Perhaps in a year or two, we'll be discussing whether other .308's are MP10 compatible.
Fact is: The DPMS platform IS what the M&P 10 is.
The bolt IS interchangeable with the DPMS. Extractors, barrels, etc. are all interchangeable.

The Bolt would only be proprietary due to headspacing. An AR 10 bolt will fit in a DPMS rifle, with the exception of incorrect headspacing.

So, other than the S&W logo, the rifles are pretty much the same.
