    Re: Armalite barrel w/ DPMS upper? There is a significant difference in the buffers and springs used. The gas port should be different because of this. I would use the Armalite barrel, BCG, buffer, spring, and buffer tube (if carbine, rifle is the same).

    Gunsmithing Custom AR-10 Lower and m110 magazines

    Re: Custom AR-10 Lower and m110 magazines The AR-10 upper has a shelf to limit the seating depth of the AR-10 mag. The shelf does not allow SR-25 mags to seat even if the lower is for the SR-25 mags.
