It's my firse time to this Forum, I am here for some experienced help, well hopefully. I have recently came into some money from the sell of a few guns. I sold them because I have been wanting an AR in .308 for sometime now. I have looked at several brands and models. I plan on tricking out an AR with some of the following, but not limited to.

Magpul PRS stock
2-4 lb trigger
20-24" barrel
Must have brass deflector

So thats the most of it. I love the way DPMS has their web sight set up. For those of you that have not been to it. Well you can build up an AR and get pictures and current prices on all kinds of options. Theirs only one thing I dont like about DPMS and thats you have to use their mags.
I also like most of the Armalite Ar-10, but I'd have to put a different stock and probally trigger on it that would take the AR-10T from $2100 to $2500 real quick. If I was to do that, I'd just go to a web sight called
www.ar-10-rifles.com and get one direct off the web sight that they guarentee 1/2 MOA. I think I liked #010 or #011 I don't remember.
Well I hope someone can help me, by giving me some ideas on what to do. I've even considered the DPMS Panther LR-308 upper and a different manf lower that would take L1A1 mags. But I don't know maybe DPMS Mags are great, I just don't know. Any expierenced help would be useful. Also hows recoil on one of these ar-10's can someone give me that in ft/Lbs? Thanks

There are 2 or more diffrent types of lowers, you need to figure out which takes the cheapest mags and go that route. One if i rember corectly takes mags that run about $60 each. If you plan to supppress it i would suggest a 18-20" upper threaded 5/8x24. Uppers are all the same from what i have read so if you want to build then the lower's magwell is the main concern.
