I like it I have a AR10 SASS .308 which is my midrange precision semi with a US optics ER 5 -25 It's heavy to lug around but the BN36 has a carbine version of only 7 pounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any first hand experience firing the revolution but I do own a POF in 5.56 Recoil is said to be very low for a 7 pound AR10 pattern rifle. I like gas piston AR's just in general 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say I really haven't dived deep in researching the rifle using AR 15 parts but they are a good company and they have some good RD ..so ?? If I owned one I would be able to give a better opinion on it because I would put it through the test with a high round count . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackRockBigfoot Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I haven't heard of anyone with any real high round count Revolutions. Not to say that they are not out there...I just haven't heard of any. Maybe POF has their metallurgy on point with these things and the AR sized parts can handle those .308 rounds. I have been tempted to build a .308 AR when Palmetto State Armory runs their uppers and lowers on sale. Give my FAL some company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if I was to go with a AR10 now I would go with the 6.5 creedmoor . I need another caliber to load like I need another hole in my head but I really like the round . 1 hour ago, norseman said: I’m currently building a 80% AR 10.

I really wish the old guy had made it , he was the best thing in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
