Thank you sir.
Good things to consider.
Most likely will go with the Rainier barrel. And yes - their "new and improved" website totally stinks.
Hope they have to common sense to realize this in a hurry.

Wanted to follow up on our earlier posts, try to keep this current and on topic.
The links to the info on arf.com is welcome and a lot of stuff to digest, though considering what's happening and will be happening some of is is already somewhat incomplete: clearly there's going to be a surge in building .308 AR's, seeing as how there's a bunch of new players getting into it.
Several threads here already seem to cover similar issues, clearly demonstrating we're on the right track.
We've already seen there's an utter and total lack of TDP type standardization, so some form of a comprehensive chart showing compatibility and lack thereof would be more than welcome - some of you are already working on this, your efforts are greatly appreciated - I am sure we're all looking forward to the results.

I just so happen to have an extra A5 extension laying around, I understand about using the A5/rifle spring; so THIS is what I would need, in addition to an H3 buffer?
Another option for a collapsible stock buffer system is to use a standard AR/M4 receiver extension with the CAR-10 buffer and spring from www.heavybuffers.com. I have two 308 ARs with this setup. I have yet to see a malfunction after over 2k rounds. If you want a fixed stock, you can use a standard A2 receiver extension with a 308AR fixed stock buffer and spring from the same place. This is an affordable and easy option.
Yes, if you get the rifle action spring in your link (308BS10B) it'll work with the A5 RE and H3 buffer. Here's a link to the Armalite spring as well.
Going with that pattern is far less affordable once you start playing around with buffers. Slash's stuff is nice, but not cheap (you can buy a whole AR-10 pattern buffer system system for the price of one of his buffers!). IMO going this route only makes sense if you bought a rifle that already has this format and you don't know how/have the tools to swap it for an AR-10 pattern to change buffers, or if you need the absolute shortest LOP.

There's no need to play around with buffers. Slash's stuff works and while you're playing around I'm out shooting. I have thousands of trouble free rounds with an 308AR I slapped together. I used a Colt receiver extension and slash's car-10 buffer and spring. Some of you guys are way overthinking this thing.

Heaven forbid anyone ever wanting to change their buffer to optimize their system more or decide to go suppressed later! **** it, all you people with H, H2, H3 buffers and springco white, blue, green are just wasting your time since a milspec spring and CAR buffer will work! You don't need that extra stuff and are just overthinking it! Just ask any old plinker at the range who's fired thousands of wolf ammo through his AR reliably!
While your at it screw those hand-loaders too! Don't they know factory ammo works just fine? There's no need for them to optimize their loads and play around with things either! Factory ammo just works!
Ludicrous.

Like I said you play with all of your buffers and colors meanwhile I'm out doing some meaningful shooting. I've shot thousands of rounds, I'd have to look at my log to know the exact number, without one problem and I just shot another 800 rounds today while you were playing with your colors and letters and typing here. You keep typing and playing with colors and letters and I'll go shoot some more ammo. Like I said before, some of you guys are way overthinking the whole thing. But hey don't take my word for it I've only been shooting thousands of rounds while you're trying to match your purse with your shoes.
Let's all lower the temperatures, shall we?
It would be nice if this thread could be a useful reference, rather than a bad example. Let's stay on track, please.
