AR-10, 308 AR/AR308, DPMS G2 Barrel Extensions
We frequently get inquiries from shooters looking for AR-10 Barrel Extensions. Of course if you have been following this site long enough you know that they probably are not looking for AR-10 barrel extensions but instead in most cases looking for DPMS LR-308 compatible 308 AR/AR308 barrel extensions. Furthermore if one has the skills to mate a barrel and barrel extension why limit themselves to Armalite AR-10 bolt carrier groups.
Barrel Extension Considerations
- Armalite AR-10 and DPMS Compatible Barrel Extensions are different. The require different bolts.
- The barrel extension dictates the bolt to be used with the carrier
- AR-10 can use a DPMS barrel with a DPMS barrel and barrel extension as long as a DPMS 308 bolt is used
- DPMS platform can use an AR-10 barrel and barrel extension as long as an AR-10 bolt is used
- Do not use the same bolt with more than one barrel. Every barrel extension/barrel combination requires it’s own dedicated bolt.
- Theoretically AR-10 and DPMS 308 Bolt Carriers are interchangeable as long as the bolt style matches the barrel extension
- DPMS G2 (DPMS GII) is not compatible with AR-10 or DPMS 308 barrel extensions. G2 is a different platform completely
Note: While above we state the interchangeability between AR-10 and DPMS platforms we feel it is bad practice and unnecessary to mix the brands.
Note: To date the only place we know to acquire an actual AR-10 barrel extension is from Armalite. DPMS is the standard most manufacturers have adopted. Be careful when a seller refers to AR-10. If compatibility isn’t clear and obvious contact the manufacturer or vendor.
