[S&W and AERO M-5] Buy an AERO M-5 upper and lower and their BCG. Then you can put what you want on it and be happy sooner than later
This is great advise. The Aero M5 is a great product. If you go Aero make sure you buy their take down and pivot pins and their bolt catch, these are Aero specific. Almost everything else is AR15 parts.

This thread was not starte to argue about nomenclature or the name of this sub forum. If you don't like it take it up with the Mods or administrator. It's a generic name. Ar15 also stands for Armlite... I don't think anyone is getting sued any time soon.

Well I finally got a chance to take my new Ruger SR 762 out as well as my kit AR 15 and my Arsenal AK47. The .308 is just a boss round. I was shooting 168gr HPBT. The rifle jammed after the 1st 7 or 8 rounds. Then again a few rounds later. I turned up the piston pressure setting from 2 to 3 and it was flawless the rest of the afternoon. Compared to an AR15 you definitely know you have been shooting after awhile. I had a great time. Just used the iron sights..I was not there to zero and sight them in. Just get used to them. I did the same with my new Arsenal. The AR15 kit gun shoots exceptionally well. It has a SPARC II red dot and is zeroed at 100 yards.
That's funny right there. To deflect attention, I just went and cut the tags off my mattress . . .

If the recoil is bothersome, you might want to get a flash suppressor similar to what the M&P10 has with some muzzle brake qualities to it or go with a pure muzzle brake. I have one on my bolt rifle and it made a huge difference but the bolt gun doesn't use any of the gasses to work the action like a semi-auto does, so it has a bit more kick to it.
So, you don't respect trademark law. What about patents, is that silly, too? Copyrighting give you a problem?

Mods can you please delete this Gamecock troll.. His posts have absolutely nothing to do with this thread.

For [expletive deleted] sake, will you two get a room and leave the rest of us alone? This has nothing to do with what mbliss57 was posting about.

When I went looking for an AR style .308, to accompany my M-1A SOCOM, I selected Windham Weaponry's R16SFST model. It had great reviews (and not just from gun rag shills). Now GTG with 12 loaded magazines.

Knights Armament SR-25 in its various configurations is probably the best available 7.62 AR-10 configuration rifle if somewhat pricey. Larue and LMT are also well liked but not as pricey as the SR-25. There is not much to choose from the rest.

I had the same issues with mine and cranked it up to the 3rd notch using the same ammo. It "seems" to be getting better with time and more reliable in the second setting. However, it still doesn't like the lighter grain (147) ammo and I have to stay on the 3rd setting with those. I'm hoping with time and more shooting it will quit being finicky with any ammo. It IS a great shooter when it's working right.
I also have a Colt 901, CRL-20 and an S&W AR-10, have had zero issues with any of them shooting anything.
You're also right about definitely knowing you've been shooting something with any of them in 308.

Actually the AR-10 is indeed mil spec. Just not US mil spec. The AR-10 was produced in Holland for the Portugese and Sudanese militaries to some standard.
Hey guys was looking hard at m&p10 so I jumped on here reading threads. When come across this one I looked up areo and man they have some good looking parts anyway anyone got any info on their complete upper and complete lower. And how it compares to m&p10.
I have a bushmaster ORC 308 . It is on the DPMS pattern and parts are interchangeable . It weighs 71/2 pounds has a 18 inch medium weight barrel. It has been flawless in shooting it! And cost about 1200 out the door .

I did a ton of research and for the amount I was wanting to spend the M&P 10 fit the bill best. Plus for me the other deciding factor was the fact I had purchased an M&P 15 which I'm really happy with. So figured another M&P would not hurt!

Since M1A's have been mentioned, what about FALs or G3 clones?
I prefer the DPMS SASS. Accuracy and function surpassed the SR-25 I used to shoot. I saw know benefit in SR 25, the Ruger is a ruger- I do not care for their rifles other than 10-22's. I have used DPMS shortyly after they came into being in 1985 and have been impressed with, accuracy, function, longevity, that said I could not bring myself to buy a S&W or Armalite when it came time to pull the trigger. I have since shot both SW and Arm. and the function and feel was excellent, I did not test accuracy beyond 500 in SW & Arm so I can not comment. The SASS will take you take you to 1000 yds and beyond. All 3 are great, I would go SASS since it has what I would do right from the factory, saves me build time which allows for more shooting time. Be Safe,
