speedy223 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 first of all... hello to all... just found this website/forum didn't know it existed....looks great.I am relatively familiar with ar15's and have built several but have never messed with an AR10 type. I finally sprang for a Juggernaut 308 lower receiver and am waiting for its arrival. yes it is the complete one, not sure I could handle machining the 80% one I have seen advertised.I went to a website that I am used to buying ar parts from and first thing I see is: not all ar parts are compatible on the ar 10 platform as opposed to the ar 15 one. great... couldn't be that easy... lolso I see on the website that sold the juggernaut receiver (buckeyetactical) that it is compatible with all DPMS LR 308 stuff.my question I guess is what does that mean in regards to everything that is not DPMS LR 308. I am new to the AR 10 world and would also appreciate any information about what is always compatible on ar 10s and what is exclusive to DPMS types like this juggernaut so I can know what I can mix and match as I build this. also like to know optimal barrel lengths if anyone has 2cents to add and any other need to know things about something tailored for a DPMS style 308.any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang1952 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 From what I have found DPMS is the more common. More parts are compatible. The trigger groups are the same as AR15’s. The main diff are the locking pens which are longer for the 308 version. From what I see you went with the standard LR308. Gas tubs, stocks, forearms and other AR15 parts will inter change.

Wolfgang1952 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 This is my DPMS LR308 A2 Carbine. You can see I used a carbine triangle hand guard on it. the only thing I had to mod the heat shield. Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Ok so juggernaut is dpms pattern, don't search for AR10 parts you will come up with armilite parts which is a different pattern. Like wolf said "dpms" pattern is the most popular, so that's good news. Welcome me to the forum from southern wi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
