I'm new to this board, and this is my first post. I hope the correct way to join the thread is to reply to the first message.
I got one of these (dpms 22lr upper) last week and took it to the range for the first time Thursday (= 10 July) afternoon. It seems to function just fine, which is all I was checking, temperatures here in Central Oklahoma are begining to hit 100 in the aternoons, and so I kept the session short. I was using Remington Golden bulk pack 22LR. Here's 2 questions for experienced owners:
1.) For optics, I took the A3 carry handle & scope off my Bushmaster, since I needed something quickly, and I was using the Bushmaster lower & stock. Of course the scope needed (vertical) rezeroing. I don't plan on this for a permanent arrangement. What scopes/mounts are people using? Is anyone using a red dot?
2.) DPMS included in the box a sling swivel stud and instructions to drill the handguard to install it. Has anyone done this? I'm not interested in slinging it, but I would like to use a bipod?
