Compatibility between .308 AR's and between AR-15s was created by cvn65galleyman
IF, this is a big IF... I decide to build my own Semi Auto AR platform .308 rifle, which parts are compatible to each other?
I know for example a DPMS LR-308 upper cannot be fitted on a Armalite AR-10 lower and my knowledge pretty much ends there.
What about basic items like a DPMS barrel on a Armalite receiver or a AR15 trigger group on a .308?
Just how compatible these plataforms are amongst themselves and between each other? If so what is a good source for a "laundry list" to pick the best of the best?

Just about everything you want to know about the AR-10 platform, including what parts are common with the AR15, what receivers are similar, identical or completely incompatible, etc., etc. etc.

As a general rule, they are not compatable.

To many diferances to go through, but it's better to stay with one or the other when doing a build.

I have heard that a DPMS barrel will fit an ArmaLite upper, but the ArmaLite bolt will not fit the DPMS barrel extention properly creating problems and vice versa.

I came to know about tips or advice from experience people or supplier on making my own rifle, I have visited numerous websites that deals in AR kits, including 85% lower receiver and kits that comes with rest of the rifle.

My limited experience says stick with Armalite. You'll find very few if any negative reviews of their products and I can tell you first hand the customer service department doesn't give up till they hyave a satisfied customer. If you enjoy working on the guns then maybe not, but if you just like to shoot then they are the shit! :woohoo:
