It's a fair offer I believe. Thank you. I'm not mad, not sure why. I could have been hurt, the gun could have been destroyed, who knows. But oddly, I'm just upset that I'm not able to shoot it. Frustrated that I can't contact them. Wondering if I'm waiting around just to hear "You bought it, buzz off", or Heck we'll just send out another, keep that one on us" (dreaming). I'm pretty used to it though. If there is a lemon in the batch, I'll be the one to get it.
What the heck did I buy? AR-15

Pm sent.
I got someone to answer the phone today. They got hit pretty hard, still no power. The store was running on a generator. He wasn't intrested in talking about any Gunbroker issues at all. Said someone would answer my emails when they got around to it. I didn't push him, figure they have enough problems. Sucks, I have a fresh case of M-193 waiting....

That's a bummer bro. Still know a guy with an upper, just in time for the 4th!

Why not just buy receiver blocks, barrel nut wrench and a 5.56 barrel? Swap barrels and save or sell the 6.8 barrel.

Whilst not terribly costly, you'd also need a new bolt, and when all that is added up it starts creeping up in price.
FWIW I would hold off till you get a definite answer from the shop you purchased from. If they don't agree to make it right in the next couple of days (you have given them more than adequate time, as they are now responding to comments on their Facebook page, so they should have time to resolve your issue) I would leave them poor feedback and contact the BBB for a resolution. This is just poor business practice.
On the bright side, you did get a few upgrades like the Magpul furniture and quad rail (w/ covers). I wish you luck in getting what you want (and were promised in your purchase agreement).

Please forgive my nosiness but curiosity got the best of me, so I did a mite bit of research and found it (I won't expound on how, because you don't want it to be known, but beware of what you post on the internet). Again, forgive my nosiness and rest assured that I'll not divulge the seller's information.

I think that would be wise, and I hope they offer you a reasonable solution.

I have the correct store. They posted in response to a comment (regarding another GunBroker purchase where the buyer was having trouble reaching them...oh, the irony) on Monday. Look down a couple of spots and you should see it (under Elmo
).Because he bought a RRA 5.56, not the DPMS 6.8 he received. Seller should make it right, especially as it sounds like they are a business and not just a misinformed private seller.

Im in indiana i also cannot use a 6.8 except for yotes...but tbey made the 450 bushmaster, 458 socom and 50 beowulf legal here....thats a lot of knockdown power if ur looking for a short range gun...downfall would be price of ammo

They give you any indication on what they plan on doing to rectify?
Now I'm on a 6.8 kick cuz of this thread...dang. Posted my lower on Armslist in hopes I could get one someday.
They contacted me today. I was offered a full refund plus shipping costs if I return the whole rifle. I asked if there was anything else that they could do, specifically that I would like to keep the lower since it is RRA and what I was after. Haven't heard back yet.

I'd almost make ya a better deal than before, but if you can get a refund, might be worth waiting. I'd still love to have that upper.

Glad to hear that they are willing to make it right.
