You might want to check out the Springfield M1A SOCOM. It has a flat top receiver with rails so you can mount a scout scope on it along with lots of other goodies. .308 cal. Very accurate right out of the box. Kinda pricey though.

Not an AR-10, but FN-FAL and other weapons that might trip your trigger.

I recommend the Doublestar CAR15 for $654 from http://budsgunshop.com.

It has a gas piston instead of a direct impingement system, which I personally prefer.

I'd give you the direct link, but I am behind a firewall.

Side question - Is anyone making a AR-06 lower? Specifically an AR lower that will handle the length of a 30-06? Ideally, I’d like an AR in .35 Whelen. I assume I can get a custom barrel for the upper. Not so sure about the lower. Can’t seem to find much on the web.

I have owned a DPMS in 7.62 NATO for about three years and it is the finest black gun that I own. It has very little recoil... just a bit more that the 5.56 and very little muzzle rise (maybe 2 inches). It will shoot quarter sized groups at 100 yards without special loads. It likes to run wet and has gobbled up every bit of ammo that I have fed to it. If you want a 7.62 NATO semi... this is the weapon that I recommend.

You can’t go wrong with a Stag. I got one not too long ago at Jo-Jo’s Gun Works in Southington.

Don’t kill the opposition. Wound them and let them suffer.

A dead man is just a dead man.

A wounded man required medics, transport via ambulance and medical staff.

_ Another thing..... Democrats hate and FEAR guns and once wounded are not going to fight. They will only try and get others to do the fighting for them.

The US military won’t stand for that for long. They will desert, retire and join together and support us.

The trouble is that VERY few people in this country have any spine left so none of this is relevant anyway.

Learn to live under a Dictatorship and shut the fuc* up.

The Armalite AR10 more stopping power than the feeble 5.56, thats what the AR stands for. Mine goes bang everytime I pull the trigger, have put many thousands of rounds through it.The AR platform was originally designed by Eugene Stoner for the 308 round.

The Armalite shoots really well, and with the new 25 round mags, it represents a significant defense asset.

You came to the right place. Freepers ALWAYS have the best advice on weaponry. Take it to the bank.

I started as a G3/CETME guy... I’ll suggest a PTR91, cheaper, MUCH cheaper mags and about the same accuracy.

The new VEPRs are another option and now have steel 20 round mags available. They are not quite as accurate, but very reliable.

Disclosure, my favorite .308 is a Galil...

DPMS Baby! Definitely on my shopping list.

Very dependable and can reach out and touch someone accurately.

Also a real nice long distance cordless drill...

I have an AR (5.56) and an FN FAL (.308).

Frankly, I prefer the FAL for function over the AR system. Esepecially the left side charging handle, which is the proper location for a righty.

Move out of CT first. Then buy the gun.

I have an AR-10A4 from Armalite. It's sweet. Magazines are a little on the pricey side, but the factory frequently has sale packs.

Of course, if you want to do long range tack driving, get a barrel longer than 16", but just keep in mind that due to the larger cartridge, the action and barrel of an AR-10 is going to be quite perceptibly heavier than a similar length rifle or carbine in 5.56.

I know a lot of folks don't like direct impingement systems, but I've never had an issue with reliability or fouling, and I shoot a lot of old, cheap NATO spec Portugese surplus ammo.
