| I just read in a few year old post on another forum that there are only 3 parts in a .308 lower parts kit that are different than the AR15 LPK. They were listed as the pivot and takedown pins and the bolt catch screw. Is this correct? I ask as I am in need of a LR308 LPK and already have a couple for AR15's. I'm getting a bit concerned as I watch them sell for over $200 on GB. If the above statement is correct, any reason I can't locate just the necessary parts and have the AR15 LPK work just fine with the three repalcement parts....in my LR308 lower. Thanks... |
| These are new Ar15 LPK's. Do I still need that 4th part...bolt stop or am I gtg with what I already have with the originally listed 3 different parts? Thanks for your input and patience with these questions. I may try to locate a part by part comparison chart to assist me. Thanks. |

I don't think you really "NEED" the bolt stop BUT - I don't see why DPMS would have went through the trouble of engineering/making/listing a new part if it wasn't at least a little improvement over the existing part. And being held by a set screw, it should be easy to swap out if/when you get the 308 specific bolt catch. YMMV |
