·So I just finished that Remington .308 sniper build and have been wanting a dedicated Varmint gun based on the AR platform. I seriously considered scoping my RRA but man I have to have at least one tac rifle right?
I figured I could just pick up a varmint upper in .223 and only be out $600.00 or less, BUT then it hit me, BUILD one! So I started the research and found a .204 DPMS barrel for $180.00 shipped, yup you read it right, $180.00 shipped, NEW too. A gunsmith from another forum had me call him and he told me that he personaly knows the sales manager for DPMS and he himself is a master dealer for them and the best deal he can get is $190.00. He said I better buy it fast before the place im getting it from finds out their error. I ordered the barrel this morning and when it comes, I will stand it in the corner of the closet until I can get the other parts.
I believe im going to use a DPMS stripped upper without the dust cover or shell deflector. This is a hunting rifle, not a tac rifle and I can get the upper for $85.00 shipped. In order to have 2 complete rifles, I will more than likely pick up a RRA complete lower with the NM 2 stage trigger in it, I really like the trigger in my other RRA.
I promised some remodeling projects to the wifey before I put together another rifle but man this was too good of a deal to pass up! piece by piece, it will emerge :mrgreen:
