Sidearms & Scatterguns Anyone tried the Genesis 12-gauge shotgun upper on a Xanthos lower receiver yet?

    Pretty sure it won’t work since I’ve used SR25 mags in my Xanthos-based AR10 build, and the Genesis upper specifically states it was designed to work on a DPMS (Gen 1) patterned lower, but curious if anyone’s tried it yet.

    Edit: It may actually work. The ability to use SR25 mags doesn’t necessarily mean DPMS incompatibility if I’m reading various sources correctly. I ‘think’ Genesis is referring to the cut at the back of the receiver, and it appears my Xanthos has the same radius cut as the Genesis (vs the SR25 slant cut).
