You bet TWR, I saw great potential in that young buck so many years ago, for once, I was right.

Gunner - Google up Noveske N6 308 - you'll get some hits.

This will give you an idea what the rifle looks like:

Noveske and Armalite are pretty well in synch on their products, I haven't really looked at how LMT fits in. At least one of the LMT .308 upper offers the ability for the shooter to swap barrel calibers in the .308 cartridge family.

I think the DPMS is all proprietary. Midwest ind makes a key mod tube for it is all I know. So there is the Armalite floor plan and the DPMS floor plan?

Jimmy - if I understand your question, yes, the Armalite lower has a flat angle at the rear of the upper, so that a DMPS upper with the round radius will not close/pin on the Armalite lower.

The Armalite upper is the same length and pin depth of the DPMS upper, and will pin on a DPMS lower, but you have a gap through the lower where the carrier moves.

Here is a piture of the gap:

If you want something with more options check out the Noreen Arms site these rifles are not mix and match but 100% made by Noreen. Having the option of 30-06, 270, and 25-06 is very interesting and they are in some local stores now.

Amazing! any AR15 upper and lower from any vender work fine together! Interesting they have not settled on a common 308 platform.

Preshade it AH, does the lack of a Forward Assist on the Noveske plarform alarm you in any way?

Gunner

Thanks 264, damn, talk about a nightlight, that '06 would lite a dark warehouse at night.

RRA .308 20" with a couple modifications, shoots right along with my bolt .308
Bottom pic is 5 shots at 100yds with the RRA 168gr FGMM.

Nope!

Nice Rock JMAC D, and 10roger on the 'nope' AH.

Gunner

The RRA guns are nice just a tad heavy.

Hey Jimmy, what is it about the Sig you have concern with? different design, or maybe inherent factory bugs that are still present/not worked out?

Just wondering because me Sig pistols run like a greased sewing machine.

Thanks
Gunner

just various posts on M4 carbine and in general about the 516's having a lot of issues. I never had any issues with the sig 220's I owned.

10-4 and Thanks, is the 516 the same base design as the 716?

Gunner

The 516 is the 5.56mm version of the 716; I think it is piston operated, like the 716.

Some Sigs seem to always run very well. Others, they seem to have taken established models and cut corners on them, harming reliability. I like the 716's features for a piston 7.62x51; but I'm not sure pistons really buy you that much. And I don't want another 16" .308

I think I'd look at either the M&P10, or the Colt LE901, which can use 5.56mm uppers. Or rebarrel an Armalite, which is what I did.

Thanks Tex, trying to figure what folks dont like about that design, the small picture my mind generates says a much cleaner firing mechanism/weapon.

Gunner

I think that SIG pistol with the "arm stabilizer" was a 10.5 inch barreled 308...

I bet you would say "yo mamma" every time you lit one off in a room...same as you do when you light them fire crackers off in your ears..

Tex sounds like you don't like 16 inch barreled 308's much either!

Pretty sure the 516 is DI, and the 556 is the piston model. We listed them out on the "Would you trade?" Thread.
