Does anyone know if the DPMS LR-308 lower reciever uses a standard AR15 parts kit? I know the triggers are the same but how about everything else?
Thanks!
Thanks!

No they are not the same. The DPMS 308 lowers use a specific bolt catch, bolt catch screw (rather than pin), different set of pivot/take down pins. Here's a link to a 308 parts kit on MidwayUSA or if you prefer Rainier Arms, LLC

Yep.
You just saved <span style="font-weight: bold">crackerbacks</span> some headache in cussing the QC dept at DPMS for his messed up lower.

You guys are right I for some reason was only thinking of the trigger group.

I have searched dpms's site trying to confirm they use a re-designed bolt catch and could not find anything about that. I know ArmaLite re-designed their bolt catch and mag release on the AR10 for increased reliability.
The bolt catch "screw" is a nice touch.

Here's a link to the DPMS 308 Bolt Catch . Its larger and less prone to breakage when using the massive 308 bcg. Mega suggests using it with their Ma-Ten. When you look at the 308 LPK descriptions it doesn't say anything about a specific 308 catch, but when you get them the new packing specifies that it is included.
