Good to know! Thank you. I finished my lower today and hopefully my lpk will be here friday. Im tempted to pre order a bcg from red rock ord...also black thorne appears to have uppers in stock

Thank you very much for all the input! I will stick with what I have ordered and go from there. I am unsure what I will end up with for a stock... The original plan was a PRS stock with about a 18-20" barrel with a midlegnth system. since I have two ar15 carbines with adjustable stocks I thought itd be fun to have a more long range bench rifle. But with everything going on I do not know what I will end up with for an upper and will possibly end up with a 16" carbine and and want an adjustable stock and iron sights. So I just want to keep options open till I get the rest. Seems like .308 BCG are one of the hardest parts to find!

Ok so buffer and gas system do not affect eachother.. What will the buffer legnth affect? If i put a carbine buffer tube I will have to change the spring and buffer as well correct? Thank you

Hello everyone im new here and just starting my first .308 build. I have a quinten defense DPMS style 80% lower that I will be finishing this week, I have a mill, jig, and a friend to give me guidance with the machining. I just ordered a DPMS LPK and I am excited about getting started. I think I will end up going with a PRS stock and read that I need a rifle legnth buffer tube so I ordered an AR15 milspec rifle legnth buffer tube, DPMS 308 rifle buffer spring, DPMS 308 rifle buffer, ar15 castle nut and end plate. I am on the right track with these parts? My only other concern was if I am limiting myself to stock selections by going with the rifle legnth tube? Also am I limiting my self to an upper with a rifle legnth gas system? or will a carbine or mid work fine? Thank you very much for any assistance and sorry for so many questions. I have two ar15's but I am somewhat new to custom builds. This sight seems awesome and I should be able to learn more here.
