    AR10 308 armalite pattern lower. Question.

    I found a armalite pattern Ar10 308 lower yesterday from my LgS. Besides the upper to match, what parts do I need to use strictly for armalite pattern? Like. Mags, lower parts kit etc. thanks!!

      Hopefully it was the new AR-10A that uses Magpul mags.The One that uses m-14 mags Are tough to get mags.I know I have 2 of those rifles.Luckly I have a Gang of mags.

        The only difference between the Series A and Series B are the upper, the lower, the bolt catch and the magazine catch.

        The buffer, buffer spring, takedown and pivot pins are interchangeable between the two types.

        The rest of the parts are standard AR-15 parts.

          Magazine you can't use the magpul stuff.

          That's why the dpms stuff is sought after out here in California anyways.

          They still had a bunch of armature pattern stuff but meh

              Armalite Series A rifles use SR-25 mags.

                I'm looking at a aero m5 with a magpul lr/sr .308 magazine in it right now.

                I avoided arm pattern for this specific reason. You should probably check your source

                  Sr-25 is magpul magazine compatible right?

                      Series A uses SR-25 magazines. Series B uses the modified M-14 magazines

                        Also Correct, the Series B is the older Armalite design that uses modified M14 mags or the newer generation 2 series B mags.

                            Aero precision uses pmag ones. I just built one which is the M5E1 model.

                              I'm guessing you meant Series A, make sure you also get a Series A lower. They are not interchangeable.

                              Also, congratulations on your purchase.
