Madhouse one of the Administrators on the forum picked up this POF P-308 Upper recently. He will be mating it up with a matching lower shortly.
Aero Precision M5 Cerakote .308AR Stripped Lower Receiver
Aero Precision M5 Cerakote .308AR Stripped Lower Receiver
We are quite fond of the Aero Precision brand of AR15 hardware so as you can imagine we are pleased to see Aero Precision making a big entrance in to the 308 AR field with their DPMS compatible offerings. The Cerakoted lower pictured above is a fine looking piece of gear. We look forward to getting a matched set in our hands.
The Aero Precision M5 .308 Stripped Lower Receiver helps you build a big-bore AR from the ground up. Mil-spec dimensions and coating ensure the highest quality and correct component interface.

The Black Rain Ordnance receivers sets are gaining popularity on the forum as Brownells has had them in stock pretty regularly which obviously is critical given the current political climate. Black Rain Ordnance also does limited runs of special finishes. The skulls was a hit when available. The two finishes above are the standards. One being Milspec and the other being “Norguard” electroless nickel.
Specifications: Stripped AR-style .308 upper and lower receiver sets are fully machined from 7075 T6 billet aluminum and matched for ultra-stable full-contact fit without slop or rattles. These sets accept DPMS LR-308 pattern components to allow for the installation of a variety of aftermarket parts. Flattop uppers feature a T-marked MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail. Lowers have an integral triggerguard for maximum structural rigidity, and have pictogram selector markings for safe, fire, and three-round burst firing positions. Accepts DPMS-pattern magazines, including the Magpul .308 PMAG. Available in with Parkerized finish or the Nor-Guard™ electroless nickel finish for outstanding resistance to corrosion and surface wear.
FULTON ARMORY is well-known for manufacturing very high quality rifles with premium materials a reasonable price. Fulton Armory rifles feature premium barrels from Douglas and Krieger blanks. Fulton Armory rifles are DPMS compatible to utilize LR-308/SR-25 and Magpul Pmags.
The receiver picatinney rail is the height of the original DPMS receiver.

Available with 18″ barrel of 4140 chrome-moly (CM) carbon steel alloy and 7¼” carbine-length forend, or 24″ bull barrel of 416 stainless steel (SS) with 12″ rifle-length forend.

Build your ultimate hunting, tactical or target rifle without having to compromise. The MA-TEN will be sold only in sets (upper and lower) including a charging handle, threaded bolt catch pin, take down pins, tensioning screw, and door. This was done to guarantee the best possible upper to lower fit and finish. Using the MA-TEN platform also allows you the most options on your next build.
The images below are from my set purchased February 2011
Armalite pioneered the 308 Winchester AR platform. There is probably no other manufacturer with as many upper receiver options as Armalite. Armalite offers upper receivers for every purpose from hunting, competition, personal protection, and military applications. Armalite is battle proven. Additionally Armalite can build one-of-a-kind upper receivers in their Premier Rifles Division.
Below are a few pictures of my SI DEFENSE GENERATION II .308 AR STRIPPED UPPER RECEIVER. If anybody viewing this has a clue what the side picatinny rail is for please drop me a line.
Here’s another company selling their UPPER and LOWER RECEIVERS in sets. This fine set belongs to DNP on the forum. Thanks to DNP for these pictures.
TACTICAL MACHINING has some interesting offerings. You can purchase the stripped upper/lower lower, an 80% upper/lower that requires you to do the final 20% machining or complete receiver sets. There are plans to offer complete rifles in the near future.
Below is an example of the TACTICAL MACHINING 308 AR STRIPPER UPPER RECEIVER. This upper receiver fits DPMS pattern lower receivers as well as TACTICAL MACHINING’S own.
Note: This page remains in place for historic value as it relates to early AR 308, AR-10 and 308 AR development. Today the AR 308/308 AR platform is a pretty standard offering for many AR and rifle manufacturers.

Note: This CMMG information is for historic purposes only. CMMG now offers DPMS AR 308/308 AR receivers.
CMMG has some real interesting stripped lower receivers. Two are DPMS upper receiver compatible and the third is Armalite The most intriguing of the three though is the DPMS compatible lower that utilizes some of most least expensive and readily available magazines on the planet, H&K G3 magazines.
In addition to stripped lowers CMMG also builds lowers customized with a wide choice of options.
Upper is compatible with DPMS .308 upper receivers with minor modification to upper receiver to allow for clearance of wider G3 magazine. With new mags available $3-5, this is a combo that cannot be beat. Lower is compatible with most popular aftermarket triggers currently on the market.

Love them or hate them DPMS making 308 AR parts available is without a doubt largely responsible for giving the platform legs. It’s where all this started for me.
Iron Ridge Arms manufactures some of the nicest looking receivers to be found. They are available in DPMS LR-308,SR25 and Armalite AR-10 patterns.

Stripped, semi-auto lower receiver is fully machined from U.S.-sourced 7075 T6 aluminum billet for superb strength and precise dimensions. Extra metal in the right places gives a big payoff in added support and rigidity with minimal extra weight. AR-style .308 accepts mil-spec and aftermarket accessories, so you can select the upper receiver, receiver extension, trigger group, pistol grip, and buttstock that best serve your needs — the perfect foundation for a custom tactical rifle. Integral, oversized triggerguard, machined as part of the receiver, further enhances structural rigidity and provides plenty of clearance for trigger finger when wearing gloves. Radiused inside and outside edges protect finger from cuts and scrapes when mounting weapon quickly or during extended fire. Flared magwell with smoothly radiused inside corners helps ensure fast reloads, without fumbling, when seconds count. Cut for ambidextrous bolt release to allow strong- or weak-hand operation; right-side button included with receiver. Easy-to-see laser etched, international “fire” and “safe” symbols give the operator instant, intuitive feedback on the weapon’s safety status in high-stress situations. Mil-spec hardcoat anodized for additional surface strength and corrosion resistance before application of the hard, self-lubricating Teflon® outer coating that’s almost impervious to abrasion and scratches. All heat-treatment, plating, and coatings are applied by U.S.-owned and operated contractors.

The MCR (Multi-Caliber-Rifle) series rifles are chambered in a long list of calibers, from 9mm to 338 Lapua and pretty much everything in between.
MCR stands for Multi-Caliber-Rifle and it is built on the AR type design. MCR Semi-Automatic rifles come in four different models which interchange with each other from one series to the next. To change calibers for example from a .223 (MCR100) to .308 (MCR200) you simply change the upper receiver and magazine module.
To change calibers on the same series rifle from one caliber to another within the same series for example, on an MCR400 from 300 Winchester Magnum to 338 Lapua Magnum you simply change out the barrel and bolt.
Lower receivers and magazine module made out of T6-6061aircraft aluminum. AR type pistol grip and butt stock. AR type trigger group parts that interchange with standard AR’s.
The Cobb system is propriety and will not work with Armalite or DPMS uppers. The Cobb MCR utilizes HK G3 magazines
Cobb was purchased by Bushmaster and it’s fate is unclear
Hesse had quality issues and sold the design to Vulcan.They have a reputation of being low quality under both names.
Remington .308 AR Rifles are rebadged DPMS. They are part of the same company.
Bushmaster had some issues with their .308 AR’s and sold the design to Rock River Arms who solved the problems. Update: Bushmaster is back in the .308 AR game. The Bushmaster 308 ORC is a re-badged DPMS LR-308.
Update – Early 2011 Freedom Group is closing the Bushmaster plane in Maine and consolidating the Bushmaster line with their DPMS line. Who knows if Bushmaster brand name will continue.
