Question: DPMS LR-308 with Magpul Stocks?
I’m looking for information regarding Magpul stocks and DPMS’s LR-308s. I’m aware that Armalite’s AR-10s have longer buffer tubes than AR-15s, and while stocks made for AR-15s can fit on Armalite’s AR-10s there will be about half an inch of buffer tube sticking out of the rear of the AR-15 stock. I had an FFL holder order me a DPMS 308 Recon (not here yet ), which comes with what appears to be a standard Magpul MOE butt stock.
My questions are: 1. How long are DPMS LR-308 buffer tubes in comparison to AR-15 and Armalite’s AR-10 buffer tubes? 2. Is the (what appears to be a normal) Magpul MOE stock on the 308 Recon likely to have any extra buffer tube stick out of the rear of the MOE stock when fully collapsed? |

I'd suggest you get in touch with DPMS and Magpul customer service.
I have no experience with DPMS but quite a bit with (LaRue Tactical who I buy Magpul from). LaRue's customer service is excellent.

ArmaLite uses a .750 longer (internal) RE. The 7.62 BCG is a half inch longer than the 5.56 BCG. You either need a longer RE or a shorter buffer. With A2 stocks both (AR15-AR10) are the same RE but a different length buffer. |
