I just built my first AR15 lower tonight to attach my spikes upper i bought. It went together very easily and i was smiling the entire time like wow i was so intimidated but this is pretty easy.

 

So anyway after i attached the buffer tube i went to unwrap the spring and buffer which i got from Hamlund Tactical when i purchased my Magpul PRS AR-15 Sniper Stock Black (MPIMAG307B). The issue is both the spring and buffer said DPMS 308 AR Standard. My stock is for an AR15 not a 10 so i am assuming it ws just an error on their part. Also know since i purchased this stock in April doubt customer service will assist me. Anyway i did a test fit and was able to actually completely assembled the rifle and the was able to dry fire the weapon.

 

What is if any downside of the AR10 spring and buffer in AR15?

 

Thanks

I would contact HT and explain what happened. Hopefully they will make good on it. I have no experience with HT so maybe others can chime in on that.

 

 

The 308 Buffer is shorter due to the longer 308 Bcg. (see below)

 

 

 

 

Thanks

 

They are out of Texas so i will give them a call this afternoon.

 

I still want to buy a different stock as i was planning on using my PRS one on a longer AR.

Stan Lundrigan replied to my email and is sending out the correct parts to me. Now that is how a company should be run.
