If it is approximately 12-1/2 inches it is a rifle length system, if it is approximately 9 inches it is a Midlength and 7 inches for a Carbine length. 308 rifles - there are two basic types of 308 "size" AR rifles, often referred to as DPMS or Armalite "compatible" rifles. The parts, magazines etc do not interchange. For an easy way to differentiate between the two styles of rifles, look at the rear bottom of the upper receiver. A DPMS compatible rifle has a rounded edge while an Armalite has an angled edge. We offer a coupler nut for both types.
