Eastcoastlaxin Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I admit to be a newbie as I build my LR 308 but while looking on GB I came across this barrel which seems like a decent price but it is listed as an AR10 barrel. I know there is a difference between AR10 (armalite) and LR308 (DPMS). My question is will this barrel fit a dpms style upper? My understanding is that when it comes to barrels, AR10 barrels are longer where the feed ramps are or am I mis-informed on that? Here is the link http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=451564651 Thanks in advance for all the help,you guys provide...

98Z5V Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 If you run the AR10 barrel, make sure you run the AR10 bolt for it. There is a difference between the AR10 barrel extensions and the DMPS barrel extensions, as well as the bolts mating to those barrel extensions.

survivalshop Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Found some info on there barrels & most were so so , as far as how the barrels shot . No real info on this barrel in particular & its not unheard of for company's to miss label the fitment for the barrel , it could be for an Armilite or DPMS , hard to tell . Call or email the Company, good luck . Why not just get a DPMS type barrel , there are plenty on the market that are available for DPMS pattern rifles . Unless you are building an AR 10 , why bother with miss matching components , when so many are available . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastcoastlaxin Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Agree with the wise silverback.... I thought there was a difference, it was more of a curiosity question to make sure I know what I'm talking about... I have looked at the dpms barrels, just waiting for funds to become available and window shopping to know what I want when the time comes. Thanks for the help guys...
