The ar-10 does not accept ar-15 handguards or grips. The stock look slike an a-2 stock, but the buffer tube is different, so I'm guessing it is different as well. especially since magpul also distinguishes between ar-10 and ar-15
The way cut for the mating of the upper and the lower is different on the ar-10, DPMS, and SR-25, and rock river LAR-8.
The armalite uses their own, or modified m-14 mags.
The DPMS and sr-25 use the same mags.
The Lar-8 uses FAL mags.
AT the least the RRA, armalite, and dpms also use different barrel nuts.
they all take ar-15 trigger groups to the best of my knowledge. However, lots of fancy ar-15 triggers won't work right due to hammer mass and velocity vs. harder large rifle primers. timney, ar gold have ar-10 specific trigger groups. Jp has an ar-10 specific spring set. The knights armament two stage works well, and also armalites own two stage. Most triggers will work with match quality ammo, but not necessarily surplus.
The DPMS is cheaper than the rest, very accurate, and thus getting the most aftermarket support and 3rd party uppers and lowers that use their mating pattern (for lack of a good official word for it in my vocabulary).
Bought an AR-10, would rather have a DPMS or the cash back in my pocket.
Probably the cash. I'm not too thrilled by what you get when you scale up the AR platform and try to use it in a manner other than benched or prone, but that's me.
I lust after the kel-tec RFB though, so I still really would like a handy semi-auto 308 that is decently accurate.
