USPH2, We have yet to receive your bolt. Can you track the package? Still waiting... Hey DPMS, you guys ever get the faulty BCG? You know it's not cool to drag a company's name through the mud without cause. I've been asking for a pic since this thread was first posted. The first excuse was not knowing how to post a pic and then it was that the BCG was returned for replacement (But never actually received?). I'm wondering if this ever happened at all or was just newbie BS talk. |

I have a 7" pistol upper that is all DPMS parts. Aside from putting together some God awfully ugly configurations, they make good stuff at reasonable prices.

Nope, he was on less than an hour ago posting about his next build, a middy. He needs to come in here and explain to DPMS why he never returned the "Cracked" BCG. No I have not returned it as of yet... I bought a replacement and I just have not had the time to return it. It is my truck boxed and ready to go. Every time I get to town which is about 30 miles away from where I live I forget to go by the post office. That is it. Also I do not know where some of you got the idea that I was bad mouthing DPMS when I was not and nothing in my original post even suggests I was. In fact I am quite happy with my DPMS AR and I have 2 uppers by them. So stop putting words in my mouth. As far as sending the bolt back I will eventually do that, but I am in no hurry as I have since purchased a replacement bolt. I do not even know what a "14er" is, but if DPMS is reading this I will get it back to you eventually, but I am really in no hurry and I do not hold DPMS responsible for the bolt. The rifle had many thousands of rounds through it and like any moving part it is going to need to be replaced eventually. I also understand you want to see it for your own reference as well. I am not expecting nor do I think you should replace it at no cost. It is what it is that's all. |

Maybe I am wrong but the bolt does not need to be head spaced does it. The new bolt I bought dropped right in and is working perfectly... Yes, you are wrong. Anytime a bolt is replaced proper procedure dictates that you check headspace. Now, that being said 95% of people including myself don't because it's almost always not an issue. But DPMS is a manufacturer and must follow strict guidelines as a matter of reputation, professionalism, and most importantly, safety. That's why in order to fix it properly at the factory they would need your upper. |

If it were me I would send the entire upper along with weapon serial number to DPMS that is ....... IF IF IF ..... there really was a crack.
Why? First of all ... because if there is truly a crack it might be a defect in a certain production run and DPMS might be able to identify other possibly affected firearms. Secondly ... I'd hate to read on here a month or so from now of a member being injured because of the same problem knowing that I withheld the information from the manufacturer. My guess is that there is no crack, that the OP got caught up on the " Unnecessary Upgrade " train and when called out on the reason for needing a new BCG, had to justify the change. I bought a brand new AR from a different manufacturer and I am leaving the internals bone stock until something actually needs to be changed. My friends ( the ones stuck on that "Unecessary Upgrade" train are trying to goad me into buying all kinds of unnecessary tacticool crap but I just laugh at them. One of them has almost $2500 invested in his AR and I am outshooting him with my bone stock $900 AR. |

Won't cost anything except for a little tape to close the box again. |

The other just bought a GS Adventure and the first guy immediately tells the second guy, "You need to ditch those stock shocks for some Ohlins!" Ohlins are high dollar aftermarket fully adjustable shocks that cost plenty. I looked at friend number 1 (as this was said right in front of me) and said..... "Why don't you let him ride the bike for a while and decide that the stock shocks don't work for him?" A shock change out would be a decent percentage of what the guy paid for is bike. It amazes me what constitutes "conventional wisdom" some times. TG |

OP: Did you now actually place it in the mail or UPS or FedEx or something?
I think most of us following this thread just want OP and DPMS to do the right thing by each other to verify the defect and resolve the issue. It seems that DPMS has gone the extra mile and we are all waiting for the part to get to them for inspection and report back, or waiting for OP to post photos that might help resolve the dispute. I'm not saying OP has "badmouthed" DPMS. I am saying that OP is not being responsive to our requests for photos or DPMS' request to examine the part and attempt to resolve the complaint. I think we are being reasonable in that expectation. |

I too have been waiting patiently for a pic. I've made no bones about being sold on DPMS as I have shot the hell out of mine and not had a single glitch. If I had something broke I would replace it with a DPMS part. Found out years ago if you want dependability use Chevy parts on Chevies and Ford parts on Fords. Just an opinion.

The first two ARs I built myself were on DPMS parts kits I bought from an outfit in MN that is no longer in business in the late 90s early 00s. Both rifles shot great, 100% reliable except for one case of my reloads when I was still learning. About the only thing I didn't like was the unshrouded firing pins on the BCG but I think back then they were all like that.
DSA has been my go to company for small parts but I would not hesitate to use DPMS. |
