I've never heard of a DPMS receiver. Are you sure that's what you were told?

I'm sure I read something regarding DPMS FAL receivers on FALFiles, the memory is foggy though. IIRC they were made by Olympic Arms. That would explain the level of quality.

It could have been a Hesse made receiver. Hesse and DPMS were only 25-30 miles away from each other at that time in and around the Minneapolis St Paul area.

I can only imagine how poor quality a DPMS FAL would be. I'd take a Century over it
  ... at least some Century FALs used Imbel uppers.
