DEFINITELY turn off the caps, please!

ASA stuff, at least in the past, has been plagued with problems from quality control, to poor manufacturing, to an @$$hole for an owner. It is my understanding that the company is now (and has been for a while now) under new management and that they have gotten their $H!T together. I have not personally used one of their newer 308 side-CH rifles, but I know that others here have in the past (you might try running a search and see what comes up). Frankly, if it was my money, I would lean toward one of the many other reputable, dependable, mainstream manufacturers if I were you.

Fulton and JP Enterprises both offer side-CH uppers based on the DPMS/KAC pattern. (Fulton uses a traditional right-side CH while JP used a CH similar to the ASA design that goes on the left side of the receiver with a fold-down handle/latch). I have personally shot both the Fulton Titans and the JP LRP-07 rifles and they are excellent!

There are some VERY nice AR-10 parts, complete uppers, and rifles available in the firearms for sale and Optics & Accessories For Sale sections right now.
That is where I would be looking to get a discount on a proven shooter.

We build to exact specifications too, I never like buying a factory gun and then put all the upgrades on it, you lose too much money. Shoot us an email is you'd like to hear more.

I believe Mike at Dedicated Technologies also makes a 308 to any specs you want.

I highly recommend the Krieger M110 20" barrel.

Worth the wait.

If I were droppin the coin on a 308 AR, my first call would be to Scotty @ specialized dynamics. Proven accuracy and reliability.

I here Mike at DTech is running about a year behind currently.

GA Precision makes good rifles, but I'll never forget George Gardner picking up one of Scottmilk9's (Specialized Dynamics) uppers off of a prize table at a match-that says something to me. That and the fact that Scott's biult me a couple shooters, and he's a Hide sponsor and approved vendor.

How many D-Techs do you see on prize tables at competitions?
