I plan on building my AR-10 out of a forging, which is only an 80% complete receiver. I will have to mill/drill a few holes in the lower using a template and a press.

My upper will probably have an 18-20" DPMS fluted bull and a nice floating quad rail with Harris Bipod. I will probably go Chip McCormick or Timney for the trigger and Magpul on the buttstock.

Looking at around 16-1800. I am still debating if I should just buy a DPMS SASS and replace the trigger.........But that wouldn't be as much fun.

The best part: NO PAPERWORK.
I've got a friend who is helping me with this .308 build. He's put together a lot of .223/5.56 versions and knows what he's doing. He's also built one based on the new 6.62 cartridge which I've fired, very nice!

He told me he's pieced together a DPMS .308 for aproximately $1350.

I'm debating on whether to go this rout or a much nicer/more expensive .308 from a manufacturer like LaRue.
