So, it is what i had done yesterday after i saw that LaRue jerked up price of their UU 7.62/6.5CM kits up to $1700 area.
I did want to make an AR10 for a while now, so, here it is what it all came up to with the 12% sale discount on primary arms stuff.
Excluding the scope - this one i will have to assess when i`ll get it. It has mixed reviews so far as i can see, so, i will need to compare it with vortex glass to decide.
But i liked the concept of that 6.5 apollo reticle, if it will work well for 140gr 6.5CM loads i have - it will be very neat.
AR10 upper stuff came to a grand total of about $1033, including $200 precision stock kit which was not necessary and bolt, but, that stock kit had a buffer tube kit included.
The stuff is an aero precision M5 DPMS - should be a solid mid-range boomstick. Build is for the 6.5CM 20", with an idea later to buy a same matching aero m5 16" .308 complete upper.
That is compared to roughly $1800 that a without a doubt superior 22" 6.5CM LaRue UU upper kit with their bolt and trigger would cost. In my case i already had the bolt, trigger and grip in the parts bin, so, the diff is $800. Not clear if it was truly worth it, but, will see. Overall i would never raised a hand to take LaRue apart, but this set will be a work on progress and in time i can swap out barrels the way i will want, keeping core build intact.
Aero .308 BCG was from the gunbroker, bought quite a while ago - now it costs $200.
The stuff below in 262.12 order really was not even supposed to be, as i had a spare larue rat stock already, while not a precision one, it would do fine, so, i did not want to buy anything, and i assumed i had a charging handle too -but upon checking i found out that the .308 handle is gone somehow - it is not in the parts bin no more, go figure. parts kit is also not really needed, but, it is a minor stuff.
And a stripped lower.
