I have a little bit of a dilemma with my DPMS 308 buffer and  buffer spring ( rifle length buttstock ).

I got all my AR15 and 308 buffer and buffer spring all mixed up and now I am
not sure which one is which...I think I got the buffer figured out since
an AR15 rifle length buffer will not work in a 308 because the bolt will not lock.

I got different assortments of buffer spring though and I cannot figure out which
one I am supposed to have inside the 308...I also have an extra heavy buffer spring
in the assortment when I was using it for a 7.62X39.....so it throws me off big time.

HELP!!!!!! what spring am I supposed to use...

I don't have specs for the DPMS .308 rifle buffer spring but it should be close to what the ArmaLite .308 uses.

.072 diameter wire, 34 coils and 13.750 in length.

at least this will help me narrow it down...I can almost say that an Armalite 308 would be the same as a DPMS
in the buffer spring arena ...

Look in the ar-10 section FAQ. You might find info there.

The LR308 rifle spring has about 39 coils and is roughly 12.75" long.

this sounds about right...I measured all my springs and non of them are 13"
or more....
