I am getting ready to build a 308. Looking at barrels it seems that there are some that are for the Armalite AR-10, and then others for DPMS. What is the difference in barrels?
 
Re: Difference between 308 barrels

Depends on the style of the lower reciever what barrel you need. If you're using a AR10 Armalite lower using their magazine style then you'll need a Armalite barrel or more specifically the barrel extension.

If you're going with the DPMS/SR25/M110 style then the barrel extension will need to be a DPMS formated extension.

Other than that barrel makers will cut what ever options you want. Twist rate, length, profile ect.
