I have a stripped. DPMS .308 lower and a bag of ar15 5.56 lower parts, besides the takedown and piviot pins being different between the two, what else is spacific to the .308 lower, or said another way, what parts from the 5.56 lower will work in the .308 lower? I only want to purchase what I have to in order to complete the .308 lower. Thanks for any help.

  Just buy a 308 lower parts kit. All the parts are wider and longer.

  An expert from another board said all that nearly all of the parts are the same with the following exceptions: The Take Down and Pivot Pins, the Bolt Latch uses a Screw instead of a roll pin to hold it in place. The Buffer Spring and Buffer have to be changed to match the .308 upper. So in reality there are only 5 parts out of 30 that are unique between a DPMS .308 lower and DPMS 5.56/.223 lower.
