I was looking at the dd ranch set up but when I picked up my lower I spoke with the gun shop I use about fixing the mag and they sell the mean arms kit for a good price so I will most likely go with that. Im definitely going to try to get a free floated barrel set up for accuracy. I like the mag idea of being able to remove the base plate in case of an issue and having to clear the magizine. I only worry about someone thinking and calling the authorities saying I have over the legal limit of ammo to hunt with, if that makes sense. Have you shot your yet?
I was going to use the MEAN on this build but they were out of stock when I was looking to order you can still remove the MEAN but you cannot re-use it if you ever need to replace the mag.
Forgot to mention the other reason I use DPMS LPKs even if your going to replace the trigger you still the other parts to build the lower and the DPMS part are high quality.
The mag is pretty much a mil-spec mag with a 6.5 follower and a special spring. If the DEC come because someone call saying "your using higher capacity mag " when they inspect your gun if you can only put 5 rounds in it they will say have a nice day and leave. My 308 bolt gun has a peice of cardboard blocking the magazine 5 rounds. I was check last year comeing out of the woods by the DEC as they were driving by.
The free floating forend is solid. I'm adding a bipod soon so I have no worry of anything changing the accuracy of this gun. I'm grouping sub 2in groups at 100yds with multiple touch holes in a 5 round group.
I'm pretty happy with this gun, but like I said I'm probably going to swop scope with my other AR in 223.
