Compatibility

I was wondering if anyone knew, or would know how to find out, if I could use a 6.5 creedmoor Bear Creek Arsenal barrel on a Diamondback upper receiver? I’m trying to build my own considering I can’t find a complete one anywhere.

Is that DiamondBack upper a .308AR-based upper?  If it is, then no reason that barrel wouldn't fit in it. Large-Frame is Large-Frame.  Until some small company fucks up their numbers, and shiit doesn't fit right. 

I'd risk it.   Run with it and tell us how it does.

My bad, yeah it’s a Diamondback DB10 upper. Their version of the AR 10, they just have the angled cut(roughly45°) at the backend where the upper and lower meet together...like the Armalite design. Thanks for the help, this is my first build so I’m sure I’ll be back many more times

If you get the DB upper you may as well save yourself a ton of headaches and get the DB lower to match.  Then you'll know for sure they will fit together.

Yep, for sure, Wilson Combat has the same faux AR-10 angled cut on the rear receiver, looks cool, but def cuts down on compatibility.
