    New DPMS models


    Does anyone know if the new AR-style rifles use the same barrel shank/threading? i.e. can you swap a standard shank barrel for an AR barrel?

    The standard tenon on an AR-15 is .812-16 tpi x .620.

    What do you mean by "new style"? Didn't know any thing changed.

    "...shall not be infringed" What's the confusion?

    Nothing new about AR's. What's new is that Savage is making them.

    I was selling a 10/110 barrel and the buyer wanted to know if it would fit the DPMS. At first I did not know what he was talking about, then it dawned on me... Savage's AR-15's that just came out.

    To answer his question, "No, it won't work on the AR."

    Not to mention it does not have a gas port or a fit for a gas block.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Now I am feelin downright foolish!

    The guy asked if it would fit, not whether it would work.
