Yeah that's what I thought.
Those RSA QD attachments haven't even been released in the US.
Supposed to be available March so hopefully they'll be out very soon.

Yeah probably fine
Get the ranger plates instead, they're better.
yeah just realized how to hell is that gunna work as the mags seated right up in the mag well ,that why it looked so wrong
Because those only fit PMAGs. You want normal ranger plates, not ones for PMAGSQuote:

FWIW we do a pack of 3 genuine ranger plates for $NZ39.90. It may actually be cheaper to buy right here in NZ the genuine item - not PTS. Im guessing that these are probably not even genine PTS.
is there anywhere in NZ I can get a plain jayne upper?
black to match would be ideal
Looking In my draw of pieces I basically have everything else that I need to assemble an upper, so really why not?

Hi All,
Im in the market for an AR. 308. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can purchase one from. Is it cheaper to get from overseas? If so what websites? I realise alot of the suppliers are on back order. Do Brownells only sell parts and not complete setups? I have been looking at the DPMS Lite Hunter. Any Good?
Brownells sells DPMS uppers, when they are in stock. Last time I looked they had bare uppers with forward assist and dust cover in stock for $125 (no barrel). You have to spend serious money to get a top tier AR10 type rifle (KAC, LMT, La Rue, Colt etc). From what I have read the factory DPMS LR guns seem to have a better reputation than the AR15's they make. Probably because most people buy them cuz they're cheaper and don't shoot them hard enough to fail. The RRA ones seem to be decent, getting spare mags might be problematic though. And RRA make heavy ass guns too. The Remington R25's are rebadged DPMS LR308's. I've had a burn on one, massive gun, nice to shoot though.
i did look at what digit had, but yea out of stock and grey, not black like my lower.
Rock river make a really nice AR10, you could try putting your money there. Dont get me started on "top tier" and all that bullshit. Rock river uses its own unique reciever thread and barrel nut so changing out your handguard isnt like changing out an AR15 one, you will have to hunt around for one made for a Lar-8. DPMS is becoming the accepted pattern for what makes an AR10 though, so keep in mind that you cant just swap parts around from one brand of AR10 to another like an AR15. Alot of stuff will swap out but you have to be careful.
The Lar-8 has the best bolt release in the business, if the AR15 was going to be revamped it would incorporate this design. The Lar's also use both metric and inch FAL mags which you will find more of over here than AR10 pattern mags thanks in part to the number of SLR's in circulation.
Yes they are quite a heavy piece of gear, even the carbines weigh in on the chunky side but they are a pleasure to shoot. The weight seems to be in the thickness of the revievers and the bolt is farking insanely heavy! The two stage trigger isnt bad although it isnt good either, but thats just my opinion.
Bet they ain't cheap either....

RRA had to start making their own mags for the LAR -8, cuz most of the FAL/SLR mags floating around wouldn't work with the rifle.
That was early on in the peace beavis. That issue seems to have been resolved if you take everything you read in yank forums as gospel. Ive tried 15-20 different metric and inch mags from used to abused to wont function in an SLR and still havnt had a malfunction from the Lar, but thats just my experience. Some other guys i know with various versions of the same gun seem to like theirs also and havnt had any troubles either. Ive seen more than a few AR15's having trouble in the past. Interesting to note though, i obtained some polymer Lar mags from a friend brand new and there was a note in the bag saying something along the lines of "due to ever changing design techniques you may have to file off this piece here and here so mag will work in your rifle blah blah blah..." Well the mags wont fit in the rifle without running a file over them so i guess its just easier to stick with the old fashioned steel FAL jobbys that are floating around.Quote:

I haven't followed the issue in a while. I believe Armalite makes some AR10's that run off of M14 mags. Seen them advertised here around the $2200 mark. CMMG also make lowers that run off G3 mags, for DPMS uppers.
can you import AR magazines on an import permit ? is there a restriction on what you can order or import permits or basically put it down and hope it gets approved ?
I herd there are some DPMS 308 oracles about 2-3 weeks away
If you mean AR15 mags, good luck actually finding some in the USA! :DQuote:

The factory steel mag (FN FAL pattern) that came with my LAR-8 would consistanly double feed rounds. Importer gave me another try and same thing happened. Used an SLR mag and problem solved. Also swapped a SLR follower into the factory mag and this also fixed the problem.Quote:

Roger and Roger. I saw that in my book no warrantee if using reman ammo so thought Id check. Cheers.. Not that Id be able to get said awarantee any how Id say but
do not want to damage anything..
I think thats just to cover dumasses overloading their handloads then trying to claim when it goes bang
I have two quick release mounts on scopes One is Burriss AR 332 QR the other VX3 4.5 x 14 or something . Both on my AR.Me and 30calterry put the VX high mount off my AR on his new Rem700R to check we were gonna keep it ha ha max turns adjustment off one piece mount cos straight off my AR and we got groups that said keep this gun . So then put it back on my AR tonight and three people shot a 40 mm disc at 100 mtrs three times each and so after that THIS says man there are some accurate ARs out there and I have one of them 12mm plate hit from 100 mtrs exactly in the same hole drilled a hole right through and that was the 12 year old he he PS three shots at 100 with this AR = 2 holes no matter what you do. Then we walked down mates farm and had around 50 ducks fly a couple mtrs above us to go in his pond. Life is in order to night.
Thought these things were spos to be utterly reliable, since venturing into these threads all seem to read about its bits not fitting or being "crap" gas problems feed problems etc etc etc.
So are military style semis actually as reliable as an axe or a temperamental bitch, serious question.
