- standard rifle receiver extension/buffer tube

- 308 buffer

- 308 spring

I don't know if the PRS stock uses the A2 receiver extension spacer, or if it comes with the buttstock screw.

I'm confused.

When changing from a rifle length fixed stock (factory) to a Magpul PRS I've never had to do anything short of simply changing the stock.

I guess you guys must be talking about a .308 carbine?

yes, look at the first post

[Guest LLArms]

Woops.  My bad!  <dontknow> :cookoo:

if you have a fixed stock already then the new prs just bolts right up.  if you have the collapsible carbine type stock then you need to buy the rifle buffer tube, rifle buffer and rifle buffer spring to make the prs work on the carbine system.  i have the prs 308 on my dpms and i love it....soooo adjustable.  heavy but A+

If you have a heavy barrel it balances better with the PRS

Now to decide how I want to mount a sling.

All of my present .308 AR's have collapsible butt stocks, (CTR, Ace hammer etc.). Is it possible to put a spacer into the PRS so that I can have complete redundancy between all of my rifles? What about the UBR? I'm thinking that my next large platform AR will be intended more for accuracy than light weight/portability, and was planning on the PRS, but would opt for the UBR if it made things easier for me as far as buffers and springs. I've used Slashes buffers and springs exclusively in my big AR's and would prefer not to have to start keeping track of what setup I have in which gun.

[jeffreyC]

Jgun,

In your case the UBR would be a better choice.

At this point I do not think I will be making a 308AR carbine, maybe an SPR/recce build but I can live with a fixed stock, since I favor 16" to 18" barrels I'm not giving up too much portability.
