415shooter Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 So one question I have, and this is a stupid question, but will a standard AR-15 forend/forearm fit a 7.62 barrel? all the rails/forearms I look at and go, that's what I want are for AR-15's and I would feel pretty stupid if I ordered a AR-15 forend and it won't fit my .308 barrel.

Robocop1051 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 The only AR-15 handguard that will fit on a .308 varient, is the Magpul MOE handguard... and that requires a little bit of modification to work. The 308AR has a unique barrel nut that does not allow the smaller AR15 handguards to fit. What are you looking for? Perhaps we can point you in the right direction...

Rsquared Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I would feel pretty stupid if I ordered a AR-15 forend and it won't fit my .308 barrel. Sounds like you would have to build an AR-15 also then. <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

415shooter Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 What are you looking for? Perhaps we can point you in the right direction... I'm looking at something like the Samson MFG Evolution rail system. Thank you all for the input on the barrel nut. I dont necessarily want to build another ar-15. I put more $$$$ into my first one than planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) My whole build is waiting on that Samson. I'm considering just buying a cheap DPMS handguard so I can shoot it while I wait. Edited April 21, 2013 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
