[arcangel]

Its been a while since we have had a gun porn thread so lets see those 308 AR's. Whatcha got?

DPMS LR308 AP4
Magpul UBR stock
Magpul MIAD grips
Magpul Angled fore grip
Troy front/rear BUIS
Troy 13.8 battle rail free float
Troy rail covers
La Rue SPR-S +20 MOA QD scope mount
Leupold MK4 LR/T 3.5x10x40mm front focal scope
La Rue QD bi-pod mount
Harris 9-13 swivel bi-pod
Badger Ordnance tac charging handle
Enidine hydrolic buffer


I love this little tack driving rifle and it loves Hornady 168gr BTHP match bullets. I like to take it to the gun shops, most people in the stores gotta get their drool on. People also say that there is no way that they can afford something like this, even the owner of the store lol. Makes me feel pretty good. I've shot it with a few friends that I trust and they are either scared of it or love it. So lets see some rifles.

If I could afford one, it's what i would buy. What does it feel like when you shoot it? I have a Savage 110 fp, its weight is close to 11 lbs and it still kicks like a mule.

Not all that bad with the Enidine hydrolic buffer in there. Sum bitch weighs a ton though, I think its at about 14lbs something like that. A friend of mine has a Savage 110fp as well. I thought the recoil was mild. Then again I learned to shoot with a Mosin M44, and Yugo sks. I like the clover groups this rifle produces at 100y.

DPMS LR-308T with Trijicon and YHM Phantom.

Thats a sweet rifle, I wish Michigan allowed us to have a can. Does it hush it down pretty good?

Taking the liberty to reply on this topic, any good suppressor will make a .308 rifle shooting standard super sonic ammo sound like a .22 LR shooting High Velocity ammo. The boom is all gone, just the "crack" sound in of a .2 LR HV round in its place.

Wish I had one. Nice piece.

Perception is altered by where you shoot the weapon and even where you're standing. A steel roof on a firing line reflects the sonic wake back at you and it cracks pretty good when I've shot a buddy's AAC on an FAL. I myself have a .223 suppressor and I would describe it the same way. It is quiter if you shoot it in a field vs. under the roof of a range.

Armalite AR 10T 20" barrel



DPMS 308 24" barrel

Not a lot of difference between them as far a accuracy goes

They do...sort of. It's still a grey area after all these years.

[Solidus-snake]

That Armalite looks SWEET in the green.

You were there when we shot it in PA last year, weren't you. We used supersonic ammo for that, and it did seem quieter than a hv .22. Actually the ballistic crack from suppressed 5.56 with supersonic ammo (same can on a Sig 556) seemed way louder than .308.

I tried it with subsonic ammo a couple of weeks before leaving for Afghanistan again. I fired it at an indoor range and it was almost "Hollywood quiet." Since it didn't cycle the action, all you heard was the click from the trigger mechanism and the thud of bullet impact. Way quieter than a .22 (except for the impact). I fired 180gr Hornady and 200gr Lapua. The Hornady seemed to group tighter. I don't know if the 180gr stabilizes better in my barrel, but there was no evidence of keyholing from either round at 25yd.

It's getting a Timney 3lb trigger when I get home.

[NewbieAKguy]

Would post if I could. Still shopping around for one. At the moment I'm looking into Sig's 517, Bushmaster's (aka DPMS) new MOE mid-length model, and CMMG's new complete .308s (even though only one model is out AFAIK, from checking gunbroker...nothing on their website yet).

At the moment I'm narrowing my search to rifles that take Pmags....cuz I scored a few on super good sale .

You'll like the Timney, i put one in my DPMS and that's the reason i can shoot it as well as the Armalite, the stock trigger on the DPMS was the worst i've ever experienced in an AR type rifle.

Planning to put one in my Bushmaster .223 too (also waiting on a Form 1 to SBR it). Going to put a 10.5" Noveske Switchblock upper on that one. For optics, going with an EoTech (and will move the 3x magnifier on flip-to-side mount currently on my Sig 556 back and forth between it and the Bushmaster). Also going to put a YHM QD flash suppressor on the Noveske upper, so I can use the YHM Phantom 7.62 on the DPMS, the Sig, and the Bushmaster.

DPMS 20" .308LR... YHM quad rail free float tube, removable carry handle, SWAN carry handle scope mount. Looking closely at the rail, I have a rail cover on the bottom rail then a single rail piece on the left side for my thumb, and then on the right (not shown) I have a 3 piece rail cover for my other fingers... I'd more than likely h ave used full rail covers all around, but these were just scrap left over pieces.

JLD PTR91 - Hk G3 clone... 18" Squad Weapon, factory 3 rail fore arm. Railed (see through) scope mount. Larue quck release bi-pod mount (so I can move the Harris Swivel Bipod between the two .308's). Also have (not shown, a 50 round .308 drum)

DMPS mags... not so cheap, but they're all steel.

G3 Mags - plentiful, cheap, aluminum (waffled ones). Although, I do have some nib German steel mags that have some kind of black "crinkle" paint on them.

I bought my DPMS .308 the year they were released for $819 OTD at Knob Creek. Was never crazy about the lack of dust cover over the ejection port, and my original upper was an 18" bull barrel (also not crazy about not having BUIS).. so I sold the upper about a year ago for $800 bucks and then spent about $900 for the new railed upper from DPMS. No joke, it took me about 10 months though to get it from DPMS once I placed the order.... but for a $100 upgrade, I think I did pretty well.



Given the choice between the two if I could only pick one... it'd be the PTR91... it shoots smoother, more accuracte (not by much) and mainly because the DPMS is sooooo freakin' heavy! However, I'm still waiting for Beta-C Mag Company to come out with a feed tower adapter for the DPMS/SR25 for a 100 round drum.

ARC,

Can you really tell a difference with your Enendine Hydraulich Buffer? When I bought my NFA M16, it came with one using a Magpul stock... bit it had a hard time cycling on FA. So, I swapped it out with a an H2 heavy buffer from another rifle... even then, using the hydraulich buffer in a other AR's... I was never that impressed with it.

Shooting with or without it compared to different H1 and H2 buffers... I couldn't tell that I got any more cycling reliability regardless of barrel length... anywhere from 7" pistol barrels to full size 20" rifle barrels. To each their own, hope it works well in yours... but for me, seemed like a waste of money?
