·Thinking about putting together a new AR from mostly-assembled parts. Wouldn't mind either going either then ar10 route or trying out the 6.5G approach. I'm not very familiar with the features or what's available for these platforms, so would certainly appreciate any direction or parts I should consider purchasing. It'd be mainly for range use, but I'd like to have some decent quality/build (doesn't have to be top tier, either, just nice & reliable mid-tier). I have a ton of questions regarding this topic, but would like to start w/ the basics...
What kind of target pricing would I be looking at w/ these different paths?
If I go the ar10 route, I'd like to get a full-length rail, but have read that .308 uppers have different attachment point than 5.56 uppers, is this correct?
If I go the 6.5G route, could I use any 5.56 upper like the VIS with the 6.5 barrel/bcg, or would I need a 6.5-specific upper? 5.56 mags can be used/converted or need dedicated 6.5G mags? And would the lower be a 5.56 std lower? I'm really diggin that Magpul lower...
Also, are reliable gas piston systems available for either of these cals?
Thanks in advance, guys!
