Thorud74 Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Hello, I'm new here and looking for some wisdom and help. I have a db10 with a 16" barrel and mid length gas system with a carbine buffer system. I'd like to ditch the adjustable stock for a fixed rifle stock. I've done some research and am having trouble finding clear answers/solutions on the subject. I can tear my ar down for cleaning but I don't have any experience with builds and lack the knowledge that comes with it. appreciate any input in advance.

shooterrex Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 This will work. If you don't like this stock you can order just the buffer tube, buffer and spring and install a fixed stock from somewhere else. https://www.armalite.com/SACItem.aspx?Item=EA6050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorud74 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 It seems theyre all out of stock no pun intended, with no back orders Tough times we live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff R Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I converted or used A2 stocks on all of my 308-AR's. That was quite a few years ago but I used the stock buffer tubes and outfitted them with DPMS springs and buffers. Right, wrong or otherwise all those rifles are flawless for function. I found these part numbers on one of the orders but not sure if these parts are still available? DPMS LR-308 Buffer Rifle 308-BS-11 1 22.00 DPMS LR-308 Buffer Spring 308-BS-10B 1 8.00 This was done WAY before I found this site so not sure if these parts will work for what you are doing, but they work fine in all three of my rifles and each one is from a different manufacturer........

Steve crawford Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Just picked up a used DPMS 308 with a fixed stock I think is a A2 style. I stopped at a shop close to my house and picked out a fancy adjustable buttstock. They had to order the correct buffer assembly for it. It also had an EOTech 553 sight. I did not know ANYTHING about the EOTech. Found out it is out of production. Hope I didn't get took on this deal. If THORUD 74 is close to Abilene Texas I may be able to help with the buttstock swap.

Welcome to the forum from a fellow Texan. I am south of Dallas but get out your way occasionally. My dad grew up about an hour north of Abeline. Start a thread and introduce yourself here. https://forum.308ar.com/forum/22-introductions/ Let us know about you and post a picture or two of your rifle.

Both you guys need to read this, before you continue down this rabbit-hole of information that you'll find elsewhere on the internet. If this thread doesn't explain it (link below) - then ask your questions HERE IN THIS THREAD. NOT in the linked tread below... ASK HERE, about the information presented below... I hope I made that clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 If either of you guys are confused about the amount of information that we need out of you, in order to diagnose a gun-problem that you're having, with the functionality of your own rifle - OVER THE INTERNET... then you need to read this thread, right here, in order to understand the amount of information that WE need... in order to diagnose the functional rifle problem that YOU are having... over the internet... It's all in the SPECS. Of your own gun. We need details, of your own gun, in order to even help you in the least. Whatever store you bought your parts from, and what they stated those were - are virtually useless - unless you've measure and weighed those parts in your own, and verified the specs, weights, lengths, coil counts on springs and wire diameters... Doesn't matter what vendor told you what - because so many vendors out there don't even know what the fuk they're talking about in the first place, when it comes to the large-frame platform. Measure, weigh, and spec out your gun parts, in accordance with this guidance below - or we're flying blind here. Details Matter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve crawford Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Since I was replacing all the parts from the frame back I though that it would all work ok. I am on a quick learning curve about the AR-10 I thank you for the information. I withdraw my offer.
