[QUOTE="freelunch, post: 343607, member: 14655"] I have a DPMS LR308B. The magazine is made for cartridges 2.83" inches in length while the AR-15 magazine is made for cartridges of 2.3" in length which includes (6.5 Grendel, 6.8, 223, 50 Beowulf). So the magazine is that much shorter in length in the AR 15 versus the DPMS 308 class, and the AR15 magazine is also less in width. The Aramalite 308 even uses a different magazine than the DPMS 308 and they will not work in each others rifles. The DPMS 308 uses the same magazine as Knight's Armament. So, the magazine well is greatly different in size comparing the AR10 versus the AR15. The DPMS comes in 338 Federal, 308, 7-08, 260 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 243 flavors. Some 300 RSAUM exist, but DPMS no longer makes them. The takedown pins for the AR10 are 0.275" diameter, while those for the AR15 are 0.247" diameter. So the answer is no doing it easily, but I guess a Frankengun could be cobbled up with enough money and time. [/QUOTE]
