There need to be 308 uppers as well.

I want to build a couple AR-10 and DPMS/308's and would like them to basicly be the same. If not I would at least like to see AR-10 uppers to go with the LT rails. The DPMS can sport the other rails.

I have asked Mark & co for a DPMS barrel nut for their rails for years.  No luck.  Armalite uses 18tpi threads and DPMS/KAC use 16tpi.  So its just a thread pitch change.

Last time I actually got an answer, it was something like:

Me:  "Hey Mark can you make a barrel nut for us DPMS folks?"
ML:  "All 2 of you?"

even IF it really where only 2 people I'm still suprized they wont make you one. although I'm sure they have the whole shop buzzin to get all the stuff out. maybe there just isnt time for one off stuff.

Its just the barrel nut thread pitch.  DPMS is making 308s as fast as they can, Fulton, JP, Remington, KAC all use the same threads, so there has to be a market there.  Semi autos are ruling sniper competitions these days.  

If Daniel Defense, PRI, Badger, VTac, SWS etc can do it?  I was surprised LaRue would concede the market to someone else.

Still would like to see some 308 uppers.

Yeah I'm interested too since I'm about to purchase a DPMS LR 6.5 Creedmoor, and I really liked the one that I had on my Quad-S. So... that would make 3 of us???

I'd have loved a LaRue rail system for either of my LR308s but went with the SWS rail instead.   You'd think it would be pretty simple to make another barrel nut.  My SWS rail is actually the AR10 RS2 with a DPMS nut.   I imagine something similar could work out for LaRue unless they dont use a seperate barrel nut??
