AR: DPMS or Del-Ton?

[cnynrat]

I like the McFarland one piece gas ring, the heavier the carrier the better, forged mid length upper (chrome) w/flat-top, swan rail w/integral rear sight topped off w/Comp-M w/ARD.

I use a storage hand grip and keep a spare bolt assembly/broken shell extractor/ along w/other parts that can be easily lost in the field. In the many decades I've used the AR-M16 platform I've had a few bolt failures at critical moments not a good feeling, but backup fixed it.

Drums are my preferred method of feed, yea I know it's a bit much but "I can & drums too".

Since Tacodoc lives in CA, it should be noted this wouldn't be a legal configuration in CA. Here's a link to a good resource for evaluating what can and can't be done with respect to semi-automatic rifles in CA: Calguns Flowchart

What no full auto, or?

What no full auto, or?

If you are asking about the specific issue with this gun, we are not allowed to have magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds on a semiautomatic centerfire rifle that is configured with one of more of the proscribed "evil features" (pistol grip, flash hider, collapsible/folding stock, thumbhole stock, grenade or flare launcher) unless it happens to be a registered AW.


Yes, yes, I know, but please don't rub it in!

Hey Tacodoc - I happened to run across this thread over on Calguns: Helping "Budget" AR Newbies

You might find some useful information there if you are still contemplating building your own AR.

Well, have 'ya built one yet? Can't really say you've got a case of black rifle disease until you've built at least one from scratch

Excellent choice Dave, thats arguably one of the best value AR's on the market right now. Now you've got the bug...

Thanks. I'm really liking it. Quite an upgrade over what I set out to purchase initially but I'm glad I went for a higher quality setup.

Tacodoc if you need any help or parts or anything at all regarding your AR let me know. I live close to you, I'm an 01 FFL and I am a dealer for lots of companies regarding AR stuff. I'll take care of you if you want some accessories to even include optics.

Oh and ive got a nice little private property spread to legally shoot on complete with real target stands and ar500 steel. I'm a LEO as my primary job and the side business I mentioned above.
