What are the differences between the AR15 and AR10 lite rails? They look the same maybe except the barrel nut, looking to see if I can use one on a DPMS .308; since I have 2...:D

Yes you can just be sure to specify that you are going to hook it up to a DPMS so you get the right barrel nut.

I'm 99% sure that an AR10 rail will not work on a DPMS. Different thread sizes on the receiver. IIRC the DPMS is the same as Knights Armament SR25s (Stoner rifles).

I'm not sure which way your question is headed, as I thought you meant you wanted to use a DD Lite (AR15) rail on an AR10, and that won't work.

If your question was involving the barrel nuts, DD makes two different barrel nuts to accomodate the different styles of .308 weapons (as already posted).

Damn no joy then, Stick that is exactly what I meant...I thought just getting the right barrel nut is all that's needed.....thanks all.

The rear section is completely different and not interchangable between 15/10 families.
The 308 barrel nuts are obviously bigger.
Seperate barrel nut for Armalite and DPMS.
Seperate barrel nut wrench for each as well.
