I've recently purchased this Armalite complete lower, from 762SASS, and I am planning on sending my stripped Armalite upper to GAP for their "Precision AR10 Build".
I have a few questions about some of the parts I will be needing to buy though.
http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=L10PCB&Category=8780cda4-b901-4b0c-bc96-d7c6ca2b924a
1. Magpul PRS Stock for AR10: I hear there is a "Gen II", so I'm hoping this is the one I will need, as I don't know the difference between this, and a GEN I.
Anyhow, if you take a look at the link above, you will see the complete lower I bought, with 6 position collapsible stock, direct from Armalite. Now will the Magpul PRS AR10 stock work with this buffer tube, OR will I have to replace that buffer tube/receiver extension, for the PRS stock to work???
2. In regards to BCG's, I have ONLY seen Armalite BCG's, for about $257, and then of course there are DPMS and KAC BCG's. I have heard that the Armalite and SR25/DPMS BCG's are NOT interchangeable, so I guess I'll be ordering an Armalite complete BCG. Now I have NOT seen ANY mention of MPI tested bolts, shot peening bolts, etc, so I would like to know if anyone can shed light on the Armalite BCG's??? I mean, I think they are going to be my only option, so I will be stuck ordering one, regardless of how well they are made, but what are the findings on them? Are they MPI'd? Shot peened bolts? Etc?
I realize I can restake the carrier key if needed, so that's not a problem.
Is there ANY other option aside from the Armalite/Noveske BCG's???
3. What kind of buffer do I need to be using in this 20" AR10, w/ rifle length gas system??? In the lower that I purchased (shown above), Armalite included an "H3" buffer, and I did not think that was to be used in a 20" rifled length AR10, but I could be wrong.
If you scroll down to the buffers that Noveske sells in this link, you will see TWO buffer options: "H3 Carbine Buffer" -and- "7.62 Rifle Buffer".

Therefore, I am a little confused here.
4. Final Question for now. In the link way up above, showing the Armalite lower I bought, WHAT type of buffer tube do I have with this lower? Is it a "RIFLE" buffer tube? Carbine buffer tube?? It appears from Noveskes site, there are two (or more) different LENGTHS of buffer tubes for AR10's, I'm just a little confused here. Trying to get all these AR10 specs down here.
5. If I have GAP install a Bartlein, or other high quality 20" bbl in this gun, WHAT CHAMBER should I ask for? Jeff at GAP says they use a "308 Auto" chamber, which I had never heard of. A couple guys on another forum recommend I ask for an "M852 chamber", and then Noveske uses a "Nm Mod 1" chamber (I think that's right).
How do I go about making the right decision here? I want to get as MUCH accuracy as I can out of this gun, WITHOUT having to worry about all kinds of ammo not working. I don't want to be limited to ONLY rare, limited ammo, that I can never find. However, I certainly will be using the highest quality ammo that is available to me. I don't mind buying that special BH's 7.62 ammo that Noveske sells. I just need to figure out which chamber to have GAP cut in my bbl? I don't want to be sorry that I chose xxx chamber, on down the road. What chamber should I choose, and HOW do I make a decision on what chamber to use?
Thanks for your help with this build guys.
