IXombie Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi, first time poster and long time search button abuser. I have a 2012 Bushmaster ORC .308 with a Nikon 3-9x50 Buckmaster. I'm going to use to hunt a variety of things from white tail dear to wild boar. I also want to take it to a 600 yard range with friends. What I need is a rail that I can put a grip on to hunt with and a bipod for the range. Do I go with a http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG418/122 or https://danieldefense.com/rail-systems/ez-car/ez-cartm-rail-9-0-mid-length.html? I'm open to other suggestions also.

98Z5V Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 You can run any kind of handguard that is made for a DPMS. I'm pretty sure all the Bushmaster 308s use the newer DPMS rail height, but you'll have to measure your upper to be certain. There's a pinned thread in this section that describes the process. Welcome aboard, man. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXombie Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks for pointing out the thread it's a low profile receiver 3/16. That raises the question how do I know which rail will fit? I just emailed DD to see if theirs will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgiven Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/ar15/132298-bushmaster-ar10-handguard-compability.html This link has links if you scroll down.I use a Magpul handguard on one of my rifles I like it just have to add the rails.The setup they use with the T nuts ot blind nuts works great.DD is great product but a little more money,but you got rails now.Hope I was able to add to the confusion <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
