Who makes a good Ar-10 in .308 caliber?

Question

My primary concern is accuracy, but also reliability and price.

What is the best barrel length?

How important(for accuracy) is the common option of a free floating for-end/hand-guard?

Thanks in advance

Answer 3

DPMS makes some as well.

I have a free float rail on my AR off hand accuracy really doesn't improve that much with it.

Free Floats really come into play for long range target guns that are fired from the bench. They are one part of the equation of match barre and a tuned trigger etc.

I would go with a 20 inch bull barrel and the free float and a trigger job if you are building a long distance bench gun.
