What is the best middle of the road? Decided to go Black!

Armalite

Thanks.

I have a dpms in 308 with an inexpensive scope that makes holes in holes at 100

I bought the dpms lrt ssas. 308. It looked cool. Eh only money. So anyway with the magpul attached sites almost double holes. 3 or so moa. When i get a decent scope. Aw hell im going for 800 plus easily. The weight is an issue. Depends if you have an ultimate purpose in mind. You can always add or subtract weight from an off the shelf. Standing will get heavy quick depending on your size and ability dpms has other styles to shop from. Or as vladtepes will agree. Build one. Gotta go. Cleaning my multiple ar's from a friggin hot day of pounding rounds.

this is from one of the first times shooting the gun on paper...

 

 

 

and this is the gun... I have not even put a good trigger on it yet..

This has been my experience from the several DPMS I've fired. Easily outshot M1As costing twice as much.

I have an Armalite AR10T -2 That is NJ compliant. It has a 20" stainless barrel and a good trigger. It shoots real good. Paid about 1k a couple of years ago...prolly 15 1800 now(haven't really looked but judging from the prices). Anyhow, that being said, Armalite has some new AR10As that now use the standard mags like DPMS and a host of others (see the text below that I captured off the site).

 

The deal with Armalite mags is they are expensive and you have to buy them from Armalite (or a supplier that sells Armalite).

 

I cannot comment on the quality of the DPMS but do know that there are many happy campers out there. At the end of the day, I would expect that either the new Armalite that accepts cheap mags or a DPMS are solid choices.

 

 

 

 

 

ARMALITE’S NEW ADDITION TO THE AR-10® FAMILY ACCEPTS 3RD PARTY MAGS!

 ArmaLite, Inc. is pleased to announce the AR-10A. This new option of the famous AR-10 will accept traditional ArmaLite “waffle” magazines and some 3rd party magazines.

ArmaLite customers asked for a choice, and that’s just what we’ve provided.

The AR-10A family of ArmaLite® firearms is functionally identical to our AR-10B family.  Operation, controls, and maintenance are the same.  However, the AR-10A family is designed to accept early ArmaLite AR-10 “Waffle” magazines and good quality magazines copied from them, instead of ArmaLite’s proprietary steel magazines that are used in our AR-10B family. Neither family of firearms will function correctly with the other family’s magazines.

We have tested, we recommend, and we ship polymer Magpul PMAG® 20LR magazines with our AR-10As.  You can purchase extra PMAG®s from our website, www.armalite.com.

One in the Marketplace...

It is a AR10A too...cheap mags :-)

I listed it today..Need money for some more 1911's

Dave, I had a DPMS and like the others, was a tack driver.  That said, I'd build one which you can do at a good price.

 

Vlad, awesome paint job.  I should send you my m1a to do that to the stock......awesome look

start spraying off the gun then just make a pass over the gun then release your finger.. so you start and stop off the gun this keeps it from puddling up... and the fact that it is flat paint makes it pretty forgiving.. nice THIN light coats till you get it how you want it.. I hang the whole gun so I can work around it in a circle..  I just painted my Saiga 12.. 

Hi Dave, S&W makes a decent one as well. They have a NJ compliant version that I see in NJ FFL's.
