Ar10 build, who has the best prices

**pbmaster2k89** · 10-23-12, 22:22

The threads i have researched seem to have outdated links, prices have jumped for receivers. I was wondering who had the best prices for lower and upper receivers as well as bolt carrier groups for an ar10. I was thinking of buying a complete lmt upper with a complete armalite lower.

I guess i should also ask if armalite ar10s are worth getting

I've never been a big fan of Frankenstein builds. Bad for resale value, and if something goes wrong it can be tough to get some accountability from manufacturers. With AR-15s it isn't so bad. With .308s that don't have as much standardization, it can be more of a headache.

I have an LMT MWS and the gun kicks ass (bias implied). It is my understanding that niether LMT nor other top tier AR10 manufacturers are selling any uppers individually.

I think your best bet is build it or buy a complete gun. Based on this, a complete gun from a reputable mfr will go a long way with regards to warranty and resale value.

So armalites ar10 (complete rifles) are not worth buying?

Rainier sells uppers but they're all out

Get an SP901 and be done with it.

I really enjoy assembling ar15s but building an ar308 is a more hassle. More tools less standard parts.

Why do you want Armalite? Cost?
Keep in mind that everything in the AR308 world is around double the cost of the ar15 world. From receivers to bolts to bullets
