Bought A DPMS AR15

[slow944]

I picked up a used DPMS AR15 today at my LGS. I've heard good thinks about them and wondered who else on here has one. Thanks for the input.

They are pretty good guns. I have one of their LR-308 rifles and one of my AR's has some DPMS parts in it. They have both been good to me so far.

Next thing I would do is go out and get at least 1000 rounds of good ammo and some good magazines. Then head to the range and run it hard.

DPMS is good product.

There are many like it. That one is yours.

Which one did you get and where are the pics? I just got a sportical the other day but Ive yet to take it out but it seems really nice.

A friend of mine has an AP4 carbine from them, its a very nice gun.

I've been thinking about a DPMS in .243 Win. Anything weird about this, or is it just as it appears, a .308 with a different barrel?

Congrats, good for you, and thank you.

Enjoy!

I know a guy who uses an Armalite .243 AR10 type rifle for hunting coyote.
Shoots very well and gets a lot of attention from the bolt gun shooters.
It isn't kind to the cartridge cases.

DPMS produces some very decent rifles for the money.

Sweeeeet! I'm glad I picked it up (actually put it on lay-away), should be able to get it out in a couple of weeks.

The .243 DPMS would be the same as the .308 with a 6mm bore.

Does the 7mm-08 use .308 mags?

I have the AP4. I like it alot. Was considering a range trip today in fact.

I'd post pics but I'm too lazy right now.

The question is: where am I going to get the grenade launcher that's supposed to mount to the thing.

You'll enjoy your shooter. I enjoy mine.

What, no pics??

I only use DPMS lowers on my AR builds. The finish is hard to beat and they match up nice to Colt and Bushy parts. I've used the lower parts kits also and have no complaints.

I have a Lo-Pro Classic that I bought when DPMS started putting together rifles. Free-Floated it with an inexpensive Hogue kit, bipod and 2X10 Mildot scope. Darn thing has never malfunctioned and is a tac driver. My second was a Bushmaster, although it is a great gun also, I cannot see where the extra $300 went. Congrats, and enjoy!

I just bought a DPMS stripped lower for a build project. Wasn't the most expensive, but my research revealed that a lower is pretty much a lower, as long as it is in spec.

Bought my first AR15 a few weeks ago ...it is the DPMS panther lite 16..Since, I have added a Quad rail, scope, red dot, Magpul trigger guard to eliminate that irritating gap behind the trigger guard. I think the finish on the DPMS is second to none, the tefflon finish helps the appearance and resist scratching... I think I am really going to like this gun.... Oh and it is .223

Pics posted!

Ok, I'll post pics of mine if the OP won't

 

[slow944]

Sorry guys but it's still at the LGS, I just put it on lay-away. When I get it out I'll post pics.
