Now you are talking.
Reloading is far better than buying ammo and shoot it is a passion
First of all you and I mean you get to be away from what ever you love but you want to be
Apart for a few hours , in my case is my WIFE :woohoo: .
Sorry were I was, o yea reloading yes , a lot of people get to reloading thinking that they R going to
Save a lot , don't get me wrong you DO but not a lot, and you may do depending on what you are reloading
For for instance 9 mm luger umm may be not , 223 rem not close enough , 270 , 30-06, 308,243 ETC Yes
300 win MAG 300 WEATHERBY big saving.
Now in your case 308 in a automatic GUN Yes.
Now you may just want to buy wally ammo at 14 to 18 dollars a box of 20 you know the cheap stuff , it will shoot but don't expect sub MOA groups. Now don't listen to those people that say AR's don't shoot like
Bolt guns ,they do in fact my Armalite with my handloads shoots 1/2 moa all day if I do my part.
Now I can buy a expensive MATCH ammo factory loaded for let's say 45.00 for 20 that's
2.25 a round and this may shoot 3/4" if your RIFLE likes them.
I can reload 20 rounds that those same rounds can be use for competition and hunting.
Hope I didn't confuse you , I tend to over explain my self some times. :blush:

Your "basic" AR-10 has 74 parts to it + 2 (scope and magazine), nothing basic about it

Tank, here is a good place to start. (
geissele.com/pdfs/dmr-flyer.pdf
) Obviously you can find this offered on Gunbroker.com or Armslist.com or Cabellas or Brownell's, etc., most likely, for better than direct sales from the company, but these are industry leading triggers that many, many people swear by. It's not the only great trigger out there, but no one will tell you that you made the "wrong choice" if you just go for a Geissele right off the bat. Since you have a pretty darn good "tactical" trigger group already, you probably should lean towards the "match" trigger. I'm not sure (I'm actually looking to upgrade my trigger too, the only thing besides my buttstock that I can upgrade to get any more accuracy, but it will be down the road a few months so I'm not really looking hard at choices yet...) [*edit* most "adjustable triggers" reccomend gunsmith installation, whereas non-adjustable trigger groups can be installed by informed self-installers. Go to www.geissele.com for more information, including how-to videos on installation.] There are other options, JP makes a good adjustable trigger, Timney I've heard nothing but good things about. That's the three ones I've heard are top notch, undoubtedly there are others, perhaps cheaper ones that might be nearly as good. The forum archives should produce some good search results for you, and after you look over that, if you still would like some guidance make a new topic in the right category and I'm sure someone with more experience with actually doing this will help you. I'm interested as well in this since I'm planning on a trigger upgrade myself. One thing I need to do is figure out "how good" my trigger is... since I've never had an AR10 before... I have nothing to compare to this Noveske factory supplied trigger... but it's very crisp, and when a 12 year old neighbor kids picks up a full sized rifle for the first time in his life and shoots a 1" group of three shots at 100 yards, off sand bags, pretty quickly, like this past weekend... I may *not* have much trigger upgrading to do... my two sons, 13 and 15 and that neighbor kid hit 2/2 each at water bottles at 200 yards the same day... factory ammo. I don't know whether to be more proud of these youngsters or my rifle... I guess I'll just split it up nice and even... About the free floated handguard... first of all it's one of the common do it yourself type changes, look up YT videos, here on the forum, and the manufacturer that sells the model you select can give you precise advice on what you need to do and how you need to do it, pretty simple really. As far as choices... Mine came with a SWS quadrail at 10" length (a speical length that floats over the low profile gas block Noveske uses, an 8" [Armalite AR10] Carbine length gas system, same as yours), that includes built in quick disconnect holes in various places, it's very lightweight, extruded aluminum. You can see pics of my rifle on my "rifle showcase" posts recently". As far as quadrails go, I really like this one. Noveske tends to really think out choices that go into their complete rifles, and I think the SWS quad rail is a very good choice. SWS has an apx. 8" standard model (keep in mind, this may be called "mid length" for an AR15, but it's standard Armalite Carbine length for an *AR10*) that will terminate just short of your standard sized gas block, however if you actually want to get serious about group sizes on paper and at longer distances... I would not mount anything to the rail on the gasblock, put it only on the handguard... kind of defeats the purpose of free floating the rail in the first place if you do. I got some Magpul MOE (I think they are called) polymer snap on rail covers to cover the part of the rail that goes against my back when slung on my back, and the spot between the magazine well and the vertical grip I put on (also a Magpul) where the side/top of your thumb rests. That seems to take care of any of the drawbacks of a quadrail for carrying a weapon slung... like in hunting situations... but if you do not need so many rails and want something more suitable to field carry, I would reccomend the Troy Battle Rail... it's a tubular aluminum design with holes cut out that can have short rails attached just about whereever you want them to be to mount something, but otherwise it's smooth and tubular. I think they have different models with built in mini-rails at certain spots, and a continous top rail if you want. I like those a lot. If I were you, I would decide what is most important to you... and get the perfect free floated handguard to best cover all your intended uses, versatility without having to change it out being highest in priority. But handguard choices are legion. The two I've mentioned are very popular types, and both very good products specifically. Two days until rifle in your hands right?... I bet you are stoked... here are two pics that show you how the SWS looks...
