Been looking at whats available for bulding one. 2 companies I think I like: 1 Stag http://www.stagarms.com/ar15-rifles/[/url], and 2cd Palmettoe State Armory [url]http://palmettostatearmory.com/. Wish one of them offered it in a .243 winchester cal, but they don't.

There are companies out there that offer AR's in the 7.62 family of cal. You just need to search for the cal you want. But along with it will come a premium price.

Rock River carries a 6.8 mm version of the AR. 270ish caliber. DPMS makes a 243 AR. Try Armalite also. Have you seen the new Stag Arms AR compliant for NY. Had one in my hands last night- no sights- $959.00

I started with a stag model 3, must have the plus package and bolt upgrade.
I've been pleased with stag stuff, but could probably do better on price if you wanted to do the leg work yourself. Model 3 is a nice base.

like I said, many companies make a wide variety of what you are after. The only thing to decide is how much you are willing to pay. I have a LWRCI M6, Armilite AR10, and a few cheaper versions. They all are good.

Now is a good time to buy one.
Supply is up and in some areas prices are down on the evil black gun.
The mfg's made so many after Newtown, and dealers took delivery of so many, that now shelves are full.
Who would have thought.

For a .243 Win ... need to go to AR10 system. They are available.wilder11354 wrote:Been looking at whats available for bulding one. 2 companies I think I like: 1 Stag http://www.stagarms.com/ar15-rifles/[/url], and 2cd Palmettoe State Armory [url]http://palmettostatearmory.com/.

I don't recommend people buy ARs anymore ... but to build them.

Looking back at the posts, my how things have changed. Can get a mil-spec AR now just under $300.
No reason not to own 5 or 10.

I purchased the build kit from palmetto state, and I purchased the lower through my local dealer. Got like 500 in the bare bones before optics or anything, and of coarse the silly mag lock that NYS requires... it’s a very tight build, shoots a tight group also.
