Just so you know, though, and it's discussed as common knowledge here - that's not an AR-10, not even close. Armalite makes the AR-10, and it's a completely different platform that the DPMS LR-308-based Aero M5 that you have. For example, I'll say this - pin an Armalite AR-10 upper receiver to your Aero M5 lower, and see if it fits. It won't. There are 3 basic platforms for these "larger ARs," and they are Armalite AR-10, DPMS LR-308, and Rock River Arms LAR-8. There are tons of different specialized platforms as well, but those are the three main platforms. So, just so you know, you don't have an "AR-10" in the least. Confusion amongst the platforms will only screw you over in the future, when you're looking for upper receiver parts and such. That's the entire reason that this site is named ".308AR.com" ...

I realize that I have a DPMS LR-308 Style receiver and I already have the upper receiver which is a DPMS LR-308 Low Profile model. I recently posted on this forum a picture link showing the difference between a AR-10 and LR-308 and also shows the difference between low and high profiles. https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/category-s/312.htm These rifles are commonly "called" AR10's just like adjustable locking pliers are called "vise grips" although there are many different styles of locking jaw pliers with variations. Armalite is a Brand just like Vise Grips is a Brand. Lots of things are referred to by their brand names instead of what they actually are.

A Corvette and a Mustang are both sports cars, but you don't refer to one as the other just because they are both sports cars, unless you are a moron. You are welcome to continue calling your M5 an AR-10 if you like, just don't get upset if people start to treat you like you should know better, because you should.

I'm just outlining the shoe size, whether or not you wear it is your choice. It is well known to most of us here that "AR-10" is common use phraseology, it's also well-known to be erroneous and irritating. My point all along has been that if you are going to indulge the erroneous and irritating behavior, don't expect it to be well received. There's actually a broader impact than just the annoyance of using the wrong nomenclature. Folks who are taken in by the erroneous use of the phrase suffer the inconveniences of purchasing incompatible parts for their "AR-10" because unscrupulous vendors don't care about the nomenclature. After a decade or so of helping those folks out, we don't have a real sunshiney outlook on the defense of it's improper use. If you aren't prone to using the term incorrectly, that shoe doesn't fit you and you aren't compelled to wear it. Now that you've been informed on the issue, it's up to you whether or not the label applies. Do you want to be part of the solution, or part of the problem?

I just HAD to fix this for you, because you messed it up. I just clarified it for you. Tell you what, man, buy your Aero M5 Carbine recoil system (the complete set that they make). It will come with a buffer that's too light (at 3.8oz). You really need a buffer that's about 5.4oz - and there's an AR-10 Carbine buffer that meets that weight. Buy that Armalite AR-10 Carbine buffer, stick it in your setup, and report back what the results are. I can already tell you what the results are going to be, but just humor me here. You know, since you have an AR-10, anyway, and calling it by what it really is - just really isn't important. I'll be waiting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just didn't search before you posted, and thought you'd found some kind of informational "gold mine." You didn't. What you posted is, literally, old news. Except to you... Here's another one that pre-dates what you're posting, and Troy Ind was the first company to address the DPMS "high/low" change. This was about 2010 or 2011. We've used this one alot... There's even a write up on it on the main informational website, here (not the forum).

98Z5V Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 @TeleStratMan, the amount of butthurt that you've displayed about your nomenclature "willful" ignorance is amazing. It's not just "ignorance," because you state that you DO know the difference in the platforms. So, you're doing it intentionally, or with zero regard for what is correct - you don't care. The amount of butthurt based on the backlash is coming from the "I don't care" attitude, and your atempted defense of it- which is just stupid. You can continue to stay here- you don't have to leave, and you don't have to have someone "ban you." That comes up more often that you know, when people get caught in this kinda shiit. You can stay... But, since you already state that YOU KNOW the differences, then abide by the REAL nomenclature of the differences in the platform. Don't be lazy about it. If you think all three major platforms are the same, and "they're all AR-10s because there are only two platforms - AR-10 and AR15," as you state - they REALLY prove my point that you're correct - and buy a Rock River Arms Lar-8 upper and pin that thing to your Aero M5 (DPMS-based) lower. I just want to see pics of you possessing both, and trying to make it work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 @TeleStratMan, is this a 1969 Fender Rosewood Telecaster? I just saw this for sale for $16k. Since all guitarists play guitars, then everything is a 1969 Fender Rosewood Telecaster, by your mentality. According to that, THIS is a 1969 Fender Rosewood Telecaster, too... I found this for $31.02 on walmart.com... Gotta be the same, since all guitarists play guitars. Right?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbird Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'll toss it right in there with the folks who say they have an "AK" when they mean that they have a semi auto AK variant. :-). I do use "AR10" when speaking to the unwashed masses, they get it. "LR308" or "AR308" are better search terms if your looking for parts. Doubtful that I ever own an actual "AR10".

mike baugh Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 By this logic, all .308AR rifles should only designate an ar rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. And what about the use of 'AR-15'? This WAS also trademarked by Armalite as well; was being the operative word. So using AR-15 is also incorrect. Thanks to Eagle Arms representing themselves as Armalite, implying that they are the same as the original, and thanks to all the mil spec fanboys, we now have no hope for a uniform, progressively improving standard for the AR platform, mil spec or otherwise. I believe we show disrespect to Gene Stoner by equating his work with Eagle Arms; Armalite, whose work and time in history will never be duplicated, should not be copied in name. Improve upon it, of course; but respect for Stoner's elegantly simple design (as others have referenced) is best shown by not naming your company 'Armalite', but by all who follow using the AR-10 and AR-15 as terms of respect. The terms "AR" and "Stoner" are what should be synonymous. The worst result in practical terms is that there will never be standard pattern receivers and bolts for each cartridge "family" as there exists in the bolt gun world; nor quality, longer COL magazines, and lowers allowing for a longer COL. Just imagine a Grendel, a Creedmoor, with a mere .25 -.30 extra room for seating the best aerodynamic bullet where it is supposed to be seated! And there will never be quality, dead nuts reliable mags as long as manufacturers turn out junk for $12-15 for the guy who ironically spent $3500 on his rifle, and $2500 on the glass.

mike baugh Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I tried but couldn't find an article by Mark Miller (one of the Spec Ops guys who developed the 6.8 SPC) where he specifically details the changes needed to be made to the AR magazine. This was 5-6 years ago. Mikey B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first go around I bought everything from Aero precision because I didn't feel like dicking around matching parts. Little different ball game starting with 80% Gen 1 lowers, but everything you need to know can be found here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
