    Gunsmithing DPMS .308 bolt catch pin problem

    I finally got all the parts and pieces to assemble my DPMS .308 SASS. After everything was put together, my bolt catch lever wouldn't depress and lock the bolt back. The DPMS lower takes a hex-head screw instead of the normal AR type roll pin to keep the bolt catch lever in place. Well, I...

    Suggested load for DPMS SASS?

    I have a DPMS SASS with an 18 in. barrel. I have put almost every conceivable factory load through it and there is no question that it likes 168 gr BTHP the best. FGMM groups around 1 inch and Winchester Supreme is a close second. If I go with a lighter or heavier bullet the groups expand out...

    Anybody find a smoking load for DPMS .308?

    Out of all of the factory stuff I've tried, Black Hills, 168 grain did the best, producing sub 2" groups at 200 yards, which was better than Federal 168. The best handload I've come up with so far is Lapua 155 grain Scenars, with 46 grains of Varget, which will do 1/2" out of my bolt gun at 200...

    DPMS LR-308 AP4

    I was at the range today with our SWAT guys for a body armor demo. One buddy of mine just bought this rifle and we had a chance to put a few mags through it. Very well built and ran great. He had mounted a leupy 10x scope on it and at 100yrds everyone was plugging rounds through the brass door...

    DPMS and AR-10 .308 differences

    Can someone tell me what, if any differences there are that would prevent use of DPMS parts in AR-10 and vice versa. I am particularly interested in dimensional differences in pin sizes, thread pitch ect. And can AR-15 parts, such as buffer tubes ect. be used in DPMS and/or AR-10? Thanks Crump...

    Gunsmithing DPMS 308 question

    Found a good deal on a DPMS 308 with the heavy 24" stainless barrel. Thinking about getting it and shortening the barrel to 18 or 20" and putting a new floating tube on it so it won't be so heavy and I could maybe take it hunting occasionally. My question is how about much would this cost and...

    DPMS Lower or AR-10 mags which to keep?

    I am just starting to build my first 308 AR. I bought a DPMS lower which was a good deal. Now I am working on a trade for AR-10 20 and 25rd. Gen II mags. If I get the trade done I am thinking of keeping the mags and selling the Lower. Any opinions on which will make the better build? Thanks...

    What new trigger to put in my DPMS 223?

    I have a DPMS 223 and I while it shoots great, there is still something to be desired in the trigger. I was thinking either a RRA 2 stage or a Timney drop in. I'd like to get to 3#. Any recommendations?

    Just bought DPMS Panther LR 308 AR15--now what?

    I just bought a nice DPMS LR 308 with the 24" stainless fluted barrel. I have several questions about setting it up since I'm more familiar with short range rifles, shotguns and pistols. 1. I want a nice muzzle brake, but I'm not for sure if it will de-value the gun to have a gunsmith to thread...

    ????? DPMS or Armalite SASS .308 ?????

    My buddy and I are both looking for new gas-guns. He has to buy from one person that he trades with. He can get either gun, but the dealer's distributor told my buddy's dealer that my buddy definitely did not want the DPMS SASS. He stated that the DPMS is an inferior gun to the Armalite and...
