NTXshooter Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I built my AR308 on a Shadow Ops lower. The problem is that it won't accept PMag Gen 3 mags. I'm looking for a lower that will pretty much use any main stream mag on the market. Recommendations? I've been looking and it looks like most places are out of stock. So, if you know somebody that has them in stock, that info would by helpful also.BTW. The upper is DPMS.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guruofhotrod Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Brownells has the Aero in stock for $185.00http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/receiver-parts/receivers/lower-receivers/308-ar-m5-lower-receiver-prod71464.aspxYou might give Salt Works a call and ask about mag compatibility - I like the looks of their stuff and, they are coming out with anM6 receiver set (larger frame than 308AR) that will accept 300 Win Mag and possibly 338 Lapua size calibers (the M5 is only listed as a set)https://www.saltworksrifles.com/SWR-M5-p/50001.htmI would expect that JD Machine would be a nice option (a little pricy though - they're VERY proud of their stuff!!)http://www.jdmachinetech.com/shop-jd/308-lower-receiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Ok. So the mega is out, but the OP still has some good options out there. And for the record....maten only matches maten. No armalite, no DPMS as far as upper to lower. Here is a link.http://www.megaarms.com/maten/compatibility/ Edited January 17, 2016 by DNP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
