buffer tube diameter?

[commanderjjones]

Here's another newbie question for you guys...........

Is the LR308 buffer tube the same diameter as the AR15? I'm wanting to install a buffer tube sling mount and need to know if the ones from an AR15 will work. I can't seem to find any that are AR10 specific, so I assume they must interchange???

If it matters, I'm putting it on a DPMS Oracle.

Same, but you need to know if it's mil-spec diameter (1.14") or commercial diameter (1.17").

That's good to know.

Dang, owning an AR10 is worse than owning a Ford. Can't just give the year model, but gotta know the day it was built in order to get parts..........hahaha

I know exactly what you mean. Had a 1988 Bronco for awhile. Still remember arguing with the guys at VatoZone about wheel bearings. "Choose the late-year bearings. It doesn't have top-hat hubs. Trust me, choose the late-year bearings. Yes, that's why it's asking -- it's about the hubs. Dammit, give me the computer!"

Wait, I thought we were talking about a DPMS...
