On the subject of AR 10 what do y'all think about that DPMS lower.


A lower is a lower, people get confused and think a brand name lower is better than a no name lower. I remember a few years back there were only like 3 companies making lowers, but magically 50 companies selling lowers. Its funny to watch people get in a hissy about lowers.

The only lower I would pay a premium for would be Knights ambi lower or a LWRC ambi lower.

Regardless of brand there is billet vs forged.

For AR10 there are different patterns. Commonly referred to as DPMS style or Armalite style. There are physical differences and the uppers are not compatible. I would build a DPMS style 308 AR, because of there ability to use pmags. Armalite is building lowers now that accomodate pmags but I think they missed the bus as there is more support for dpms style ars.

All lowers are not created equal. I've seen some that leave gaps and some that need a hammer to get the upper off.

None of those were DD, LWRC, etc.


Lately I've seen just as much hate for people with high end rifles as low end rifles. Some people like driving a Mercedes over a Hyundai, why does that bother people??
