    Armalite or DPMS SASS?

    I'm planning on buying a SASS, but can't decide which one to purchase. Does anybody have either the Armalite or DPMS version, and if so, how do they perform? Quality? I noticed that the DPMS version has an 18" barrel as compared to the Armalite's 20" barrel. Does the shorter barrel give a...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake for DPMS SASS

    Could anyone suggest a good muzzle brake for a DPMS SASS 308 with a TPI count of 5/8 x 24. Mine jumps around like a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs when it discharges.....even off the bipod. Frankly I'm tired of it. You can't load the bipod enough to keep it down on the deck and...

    Armalite AR-10 or DPMS LR-308?

    I am looking to build an accurized AR-10 type rifle in .260 Remington. Should I build it on the Armalite AR-10 platform or the DPMS platform. I know that the two will not interchange mags but is one really better than the other? I noticed that GAP builds their precision AR-10 on both platforms...

    DPMS LR308 - Initial Sight In & Break In ?

    I bought a new DPMS LR308 and I'm going to the range this weekend. I have a large quantity of 7.62 surplus ammo (Port, Hirtenberger and Radway Green) and am wondering if it would be ok to use it for the initial sight in and for barrel break in. Any recomendations would be appreciated.
