Reading through the forums I have a notion that a DPMS barrel may work. Before I head down that path and start spending money it would be a comfort to know the exact process. I've done due diligence and searched but I haven't found a single source for this information. If anyone on the forum could help, please chime in. 1. An established fact. DPMS barrel extensions are different from Armalite. This means that a DPMS bolt must be used with the barrel and head spaced appropriately. (Or where can I source a 22 inch barrel that is designed for the AR 10?) 2. Well known fact, Barrel nut must be an Armalite type with the correct thread. 3. Gas block and gas tube: - Armalite tubes are a different length. How is this resolved with a DPMS barrel? - Does the carrier need to be an Armalite or DPMS? How does this interface with the gas tube? Different length tubes would indicate differences in the gas key design. - Should an adjustable gas block be used? 4. Does a stock .308 buffer and spring work in this rifle? The basic overriding question is, has anyone on this forum successfully built a 6.5 Creedmoor in an Armalite rifle? If you have, what have been the pitfalls or peculiarities of the build? I get the sense that this is like a unicorn, many have heard of the beast but nobody has actually seen one. Thanks

sketch, The rifle has been a solid performer. It was delivered with 3 Gen 3 P-mags indicating a later production model. I haven't had any of the feeding issues reported by owners of the earlier versions. It looks to be just under a 2 MOA shooter so far. Rsquared-thanks for the heads up.

Hello from North Carolina. Just joined the forum today. I have a SR 762 and am looking to build a 6.5 Creedmoor upper. This site looks like THE "go to" resource for the .308 community. thanks.
