Best AR-10?

[greg vess]

I talked the owner of Lanxang Tactical. He is a good guy with a A1 operation. His build techniques are second to none. Clean like a surgeon at the time. We spoke for an hour that day I visited. I thought it was a parts supplier but we sat in the truck and talked for an hour. He is a good dude. I know at the time he used Walther Luthar barrles in his AR15'S that might have changed.

I've never owned a .308 or similar upsized A.R. 15 type rifle, but I've shot three of them at 100 and 200 yards.

They make a good range gun, but I was really surprised by their weight... they felt heavier than I expected, and heavier than a scoped M 14/Springfield M1A.

(although that could be just simply a matter of perception, because I'm used to AR15s being lightweight rifles, and the AR10 /DPMS 308 certainly were not light!)

I had a DPMS AR 10. 22 inch bull barrel. Dang thing weighed a ton. Traded it in a SIG 716. It wasn't as accurate as the DPMS so I quit fooling around with shelf guns and built my own. Finally got the accuracy but I wasn't a cheap build. The dang bolt carrier group at the time was 300, I think it was just under a grand for the BCG and Barrel.

Seekins SP-10, great design on the hand guard.

This past weekend I had a student use one of these in my Basic Precision Rifle Course, running it out to 1,000yds. It shot very well.

If you build an AR10 stick with parts that specifically note that they are DPMS or LR308 compatible. It takes a lot of the guess work and complications that can arise from the different specs of certain manufacturers. It makes it a lot easier.

I liked my DPMS LR-308 and after getting a Daniel Defense DD4 V7 I went out and got the DD5 V4 and really like that.

I was going to sell my DPMS but it shoots well enough I decided to keep it.

Am interested in the Sig 716i but can't justify the cost. If I snagged a Ruger SFAR I'd probably sell the DPMS.

LANXANG VL-34.

I owned a 16” VL-34, wouldn’t run suppressed. I even took it to Lanxang in conyers and had them tube the rifle with the can and ammo I was shooting, still never more than 5 rounds without malfunctioning.

Was insanely accurate. They did tell me the 16” tend to be more finicky, I haven’t had an 18” or 20” from them so I don’t know. But that 16” was a PITA.

Mine has an 18” Walther Lothar barrel and runs fine with my Mack Bros can.
Insanely accurate is a good description lol.

Good to know, I’ve thought about trying an 18”, the rifles they build are shooters

Haven't had an AR10 in my hands that will outshoot the JP Enterprises LRP-07.
