308 is too expensive. I almost bought one a few months ago, but got a handgun and a pile of ar15 lowers instead. My club only goes 100 yds out, no use pulling the trigger at .75 cents a round for that.

A couple of years ago I purchased a DPMS AR-10. Didn't really expect too much from it - but I'll be damned if it isn't a fine, high quality rifle. That SOB will drive tacks at 400 yards with iron sights and 700-900 years with a Leupold.
Nothing in the world wrong with a AR-10 - but a year later, my kids went together and bought me a Springfield M1A. SO…the AR doesn't see a lot of "playing time" these days ![]() |

I’ve decided to build an AR pistol. My Tavor is just too heavy with the attached suppressor.
I’m going as light as possible. I ordered a PSA lower with an enhanced polished trigger, MaGpul grip, and an SB tactical brace. The brace was the main reason I bought it. The brace alone is $140 on Gunbroker. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-...165448150.html I’m needing to find a 10.5” complete upper. I don’t care what the hand guard looks like. I’m throwing this bad boy on it. It doesn’t get much lighter than this. It’s 6.15oz for the 9”. https://brigandarms.com/product/atlas/#reviews |

Now a 7.5” barrel is loud and I have no use for a 7.5” barrel. |

So you have a big bang with a big flash, but you are firing a small bullet with diminished power. But if you are using the longer, 10.5 barrel, it may be a little more effective. I value law enforcement too much to advise them to use this as a tool for doing their job, again, JMHO. Last edited by Tombstone RJ; 07-07-2018 at 09:29 AM.. |

I know several who carry a 10.5” without any issues. You still get solid range out of them and they aren’t loud. It’s what many use when they build SBR’s. |

Back in the Army (80s) I had the opportunity to fire a "port gun" from the Bradleys. Fun as hell to shoot, but ridiculous. I "think" that was the impetus for the AR pistol Obviously they don't fire from the open bolt at 800 rounds a minute - but about the same dimensions. I don't know - to each his own I guess….but I'll stick with my .45 ![]() |

I carried a 1911 .45 for many years of my life (thanks Navy!!) and I loved it (thanks Navy!!). I still prefer it, but my decision to go the 9mm route with my Walther PPX "Navy" (LOL!!!) is 100% based on ammo costs.
But the .45 is simply awesome! |
