hello,
as of 2024, who are the current sources of ar10 parts for DPMS Gen 2 , LR-308`s &  DP10`s?

since JJE  purchased the Dpms brand & now part of PSA, is PSA the only source?
the last i asked PSA about this they really didnt give me a straight answer.

looking for proprietary & cross compatible parts for all the above.

also, is any Dpms rifle/lower that has the panther brand on the lower since 2021 made by PSA?

thanks for any leads!

I bought some AR308 parts at good prices from CDNN when they had sales. Also B. King firearms for parts a Aero barrels.

thnx, i looked up CDNN a couple of days ago. i read in a post from another forum from back 3 or 4 yrs ago (308ar.com) i believe.
the poster said when JJE acquired dpms, CDNN rounded up a slew of their parts to sell.
now they dont have about anything if your looking for proprietary parts.

i`ll check the other one you mentioned. thnx again. if you happen to notice anything while browsing
the web, please let me know.

just emailed B. King.  this is what i asked...

just got an answer from ar15.com from a post i put up. was looking for
proprietary parts for

dpms gen 2 308`s ( i have the gen2 w/ the 24in stainless bull bbl.)

also have a Dpms DP10 18in. ( i believe it was made in 2022 or 2023)
might be a PSA?

wondering if any of your LR308 parts will work with either of my rifles.

thank you for your time!

this is what they replied...

call me ignorant but what did he mean by a "high rail" ?  not familiar.

this is the dp10 i just purchased...
https://dpmsinc.com/dpms-dp10-18-rifle-length-308-win-1-10-nitride-a2-rifle-odg.html

i believe same just not a stainless bbl.

and thanks a bunch for all the detail!!!!

edit...the gen2 is the one i was most concerned about. because it is one hell of an accurate shooter.
just as good if not more accurate than my arma. 10t target!

yes it is definitely chromed lined and stamping on lower is west columbia, s.c....definitely PSA.
but no markings on the viewable part of bbl. i can see some stamping thru the holes in the plastic handguard
but they are a bitch to get off & on so i`m not going to bother.

as far as the gen ii, it is a highrail. i measured from the pics...its exactly .210

yes i am going to try to find spare parts for the gen ii & Arma if i can. even if i have to fork over a fortune
for duplicates. i`m retired now and have lots of time for doing what i do best...shoot!
