unforgiven Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Welcome from Indiana brother , what are you're thoughts on the build ?
JohnnyChingas007 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Posted July 10, 2016 HELP NEEDED ON FIRST AR 308!!! I just picked up a XLR Industries Tactical Stock for my first AR308 Build and I have questions on if it will function properly. I have a list of parts and I would appreciate your feedback if I'm doing something wrong or if the layout is even going to work okay. After reading several reviews I know that a Rifle Length Stock would probably work best buying really don't like the options I have seen out there. I want this thing for a combo of somewhat longer range but yet still be able to use in closer quarters... Is there a way I can get it to function correctly with Mid-Length Gas System/Carbine Stock? Which Buffer and Spring Setup would work best? Here is the list of parts: JL Billet Upper/Lower Match Set JL Billet 15" Angle Cut Low Profile Rail 18" 308 Faxon Heavy Fluted Barrel .308 Mechforce Muzzle Brake .750 SLR Sentry 7 Adjustable Gas Block Mid Length Black Nitride Gas Tube Rubber City Armory 308 Nitride BCG Geissele SSA-E Trigger Group & of course The XLR Industries Tactical Stock which is Carbine Stock... Please let me know if I am doing this correctly as I don't want this thing to brake on me first day out... Thanks and God Bless!!!

survivalshop Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Use DPMS 308 type Carbine components in that stock , I would measure the inside depth to make sure what it is . We have seen many Proprietary Manufactured Components that will not function correctly with std Buffer systems , like DPMS or AR 10 . Measuring the inside depth will tell you a lot about what will work best, the DPMS type system is the same as an AR 15 , around 7" deep . I'm not too impressed with that stock , it has a very small attachment point for the Stock assembly its self , a weak point , but ya never know , we expect a review of its performance https://xlrindustries.com/products/tactical-butt-stock
shepp Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Welcome to the forum, feel free to post in the intro section
unforgiven Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 If it's DPMS type you could use this https://dsgarms.com/arm10702302 I put this on my M5 with a different stock.

I believe it is. I emailed XLR if it's compatible with the AR 308 Platform but still waiting to hear back. As far as the buffer goes, what is the best buffer? I was looking at the PWS H2 Buffer with Carbine Spring. Will that work?

survivalshop Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 You have to use 308 components , H2 is for a AR 15. Like these below . Heavy Buffers & his systems have good reviews also & have advertising on this sight . http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/receiver-parts/recoil-parts/recoil-buffers/buffers-prod42991.aspx?avs%7cMake_3=AR+xzzx308 http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/receiver-parts/recoil-parts/recoil-springs/index.htm?avs%7CMake_3=AR%20xzzx308

My thoughts are to run a Armalite Ar10 Carbine Buffer Spring or modified 308 carbine spring from Heavy Buffers on Brownells. You have been a great help already but I was wondering if this will work. Please let me know your thoughts... Thank you http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/receiver-parts/recoil-parts/recoil-springs/modified-308-ar-buffer-spring-prod44698.aspx?avs%7cMake_3=AR+xzzx308&avad=avant&aid=7835&cm_mmc=affiliate-_-Itwine-_-Avantlink-_-ale http://www.primaryarms.com/armea1095/p/armea1095/ http://primaryweapons.com/store/product/pws-mod-2-buffers/
JohnnyChingas007 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Posted July 11, 2016 Please scratch that primary's arms link. It's for a rifle length stock. Sorry... but this one instead: http://www.nokick.com/mobile/Product.aspx?id=861
survivalshop Posted July 11, 2016 Report Posted July 11, 2016 The AR 10 ( Armalite ) Carbine system uses a longer Receiver Extension , if you want to use an AR 10 system , you will have to change your stock , because yours is proprietary to the Receiver Extension ( Buffer Tube ). JP's spring is OK as long as you use a DPMS type 308LR Buffer . Which is 2.5 " long , Heavy Buffers Spring for the DPMS system is OK also , as long as you use his or a DPMS Buffer . Compliments of HEAVY BUFFERS.
