !!!!
Ar 10 part prices vs ar15 part prices are the reason I build ar 15s
When are you going to start carrying the parts so I can build a AR-10? Out of stock is the common status of nearly all receivers.
I cannot believe that people thinks that the .308 & 5.56 AR parts are are alike on the major components.
Forward assist?
