Any AR-10 gurus out there?

I have a project rifle. At this time I have a lower parts kit, a lower and upper receiver and a few questions.

1 can I use a AR-15 tube and A2 buttsock? I know I will need a AR-10 spring and buffer.
2 What part if any are interchangeable?
3 where do you get parts and other info for building an AR-10.

Thanks Rod
 
If you are building an armalite based rifle their website will clue you in using
part numbers. I believe the butt stocks are the same as are the trigger groups.
Also the pistol grip I think. Everything else is ar10 specific.
 
Through the entire AR-10 lower assembly, you will need these specific parts that are different from an AR-15:

Buffer
Operating spring
Bolt-catch
Front pivot pin.
Rear take-down pin.

The ArmaLite site says, or at least used to say, that the magazine catch assembly was different, but I have not been able to see any difference between the "AR-10" part and the ones I use in the AR-15's every day.
