    Get the ranger plates instead, they're better.

    Because those only fit PMAGs. You want normal ranger plates, not ones for PMAGS

    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.

    Here's one option. Not a yank name brand, but good luck finding anything made in the US at moment.

    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.
