re: buying first AR in .308

Look at the Armalite DEF10. Solid gun for the money (about $1,000)

I have a Rock River .223 that I think is the shiznizzle. I may buy their .308 soon - it has good reviews and also takes FAL mags

It's different for certain states. Like California you can't put a muzzle device and it can only be a 10 round mag whereas the Maryland version is like you said, still has a muzzle device but only a 10 round clip. Just make sure you look at the mdl# and cross reference it to the s&w website

It comes with a clip and a mag?

Easily the best bang for the buck. Light, extremely accurate, comes optics-ready (flat gas block), and has a reliable track record just to name a few pros...
