Sneakymedic Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Im building a Ar .308 DPMS style on a SI Defense matching set. I have the Recievers, BCG... looking to buy other parts. Wanted a RA barrel, might have to cough up for the Noveske. Is the buffer tube the same as an AR, just need a stronger spring and buffer? Thanks. Michael.

Im still new at this but isnt a Noveske barrel made around the Armalite style and not DPMS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct... unless he has the skill/ability to remove the barrel extension, and replace it with a DPMS style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Or stick an Armalite bolt in the bolt carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Or stick an Armalite bolt in the bolt carrier. Yes... or that. Mixing Ford and Chevy parts can be difficult. If he isn't savvy around the bench, he may run into issues he can't diagnose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Is the buffer tube the same as an AR, just need a stronger spring and buffer? Thanks. Michael. Yes, the standard AR buffer tube will work. Take note that there is also an "Armalite AR-10-length" buffer tube in both carbine and rifle lengths. These are about 3/4" longer than their standard counterparts. After selecting which tube you're going with, make sure to get the correct buffer and buffer spring to match the tube.
