I am money tight, but want to get a foot into the AR world-- While I was looking to do a build from scratch, I stumbled across the DPMS Sportical---
I am no gun snob, so if you want to trash it, then in a constructive way do-- I am really looking for actual owners and people who have shot one--
First, I carried an A2 for 6 years in the Marines (0331) grunts-- I never used the FA except when using blanks-- which I never ever shot in my rifle after I was a corporal..., I am a righty, so the deflector is sort of not necessary for me, and the dust cover, while nice, is not that important or a deal breaker. My A2 had a broken spring for like 6 months and the cover flopped around, so I kept it secured with duct tape, electrical tape, or medical tape...
I would probably put a set of flip of UTGs on it and some sort of optics--not sure which-- but really down the line.
I figure that if I get it, I will keep it as is (except sights) until I can afford maybe a Colt-- or a Ruger (my good friends husband just got the Ruger AR and loves it)-- and then maybe get a different upper, or turn it into a dedicated .22--
Just wanted real world opinons, and please keep it High Road...
Thank you in advance...
