I've got one of those too! First handgun I ever bought. <thumbsup> Drew, buy up some 8- and 10- round singlestack 1911 mags.

Yup, that is what my parts look like. I never took the buffer and spring out of my DPMS so I haven't laid hands on the 308 parts until now. Appreciate all the replies. This board rocks. <thumbsup>

Thanks gents. I'll take the tube back off and put the plate on.

LOL, I hate answering that question with a yes, but yes. <lmao>

I'll get some better pics when I can. Still need to put the scope on.

Welcome aboard man!!

<thumbsup>

In the sticky thread with the buffer specs it says 3.5" for carbine 308, so it's probably the right buffer, it just seems freaking small. I'm sure it's fine, it says 308 on the label.

Ahh, maybe so. D'oh! <thumbsup>

So, I didn't need the receiver plate then? On my POF, the pivot pin detent and spring are held in by the grip. <dontknow>

I have seen the spec sticky, and I've measured, and I'm still having a hell of a hard time believing this tiny little buffer is right ??!?!? <dontknow>

You got that right! A carbon fiber forend isn't going to make the price tag that high.

LOL, those boy are backwoods, but they sure have fun! And I can imagine this show is really going to put them on the map. I was watching the episode where they were putting together the lightweight ARs for the shooting instructor's school. He had his logo on his shirt so I googled him and checked out his site - they're selling the Katanas from Red Jacket right there in a joint site. Seems like he'll put together some pretty lucrative deals from this show.

Welcome aboard!

The charging handle reversability is one of the slickest things I've seen a factory do lately...

I used to think the 7.62 NATO / .308 Win was the same situation as the 5.56 NATO / .223 Rem, where the NATO was the higher pressure round. But, thanks to this forum, i was corrected. The .308 Win has the higher pressure, so be sure to get a barrel rated as such. Unless I still have it backwards...??? <munch>

Man on a mission!! <thumbsup>

This could be pretty cool, definitely looks promising... Nutnfancy SHOT Show 2011: Beretta Set to Embarrass ACR! <munch>

<lmao>

That front hand grip looks awkward as hell to me, I'm going to try it out. ;D

Welcome aboard! None of us were born knowing any of this, so no worries. Read through the forums, ask questions in the appropriate places, learn all you can. There is a very helpful community here! <thumbsup>

Thanks for joining! Welcome!

I'm not a big basketball fan. <dontknow> <lmao>
