I have a set of stripped upper and lower in DPMS. I have a few questions for clarity, so that I don't buy useless to me parts. This will be for an occasional paper target shooting from 100-300 yds. I'd be happy if I can be within a 10" pattern at 300 yds. And this will probably be a slow build over a years time.
LR-308 and the DPMS are they same? My understanding is that PSA got involved with the DPMS and they have a 2nd generation now. But the original DPMS is considered the LR-308, yes?
Barrels: my understanding is that barrels are interchangeable between the AR 10 and DPMS. Am I correct? Only the barrel nuts are different. I got a measurement of 1 7/16-16 for the threads.
How picky is the gas system? Plans are for a Faxon Duty series in 20". Rifle length gas tube. With DI, is an adjustable block necessary, especially in the event of going between .308W and 7.62x51 ammo?
I have read that some bolt carriers can dig into the threads on the lower. What do I look for to get the correct carrier?
Most all threads and articles that I found are 5-10 years old. I'm not sure if better specs are out there.
Thanks for all input.
