are there lower receivers specifically for .308's?
Posted on 2/22/13 at 9:53 am to Chad504boy
Yea, they have been pretty scarce though.
You really have to know what you are looking for, as I understand it, its not as simple as building an AR-15. There are some mags that certain lowers take and some they dont take, and some uppers dont match some lowers.
I have seen a few stripped upper/lower combos sold as well, I think for that very reason.

Pretty sure its the opposite, I dont even think they make .308 lowers.

My post was in assunption that you meant "their" instead of "there" in regards to the seekin lower he linked.

So I have an RRA stripped lower that I'm going to do a .300 BLK build with. I'm pondering which lower part kit to use and I've narrowed it down to the following:
1. CCMG - no buffer tube kit or stock, but probably the cheapest option and has good reviews
2. RRA - Only about $15-$20 more than the CMMG kit and also does not include buffer tube kit or stock. For some reason I feel like I should use an RRA kit with an RRA lower. I'm basing that on nothing though
3. Palmetto State - At least $50 more than the other two, but includes mil-spec buffer tube kit and stock. I could also wait for one to come in-stock that has Magpul furniture.
Anyone have thoughts/experience/guidance with these options? TIA

They do. It's an AR-10 variant
Armalite owns the AR-10 and there are very few 3rd party parts that match (Noveske barrels being one)
DPMS makes a .308 lower that is AR-10 like, but has more universal interchangeability. DPMS has a bad name in the AR-15 world, but they make good stuff for the .308. MEGA probably makes the most popular DPMS .308 stripped lower.

Where do you shoot? I'd like to come around and see a little bit of your assembly. I'm about to order a 80% lower and start my first build.

Thank you, that is all.

If you're wanting the Magpul, stock I'd get the RRA LPK and then order the buffer tube and Magpul stuff separately.

About $50 too much for me.

Damn, I had thought everything below 200 was decent

Well at least they're getting close. Thanks
Colorchangin, I don't have a set place to shoot. I go when I can with some friends from work who have land. When I want to shoot pistols I go to a range on Kirkman. I'm moving next week but we can get together after that.
