I am doing a bit of planning for my next build which will be a .308 around the Mega MA-Ten.

I want to use the Magpul ACS stock.
Standard Milspec carbine extension tube.
Armalite AR10 Recoil Spring.
Slash's Carbine buffer for AR15 tubes.

Is this the correct combination?

YEP.  That's it.  Slash is gonna love us MA-TEN buyers.  :)

Will the DPMS Buffer and Spring work also?  Isn't it a shortend buffer for ar15 tubes similar to slash's?

It will work also, I think the Slash one is supposed to reduce some of the speed at which that heavy 308 BCG slams back into the buffer tube, also, reducing felt recoil.

I went with Slash's option because of this.  I bought the lightest parts possible for my 16" MATEN build, so any reduction in recoil is a good thing. :)

MagPul actually officially recommends Slash's heavy 308 CAR buffer to use with their stocks specifically for this scenerio/reason.

More good info. Thanx

You can also use VLTOR AR10 extensions with H3 buffers.  It costs a bit less.

I was wondering about that.
So the Magpul ACS will work on this OK?
Does the VLTOR come with the Castle nut and endplate?
