[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2305594, member: 94491"] Aero precision clouds the water a little with their "gen 2" components---- they are referring to their own 2nd generation of parts that offer more/different features than their fist generation of 308 components. They are NOT compatible with DPMS gen 2 rifles ( which is what is commonly referred to a "gen2" 308) DPMS Gen2 rifles and componants are mostly property in nature but do use common ar15 barrel nuts and handguards...as far as I know, the only other 308 AR upper that uses ar15 barrel nuts and handguards is the "nextgen" by Harrison Bean --- the design and rights were sold off to a different person located in Colorado that last I heard had rebranded them as the "regulator" BUT I'm not sure he has any for sale at this time. The "gen2" mixes ar15 and ar10/lr308 components to create a much lighter 308 rifle--- they also use some proprietary parts (such as bolts, extractors, ejector, and barrels) As others have said, the 308 AR platform isn't really milspec- therefore there are quite a few proprietary components that won't necessarily "cross over" in fitment from one brand to another like with ar15 parts. There are different designs of uppers/lowers, magazines, buffer/spring lengths, barrel nuts, handguards, bolts, etc. Gotta do your homework before purchasing components for the 308 AR type rifles [/QUOTE]
