AR10 A or B?

Considering an AR10 build or buy...any opinions? I want the AR10 "National Match' either with PMAGs or Armalite ones....from what I heard the Armalite mags are more reliable and smoother than PMAGs.

Only AR10 I've got is a REPR.  I use PMAGS with it.

If we ever get the chance I'll let you shoot it at KR-3 and you can do a self eval on the platform and mags.

I would go with the one that takes PMAGs for the availability and price of them. IIRC, the Armalite mags were something like $30-$40 a piece.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

^^^I actually have a 20" and a 16" upper.  16" has a BC brake on it. The 20" has a SF brake.  I'd like to see what Ren can do with it at range, because it is beyond my capabilities at this point.

I never shot an AR 10 or 308 AR before so I am not sure what I can do. I'm not trained beyond shooting highpower with an AR, M1 and a Savage F class rifle.

I would say buy. I believe Armalite has a lifetime warranty on their AR10's. Back when I was researching the AR10, I found that you don't save much by building it yourself. On the other hand, you would get the experience and the pride of knowing you did it.

Good marksmanship is still good marksmanship whatever the platform.  I know I have bad habits that creep in due to lack of continued concentration.

You'd love KR-3.  There's some really long range shooting w/optics.  At this point I can say I can hit maybe something the size of a door at 800 - 900 yards, but at that point I'm about out of adjustment with my current scope setup.  I actually have to dial back the magnification to see impact and I'm still pulling Kentucky windage.

I have yet to make it out to KR3.  I was planning on helping RSO this past Sunday, but I had family in town and they changed their free day from Sunday to Saturday.

I haven't shot past 450 yards yet with my 700 in 308.  I would say that I would be pretty happy hitting a door at 800-900 yards. . . at least at first.   :D

Dood.....................it's friggen hard shooting at that range (800 - 900 yds). The single biggest problem is knowing where your impact is to make corrections.
