Armalite Rifles

[fabsroman]

Skinny,

I saw that gun on the website, but there was no price with it, which leads me to believe that it is going to be high. Plus, the mags are limited to 5 rounds only (i.e., there will be no high capacity mags). The gun I am looking at is around $2,100 new. Is this a reasonable amount?

Now, onto some questions I have been thinking about. If I get the .308, can I change the upper to a different cartridge later? I didn't see any with the .260 round, so I will guess that the upper for that comes from a different manufacturer. However, I was thinking about getting the .300 SAUM and possibly the .223 upper at a later date? Will the .223 work with a base from the .308? Are the bottoms the same among the AR-15 family of guns or do they differ.

I just received the Sportsman Guide catalog and saw a ton of high capacity mags in there for the AR-15. Will these work in the AR-10(T) and are they universal among the AR-15 style of guns?

Regarding the trigger on the AR-10(T), I thought I read that it was set at 4.5 lbs. Is that correct? While a bit heavy for me, I think I could live with it. If I cannot live with it, could a smith reduce it to 3 lbs and make it smooth?
