Gunsmithing REQ gunsmith for AR10/308/7.62 build in FL or mail

[whoelse42]

First, thank you for your time and advice.
I am looking for any gunsmith that you could recommend based on experience with AR10s / semi auto .308s, in either the South Florida area or one that would do mail order mainly from parts I'd ship them.

Here is my situation, I've owned various ARs but am a newbie to the .308/7.62NATO precision shooting world. I recently came across a MEGA arms MA-TEN set, which was priced too good to pass up (no further comment). I've assembled the lower receiver with the appropriate items, but having no experience with 308 win or 7.62 nato uppers, I wouldn't have a set of headspace guages to test an upper if I try to assemble it myself. Therefore, I'd rather pay someone else with real experience to complete the upper.

I have the upper receiver, a set of DD AR10 lite rails 12.0, dpms barrel nut, a AAC breakout 51T and some funds available (never leave home without plastic).

I'd like to find someone that could provide the missing components, assemble them, and if lucky test fire:
-18" fluted - dpms sass type - barrel chambered for 7.62NATO but safely capable of firing fresh factory loads of 308win.
-low profile gas block
-gas tube
-dpms bolt carrier complete kit
-JP or LWD advanced/enhanced bolt complete kit


Anyone have a better idea? or any smiths they would consider?

I appreciate any input, even if you think my route is inefficient or non-optimal.

Matched barrels and bolts are pre-headspaced. Your biggest issue is finding an action block that will accomodate the ma-ten upper.

It's what I did for my upper/lower set I couldn't pass up.

Thanks I appreciate the info, I've sent an email to GAP to see if they could help and what the rate would be. FYI, just in case I didn't make it clear, I have the upper and lower receiver set, and assembled the parts for the lower.

I just didn't want to order a dpms sass barrel and sass or micro gas block and face something (gas tube, pints, something) not working correctly, the chambering being off or having to wait 3 months to get it done. Anyone can put together a 5.56, but I'm a little cautious as the calibers go higher.

Let me me know how long gap will take. You probably won't get it back until 2012. They're very busy.
