    Everything is different. About the only parts that interchange is the trigger group and some other small parts here and there. Most all else is bigger and more expensive.

    Get a complete DPMS rifle if you want a 308.

    They are completely different, ;ower and upper, bolt, LPK, it is all different.

    Controls, function and design are similar but scale and parts are not.

    I think aims has the 5.45 uppers in stock. If you want some more power I think the 6.8spc is a great round between the .223 and the .308

    .22LR
    .223
    .243
    5.45mm
    5.7mm
    6.5mm
    6.8mm
