| A quick question in regards to the upper. Judging by the pics of the stripped AR10 upper. It looks like it is patterned after the DPMS 308 upper design. Does this means that the upper can only accept DPMS pattern bolts, barrel nut, and barrel. |

I dont know for sure, but it would be my belief as well. i sure hope so since ive been buying DPMS pattern stuff for a few months. :) |

Their description says SR25 mags so I'm assuming SR25 compatible? AP made theirs in DPMS pattern so if be nice if this is SR25 patterns. I'd build one of each.
Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our new .308 stripped lower receiver.
Made using the most advanced aerospace manufacturing technology to produce the industry's finest forged .308 lowers, our receivers are machined on an automated multi-million dollar manufacturing system which enables us to produce a product of unequaled quality and value. These forged lowers are quality made using 7075-T6 aluminum. The finish is black hardcoat anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 Class 2. Additionally the receivers include an integrated trigger guard, and are designed to use AR15 fire control groups so your favorite AR class trigger can be used. These are developed for use with SR-25 pattern magazines - which are commonly available in metal or polymer. California Buyers - stripped lowers are sent to California as "Long Guns" only. PLEASE NOTE: We are not accepting phone orders on this item. Lowers may take up to 10 BUSINESS DAYS to ship from receipt of FFL information. Please help us help you by ensuring your FFL is sent in as soon as possible. Please make sure the business name of the FFL you will be using is on your order. |

It's DPMS and takes SR25 magazines so you can run the 308 PMAGS in it. If you want an SR25, you're going to buy a KAC

When it comes to 308 mags, SR-25 and DPMS is the same thing. You have to pay attention with 308 builds as there's so many different patterns. PSA's are DPMS pattern - which is great because it's the most common platform to find parts for. That's why most manufactures are making DPMS pattern receivers. |

The patterns just aren't all the same as with AR-15 platform rifles. When some companies decided to get into the AR 308 game, they had their own specs in mind apparently as to things like buffers, buffer tubes, barrel nuts, barrel extensions, bolts, bcg's, lower parts, etc. The ones I know of off the top of my head are DPMS pattern (probably the single most common), Armalite pattern, RRA pattern, SR25 pattern, and I know I'm definitely missing some. You have to make sure you're buying all DPMS pattern parts if you're building off DPMS pattern receivers (such as PSA or Aero's receivers). There are several other companies making DPMS pattern receivers as well. Mega's and a hand full of others are based on DPMS pattern simply because DPMS 308 pattern parts availability is much, much better than any other pattern. Following DPMS in availability is probably the Armalite pattern. Hope this helps. Building a 308 isn't any harder than building an AR-15, you just gotta make sure all your parts are compatible. It isn't like an AR-15 when an AR part is an AR part and can basically be thrown in and out of any rifle. This is my 308 I just built using Aero's new receivers: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_121/653113_My__308_build_built_off_Aero_receivers.html |

And I'd say the vast majority of 308 receivers are in fact DPMS pattern. It seems that a hand full of companies decided to do things their own way and have their own pattern which sucks if you're an owner of one of those guns because that means two things: limited parts availability and you're going to pay a premium for those limited parts where as DPMS patterned parts are everywhere and made by a lot of companies. Also, 308 magazines aren't 'limited' per say, but certainly not as easy to find as AR-15 mags are. So when you have a gun from a company that decided to use proprietary mags, it makes it that much more aggravating to find something as simple as more mags. DPMS/SR25 mags are by far the easiest to find. |

dpms pattern means it will take all dpms pattern parts in theory. you should be able to buy a psa lower, add an aero upper,
add a mega barrel, and run a dpms bolt. it may look like shit. due to lines and angles but they should mate together and work. dpms pattern is becoming the universal "ar 10" kac, smith, aramilite, bushmaster all use proprietary parts. what has gotten alot of folks confused is lately most manufactures have manufactured their lowers to use sr25 mags. the "best" design for aftermarket support is this new dpms pattern that takes sr25 mags. one other thing i have see is some lowers need longer takedown and pivot pins due to thicker areas on the receiver. i ordered a blem 5.56 upper on wednesday or i would have bought this on friday dammit |

I see your point about how it should work but look like ass. yea they didnt last long as they were gone by yesterday. i wonder how many were first run |
