A collector will pay big money for something that he cant usually have. Why buy new? Why buy a new PSA? Heck, I can get a DD any day. It's not about getting a good "deal" It's about where these rifles have been and the fact that this is probably your only chance to ever own a modern "surplus" weapon. I hate to say it but the good ol days of the surplus market is dead and gone. Everything is automatic and the few that are not like the m9 the military is never going to release (unless your lucky enough to know a general who will part with his GOM) The closest thing you will ever have to these rifles would be to buy a US property marked DOE m16 and none of those have been to vietnam.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
For me, yes, these are the reasons I would be tempted to get one. I've had a DPMS 16" carbine that I bought new (my first AR). Never a failure. Currently own a PSA 16" carbine set up identically to these. The price of the bring-back carbine is tempting, and the fact that its as close to a war surplus carbine as I'll ever be able to own is appealing in its own right. I'll pass for now (spare gun money is going into a 308 AR build), but I might get one at a later date. Quote HistoryQuoted:

They will be gone in a week. Forget the 308 build, you will be able to buy parts for that for the next 50 years. Once these are gone invoices are going to be enough providence for most collectors expect them to sky rocket when everybody in the country is fighting over one or two listed on gunbroker. Most will be stored away and wont see the light of day for 30+ years. I will never sell mine.... Right now this will be one of the crowning jewls of my collection. |

Correct, believe it or not the Ugandan guards were also outfitted with many Romanian WASR AKs and AES-10B RPKs purchased on the US market and brought over to Iraq. Seems odd, but that was the path they took. Those are also popping up for sale now.

People really want a dirty Dpms that some third world security guards carried while standing around guarding chow halls?
Next we will be hearing about how they are "pre remington" Dpms "from the good old days" While I agree, I wouldn't mind owning the M4 I had in Iraq. Hell, its probably still in use at 2-14 Infantry! |

Buy something else and put some wear on your own gun. You mean buy a new one and throw it down the driveway? |

I just got off the phone with Centerfire regarding these guns and the woman said they had about 50 or so in stock. I asked if the rifles came from Iraq and she said she had no way of knowing for sure but it is a possibility. I am tempted to get one.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I would venture to say that a good number of people buying them are doing so just because they have been to Iraq and back. It's their history that makes them cool, and the price makes it just a little more tempting.

Pointless without some type of provenance.
editing: OK, I just looked at the price and that changed my opinion significantly.

These DPMS carbines, how is it they can be imported back in the US but not the M1 Garands in S. Korea can't?
In another thread here long ago. I vaguely recall reading that once a US made rifle is brought overseas it cannot be re-imported. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I don't see what the big deal is with these things.
WOW A SEMI-AUTO AMERICAN AR EXPORTED AND RE-IMPORTED USED BY THIRD COUNTRY NATIONALS TO GUARD CHOW HALLS AND GATES WITH NO WAY TO PROVE IT'S HISTORY OTHER THAN IT'S REALLY WORN OUT!  |
