What a great start, I look forward to additional updates as I am new to the AR platform.  I just ordered a DPMS LRT-SASS .308 and am impatiently waiting for it to arrive(should be @ my FFL this week).  The prospect of a full dis-assembly and reassembly is a bit intimidating as the AR has so many parts and aftermarket upgrades/customizations.  Keep up the good work.

imschur I ordered the Fulton Lower Parts Kit. Do I need to order the set screw from DPMS for the Bolt Catch?

No but do yourself a favor and order one from SI Defense, they are superior.

So the screw cuts the threads as it goes in?

no the lower should be tapped by the manufacturer

OK, I see now <thumbsup> This is my first build so I had to look closer.

I have been doing so reading, and now I have a question.

You know I got the Fulton Parts Kit. Is the Bolt Catch going to work or do I need to order a 308 specific Bolt Catch? <dontknow>
