the hunter G2 with fiber float tube, fixed stock, 20 inch SS Teflon coated barrel is 7.7 pounds, they just released the 16 inch hunter in May I don't know how much it weights. I am between the devil and the deep blue sea, 16 inch barrel and adjustable stock (hate barrel length like adjustable) or 20 inch barrel and fixed stock ($70 or more for "fix" to adjustable stock)! ^^^This^^^ I'm torn between which of these two models I want. I haven't got to see the 16" Hunter Model yet. My LGS has been trying to order one with no luck yet. I've been wanting a AR in .308 ever since I ordered the Suppressor for my .300 ACC Blackout, since I can use one Supressor for both rifles.

Fixed stock maybe, and barrel cut to 18" sounds pretty good to me, I tend to favor the fixed stocks over the adjustable for the extra protection it affords the recoil spring and buffer tube, bend that little bustard in a scuffle and you got yourself a nice club.

Yes, I have the 20 inch hunter on order, traded my MP10 for it, I was having last minute angst as I prefer a shorter LOP than 13 inches in a black gun. ON the other hand, a 16 inch tube would be a pain in the ear for the guns intended purpose. I figure I will try it and see and if the LOP does not suit me then just order the parts to convert.

I think you will like the MOE rifle stock with a 20" barrel. It balances nicely and LOP is same as a collapsible stock when out 2 or 3 positions. I am 6'5" so the extended buttpad was even a nice addition for me.

Just returned from the LGS after checking out 308 AR's. They had an offering from Windham, DPMS (NOT the G2) and the S&W MP10. The latter was quite nice. Fit and finish looked great. Bolt and carrier felt smooth. The Windham and DPMS guns were cheaper and not just in price. The carriers felt like they had sand in them. The safety on the DPMS took both hands to disengage. Looks like it comes down to the Ruger 762 or the M&P10 if you can't spring for a SCAR or a Larue.

Don't know what DPMS you had safety problems with but my DPMS 338 federal just takes a flick of the thumb like all ar15's.

The G2 Recon I looked at was very well made, the upper lower fit was not as tight as the MP10, but there was nothing that jumped out at me.

Great thread. I am a total newbie to the AR platform but have recently become interested in AR-10. A friend will be stocking these in his store from a local builder. Do the specs look ok for the build price? Hopefully they will have one in a week or so so I can handle it. http://mcduffeearms.com/wp/product/firearms/rifles/mlr-308-broadsword/

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? The Armalite has 2 floor plans it's self. The A and the B. The A is the original plan and the B is the plan that allows you to convert M-14 magazines to be used in a Stoner design. Armalite as a company went to the B plan in 1994 with the assault weapons ban. It's my understanding they have discontinued the B and have gone back to the A. I'm not sure if the A plan and the DPMS plan can use the same magazine but I believe it can. It's my understanding the A plan can use the Promag magazines. I'm sure someone will jump in and answer that question if I'm wrong. kwg
