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.

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?

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?

[Beavis]

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.

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.

i did look at what digit had, but yea out of stock and grey, not black like my lower.

[turner nz]

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.

To get one you will be looking at about $2500 if you are really lucky or anything out to $4000 if you are really unlucky.
