two shoes Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 So a while back I scored a DPMS LR308 lower. Now, I am not an AR guy, but have the LPK in hand and I have ordered a Magpul PRS stock for it. I need a tube, buffer & spring... I think it is the A2 length, so would this work? http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=5...Completion_Kit ?Building my own upper is an option as I have the barrel wrench and upper vice mount, but will probably purchase a ready built. I do not think I could save any money building my own, but it would be a good experience...Any help would be greatly appreciated.Regards,-two shoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 That link doesnt work. You need a .308 specific buffer and springHeres are two spring options at Brownells. I use the Superior Shooting Systems springs in everything now.Superior Shooting SystemsSOGI dont recall seeing a .308 buffer other than the endine at BrownellsThe part numbers for DPMS parts are in other threads as is info on Slash's buffers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two shoes Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 imschur,Here is the correct link: http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=53509/pid=27315/sku/A2_Rifle_Stock_Completion_KitI think the only usable part would be the A2 length buffer tube. So I will not order the kit and get the A2 buffer tube, .308 specific spring and buffer. Thanks for saving me some time, money and heart ache.-two shoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 You can go to Fulton Armory they will have your parts too. Look at the titan pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Fulton Armory is where I got both my rifle & carbine springs & buffers. Both work fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 An A2 buffer tube is only an A1 with and extension (5/8", if I remember correctly) and a longer screw. The PRS uses an A1-length buffer tube. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 In a nutshell, you'll need:* an A1 length buffer tube, * a .308-specific rifle buffer,* a .308-specific rifle buffer spring, ...and the PRS. There are two versions of the PRS out there - AR-15 and AR-10. Slight difference, but you need the AR-10 PRS; if you have the AR-15 PRS it can work with slight trimming, but some people don't like the look of that. I won't get into the details of it, 'cause you probably ordered the AR-10 one.. ;D <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
