Are the Mags. for the DPMS "Panther" special made for the DPMS AR-10 series like RRA, and Armalite or are they more generic ?
- Thread starter Old Corps 8541
- Start date
I feel like this should start off with "in the beginning" but suffice it to say when different manufacturers were starting to produce large frame AR's there was no standard magazine pattern like with the AR-15/M16 series. If they could make it work with whatever magazine they had available all the better and that's why RRA initially used FAL mags, Armalite used modified M1a mags, etc... However, both RRA and Armalite now produce rifles that accept DPMS pattern mags along with most other manufacturers making a large frame AR like LMT, Knights, JP Enterprises, etc...so it's sort of the de facto standard now. Magpul, Lancer, MFT, just to name a few make LR-308 compatible magazines.
TM, THANK YOU
Not that it matters, it's largely semantics, but Armalite pattern mags actually predate the SR25 and LR308. All of the 308 AR rifles that used various surplus magazines were just 94 AWB era guns. There was a standard at the beginning, it was the Armalite magazine now known as SR25 pattern magazine. Reid Knight just happened to buy all of the surplus Armalite mags and the AWB put a 10 year hold on the civilian market development.
I know enough about AR10's to be dangerous lol
Im a retard, just buy any mag. I'm sure it will work. In fact, just throw some glock mags in. They fit everything.

This is what it looks like when you use a lot of words to tell everyone you're retarded.
The hell are you babbling about? Most Armalite AR-10s take SR25/DPMS pattern mags. Armalite still makes AR10B parts for the M14 magazine based rifles.
If your not using an old Rock River with FAL mags or an AR10B, your rifle is going to take SR25 mags.
Thank you all for the info, the "Panther" I was asking about sold while I was "pondering" needing another large AR.
Now to wait for cooler weather and find some LR {600 yd} loads that my 26" RRA Lar-8 loves.

Fucktards everywhere. 2+2 = 5 except for large values of 2 where it equals 7 because liszards

No. The majority would take SR25 pattern magazines. AR10Bs only started being made in 95 when Armalite was bought out and refreshed. The point was you did a lot of yammering for no reason. Unless you have an old RRA or AR10B your rifle is 99% likely to take SR25/DPMS/AR10A whatever the fuck you want to call it mags.
This back and forth has nothing to do with OP's question anyway. DPMS Panther 308/762 takes a DPMS/SR25 magazine.
Eagle Arms bought the rights to the name Armalite. Armalite pattern mags are not the M14 converted mags sold by Eagle arms.
An fyi for anyone who cares. Early Armalite AR10 waffle mags are also not SR25 compatible. They can be with a little modification but, it will be at the risk of killing any collector/resale value.
