new DPMS .308, what stuff fits it?

Post by gandalf23 »

Last weekend I got a DPMS .308 AR-10 ish rifle. The seller at the gunshow said it was the new Gen II version, but after getting home and looking at it, it is not. It's an LR-308. I had wanted the Gen II version since it accepts almost all AR15 accessories like stocks and triggers and handguards.

Oh well, I should have done more homework, and not just taken "some dude"'s word for it.

I have emailed DPMS, but have not received a reply, and I seem to remember a few people here have DPMS AR10s, so...

What handguards will fit on this rifle? Will a Magpul MOE handguard fit?

Will a surplus A2 fixed stock fit? Obviously I need to swap out the buffer tube, so I guess I should be asking, does a GI Buffer tube fit? And will the DPMS buffer fit in it? Will I need a new buffer since I'd be going from a collapsable stock to a fixed?

Thanks!

Aside from not knowing what will fit, I like it so far. Especially for $800 out the door. Need to find a scope for it, may use my SWFA 1-4x till I find something else.

Pretty sure it's off the same machine as the Bushmasters ORC so everything should swap. I have one of the Bushy's and everything so far works.

Borrow some parts from buddies and test fit?
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D
