Dpms .223-5.56 ??

[Allen in MT]

Bought this used DPMS Panther Arms .223-5.56. Looking at DPMS web site I see under the FAQ that if the serial number has a K at the end of it, it was built by someone other than DPMS.
Watching video's on u-tube I see some that are called DPMS Oracle which looks like the one I have but not sure. So what exactly is the DPMS Oracle?? and who built it??
The scope is a 4-16 Center Point which I think is a little much so will be looking to change it out along with the bi-pod for something different.
Put 40 rounds thru it yesterday and seems to be a great little shooter.
thanks in advance for any info provided

The K means it was a stripped lower and not a part of a factory built gun. Depending on the parts used and the skill of the assembler, it has the potential to be better or worse than a factory built oracle. It was built by an individual, not another factory or DPMS location separate from the main DPMS facility.

This one may have all of the same parts as an Oracle, but was pieces together by an individual.

"pieced". Sorry- auto correct.
