Get the 20 round mags while you still can.
I can't.
(%#$#$% Massachusetts)
But it's good to hear that the DPMS upper will shoot. If CMMG ever produces the G3 mag lower that I ordered, that's the upper that fits!
Thanks

I don't know anything about the LAR-8 (track record, reliability, etc.) It does seem to solve the hi cap mag issue associated with .308's using proprietary mags. However, you are looking at about 1,200.00 for the rifle. Does that get you more bang for the buck than a 650.00 FAL?

Of course, there are those who would call me a blasphemer for putting my M1A in an MCS.
Not me skipper...I'd call you a smart cookie...
BTW, there's a new option for Mini-14 owners coming soon to a theatre near you...

I think im in compliance with gods General Order there.
I would need to remove all of my rifles from the safes and lay them all out to be sure.
It would be easier to just buy another one to make sure im in compliance.
Are you sure he didnt say everyone must own a FN FAL ?
I know for a fact im covered there, I can see at least 3 or 4 in the front row.
Get a FAL clone, the mags are way cheaper and much easier to find...AR-10 platform is very expensive but well worth in my eyes..especially when it comes down to finding mags..if you can find 20 rounders they will cost you $80+ each. especially around this panic time.
i know this because i own both a DSA stg58 FAL and an Armalite AR-10.
and i think the pre-ban FAL mags ran me $15-20 a piece which i found on gunbroker!(one of the best places to find pre-ban anything)
and the pre-ban gen1 armalite 20 round mags were a hefty $70-80 a pop. (search on gunbroker they pop up all the time) ..but be ready to bid your paycheck away!
if your looking to do any hunting get the AR-10 you can always slap a 5 round mag and go hunting with it. its lighter and a little more accurate then the FAL (my ar-10 is an h-bar) & allows flexiblity of changing your upper with a wide variety of possiblities.
if you get a DPMS AR-10 you will be very limited with mags if you live in MA..because youll need to buy thier mags which are postban, because the reciever is designed differently. if you want pre-ban 20 rounders , you would have to get the original vietnam era waffle armalite ar-10 mags, that cost some where around $100 each or more. i believe those will fit according to the DPMS site FAQ.
