Title: Need advice on an AR 10 please
Post by: criveraville on June 15, 2016, 11:35:30 pm: Hello. My brother is looking to get an AR 10. Here are the specs and comments from the seller. Your input and opinions would be much appreciated. Neither one of us know much about AR type rifles.

"Armalite upper and lower cerakoted in FDE, 20 " ballistic advantage barrel, 15 " Midwest industries handguard, JL billet muzzle break, magpul PRS stock, nikon M series 308 optics, fab defense grip, 10 and 20 round mag, I forget what trigger group I have in this one.

Shoots great, less than 100 rds. Just didn't like it as much as I thought I might. I still prefer my bolt action

I spent about 8 months saving for parts and building it. I have around 2700 in it. But my loss is someone else's gain"

I recognized all of those names except for Midwest as good name brands so there was definitely effort put into it, and hell for the first time in a LONG time I think bulk 308 is cheaper than 7.62 right now so yeah, have fun!

I remember when I bought my 7.62, I could buy 500 rounds for under $50.

I had a Sharps once.An original Montana made one.Had 2800 into it with all the frills.Heck of a gun.
