Cure me of some ignorance on DPMS .308 ARs

[Double-edged]

Does a standard AR15 Geiselle trigger work in a DPMS .308 lower?

Does a Bravo Company grip fit the DPMS .308 lower?

Does a Magpul UBR stock work with the DPMS .308 lower? It seems that I've read that it does but needs a different buffer.

Does the .308 use the same recoil spring as the .260 version?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

.260 and .308 will use the same recoil spring.

I am not sure about the DPMS lowers but I know my Mega lower which uses the same general pattern as a dpms uses ar-15 components.

Magpul had to make a spacer for their MIAD grips because the top strap did not completely compress this spring in place properly. Mine seemed to work fine without the spacer ( I ordered the spacer anyway because the gap bothered me). Just be aware of it. </span>

I recommend the slash heavy buffer(5.6oz) and modified spring since the receiver extension that comes with the UBR isn't the same specs as a factory 308 carbine receiver extension. You can use the slash buffer and spring with a standard 308 carbine receiver extension if you decide later to go that route.

Yep. They're all the same mounting there.

Yep. The buffer tubes are all the same. As for the buffer, same again. If you're firing it off the bench, a heavier buffer isn't a bad idea since you don't care about how fast the action cycles.
