Build an AR

Then build an AR10 or buy a ptr, FAL or scar


Done

>>33286221
ARs have become something of their own, seperate ecosystem in the past couple years, with a great deal of modularity and parts commonality where building your own isn't really a big deal.

However, if you're planning on moving into 7.62 or anything that isn't an AR in 5.56/.223, and you don't have specialist knowledge and tools in gunsmithing already, building most 7.62 rifles will be beyond your reach and it is far simpler to just buy one.

>>33286326
Bullshit, building an AR10 is harder but not that hard.

>>33286343
That only applies to the AR10 because of the AR commonalities. Any other 7.62 semi-auto is going to be an adventure.

>>33286364
Implying any other semi 7.62 is worth it

Ok OP here, maybe if I kinda explain what I'm looking for in a weapon it may help. The 5.56 I'm aiming to keep it fairly short I'm thinking a 14.5 inch barrel and fairly light if possible. I'd like it to be reliable, and fairly easy to fix should something break.

The 7.62 I'd like a little longer maybe a 16-18 inch barrel, but again I want to try and keep it fairly light and reliable. I want to be able to reach out to 500-800 accurately with this one maybe further.

Just fucking build one twat.
It isn't hard.
Google is your friend

>>33286504
Who makes decent parts?

Why would you NEED a Assault Rifle???

t. totally not a fud

>>33286517

>Not needing this.

>>33286221
build ar15
buy any 308 since theres so many variations and compatibility issues that a factory gun with a warranty is worth it.

>>33286551
Fuck off fud.

>>33286641
So would LMT be a viable option for a 308. I've heard good things about them.

>>33286641
i would agree with this. i assembeled my 308 ar out of parts and while everything functions perfectly, i wouldnt do it again. for 308, get a factory rifle.
>>33286756
lmt is solid.

>>33286471
>14.5 inch barrel
you are keeping in mind you will need a pinned and welded flash hider/comp right?

>LMT or SCAR
Yoiur asking the wrong question

>>33287928
Wat?

>>33286326
Why do you make it sound like you actually need powertools and machining? I get the parts clusterfuck and the compatibility with the AR10/AR308 platform, since there isn't really a "mil-spec" guideline for it like the AR15.

But I always felt if you need to cut/weld/rivet a part, things that require specialized tools with specialized skillset to learn, it's really not that big a job unless you're someone who can't follow directions or make real bad decisions.
Am I wrong?

>>33288347
so what's with the SCAR being an "eater of optics" I hear a lot about? Something about it's bolt mass putting a lot of stress on optics?

>>33286567
If you don't feel like helping then don't post faggot
