my dad is looking to buy an AR type rifle in 308. what's the most reliable kind out there? he shot a RockRiver and liked it but it hung up after a few shots so i think it may be marked off of the list.... thanks- med |

Rock rivers are good guns I had one but it was a 223 and never had a problem with it my buddy had a bushmaster ar10 308 and it was also a good shooting gun The FBI switched over to rock river a couple years back and that was the reason I bought it also parts are every where and are very common I would go to some gun shows and by the lower and upper separate and you might same some money that way also if you buy a used upper make sure it hasn't been registered to a lower yet because you will be unable to transfer it over |

Isn't Colt the only one in which the parts are not interchangeable with other manufacturers. Personally, I was gonna build a 5.56 and figured I could do it for about $800 complete upper, lower, and stock with the chromed barrel. |

it has to be an AR type gun. he had a bad motorcycle wreck 1 1/2 yrs ago and the only kind of gun that fits is one with a pistol grip. |

There are several different style lowers with different grips What do you mean by AR style ? AR's can be made pretty much any way you would want it |

I've got a DPMS and a M&P 15t but this is the one for a .308 if you want one: http://www.lmtstore.com/ they have been in the hands of the special forces for a while and just got another gov contract. they are a work of art for sure. |

The LMT is the way to go depending on how much he wants to spend. My brother has an Armalite AR-10 for sale also if interested. Nathan |

Armalite is a good reliable rifle. I've got an AR-15 with uppers for carbine and varmint hunting, and an AR-10 with a match upper. I've shot both in action matches where I routinely put 500 rounds through them in a morning. Both have held up very well, both have retained their accuracy, and I am not one to baby a rifle! With that said, my buddy, who is a police armorer, opted for a Les Baer. It is very nice and very accurate, but has not been punished enough to address it's reliability. If you want an ar-style rifle in an exotic caliber, try accuracy systems. They will build one for you and guarantee it's accuracy. |

Check out the POF's. They are gas piston operated but $2,000+ I would get an armalite if I was in his shoes and didn't have the money for a POF |

I went with the 6.8 so I could stay with the smaller platform AR15 and not the bulky AR10. Still has plenty of power. Glad I went that route, though I would still reccomend a .308 if you don't reload right now, as 6.8 ammo is expensive and limited |

If you are looking for piston driven, look at Robinson Arms. AMAZING firearms. If not, I highly suggest CMMG, but I dont know if they build a 7.62 or not. I personally own 3 CMMG's, 1 Bushy, 1 Colt and 1 DPMS. all great guns but for the price I would do CMMG again in a heart beat! |

I really like the 30 Remington AR upper concept. Ballistics similar to the 308 but you can use the same 223 lower - rounds short enough to fit in the mag well. Would be a great pig gun. |

Another AR route is Precision Firearms (http://www.precisionfirearms.com). Mark will build you anything that is possible and is a perfectionist in his work. I do agree that his website could have more info on it (such as ALL of the options), but give him a call. When he goes to the various gunshows and sets up his tables, he has his tools and parts with him. A customer can pick the style of recvr (forged/billet), type of hanguard, barrel maker/length/cal, and he will build it for them. He typically carries Les Baer, Lilja, Saturn, Walther Lother barrels (and a few more that I can't remember offhand). |

it may be too late but had he thought about an encore? a true huntiing rifle with the same grip style. alot cheeper and lighter and easier to operate with his limited mobility. many cals and barrel lenths to chose from. / |
