Ok,
So the Aero M5 is coming together.  Quick question, does the standard A2 buffer work for a .308?  What about the buffer and spring?  Recommendations?  I'm using a Luth MBA1 stock.  Not sure whether I'll use an adjustable gas block or not.

According to their website, that stock works with the standard A2 buffer tube (receiver extension). The A2 buffer tube is used for both AR15 and AR10/LR-308 rifles.

You'll need to get a specific AR10/LR-308 rifle buffer and spring. Armalite and DPMS both make them.

So Armalite and DPMS pattern use the same receiver extension/spring/buffer?  Just wasn't sure if that aspect of Armalite was proprietary or not.

For the rifle length buffer system:

The rifle buffer tubes are the same for the Armalite AR10 and DPMS LR-308 (also AR15).

The Armalite and DPMS buffers are interchangeable. They're almost identical in length and weight.

The springs are a little different, but will work with either buffer. The DPMS springs are a little shorter, have more coils and are a little stiffer than the Armalite springs.
