I bought an Aero Precision AR-10 lower years ago with an Armalite style straight angle cut before the buffer tube hole, but now they seem to be making it in DPMS pattern with curved cut.  When did they make the change?

Many years ago I believe.

Looks like everybody's going with the DPMS pattern.  Stag Arms makes theirs with straight cut, but they emphatically told me it is not compatible with Armalite.

worth mentioning, the radius of the curved cut on the Aero Precision is slightly different than the actual DPMS.  I forget which one has the larger radius.

They stopped making Armalite style receivers years ago, 2009 i think. Then, recently, maybe 2 or 3 years ago they released the M5 receivers. Which in my opinion, they've totally dropped the ball on.

Pass it, get an Armalite.
