Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - DPMS Chrome bolt and carrier group
Posted: 10/19/2004 9:32:31 PM EDT
Any opinions on these? How do they compare to say an RRA enhanced bolt in terms of durability and funtionality? I have the opportunity to pic up one for around 100 bucks, is it worth it? TIA. Heres a link

DPMS bolts are known for their low quality. They shear lugs off.

And the channels on the underside of the carrier, where the mag lips ride, are not as deep as on Colt carriers, so they grind off the top edges of the mag lips if you're using Thermold mags like I do.

Don't know if they rub on GI mag lips, 'cause I don't own any.  Don't own that DPMS carrier any more either

reviews don't sound so good here huh?

I don't have an opinion since I don't have one/haven't used one

but I have heard good things about the Les Baer version if its chrome you want in your B/BC.

They certainly look awesome
