Marine0311Style Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Names Zack, I'm an Active Duty US Marine and me and my stepfather both decided we wanted to do a LR-308 Build. Were both using DPMS Lowers. I'm hoping this community will assist me with advice on parts and such as well as compatibility issues. I do have one question already and that's about the Magpul PRS buttstock. Can I use a Rifle Hydraulic buffer with that fixed stock and extension tube or do you guys recommend something else?

I wouldn't recommend a hydraulic buffer though as there are more conventional ways to reduce recoil. Using a standard .308 AR rifle buffer (5.4oz) and spring work pretty well in the rifle receiver extensions or there's always Heavybuffers.com.

Matt.Cross Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hydraulic buffers have proven to add more complexity to the large AR platform and little or nothing else. It's just an unnecessary wear component in 99.99% of it's use. I have one I'll send you for the cost of shipping if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
