Check out what I bought here "The Entry" and "The Flank" Fortunately Omar is on staff to make my size.

Thanks for joining. ;D Ill let the hunters on the board handle this one ;D :P

Ahh I see now. Thats an interesting setup. Hopefully someone will respond soon. Im going to post the question on the front page of the main site too. Thanks for the manual.

So If I am replacing my A2 stock on my Colt with the Magpul ACS a standard carbine buffer and spring should be fine?

Order yours here

Does the Bushmaster demand a specific inch or metric magazine? I seem to recall they did.

pictures of the rifle complete, mag release from both sides and in the magwell if possible. Youve really got me curiosity. Is this thing adjustable like an AR-15 release?

I see all these buffer options. I understand the differences are weight, but what dictates buffer selection? Carbine H Carbine H2 Carbine H3 Carbine

My goal is something on the smaller and lighter side. The 20" HBAR with its A2 stock and cheek piece weighs alot

i just ordered the Magpul ACS for my Preban Colt to replace the A2 stock. Its the only AR I own that I can do as I wish :(

I missed it at $1495. The same shop has it close to $2000 now

excellent

This is something I did by request for someone at the FNforum a while ago. That means Madhouse will be viewing these for the 3rd time.

I'm constantly getting emailed these questions so I thought it would be helpful to get a consensus from the group.

Its all the same parts. DPMS does not put forward assist serations on their .308 carriers The only time you change internals is in the lower when you change buttstocks. You must select the right buffer and spring for the type of stock you are using. If you go here and look at the different .308 schematics you will see the differences and similarities. The schematics are interactive. Clicking on the parts will bring you to the product page of the part you click on. Its really neat

yes, all the DPMS LR 308 uppers will mate up with the LR 308 lowers. Dont worry about newbie questions. This is why I started these sites.

look at this http://308ar.com/assemble_308_upper.htm i think it will make things easier to visualize how it all goes together

The problem is there is not one standard in .308's. In fact DPMS is probably your best choice customizing and slowly becoming the most popular of the variations. DPMS and KAC are based on the original Stoner design. Armalite moved away from that design during the AWB. Many of the parts are compatible, you just need to know which ones arent. Magazines, bolts and barrel nut threads are the big differences. Lets talk about what options you want and work it from there. Tomorrow though as im sick as dog right now and need sleep..

Im in CT, we are only slightly better off. Glad to have you here.

I bought a new camera a few weeks back. You guys can expect to get swamped with stupid gun pictures while I learn how to use this thing.

This thread reminds, I had gone the full nut with my quad, at the time White Bros was the guys to go to. I tricked out the whole thing. Went to roll it outside and it wouldnt fit out the basement door because of its new found width. Doh!!!!

Welcome DNP, are you the "lurker" ;D

Thanks for joining. Like I tell other folks if your planning on ordering a rifle from DPMS forget about it. Your looking at a minimum of 18 months to 2 years. The more options you add the longer it will take. Your best path is to find a rifle on the shelf that's closest to what you want. Are you right handed? The smooth uppers aren't well suited for lefties. Im not sure what you mean by your customization options will be limited. In general the .308's have less options then an AR-15 but the climate is improving. If you havent done so check out the banner for Impact Guns, they have a section on the DPMS .308's that will give you a reasonable idea of street prices.

Its funny, I look at the DPMS pages often. I dont recall ever noticing this before "Does not fit LR-308 Series Rifles"

Im excited for you!!! Feel free to upload the images directly so you dont have to do the linking stuff
