| I'm gonna buy one of these rifles very soon. I Can't decide which one. DPMS is $100 plus cheaper, is there a reason for that. |
| I have two DPMS rifles and have not had a problem in many thousands of rounds. The only thing different in them is I put a JP adjustable trigger in one and I sent the other to CLE for their two stage trigger. The people at DPMS are very helpful. With the good experience I have had with DPMS, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. That's my DPMS story. Your mileage may vary. |

I have a DPMS and it is by far one of the best AR-15s I've seen. I love it! It's just as good as a Colt or Bushmaster. Outstandingly accurate out of the box and the customer service is excellent! The DPMS trigger is better out of the box as well. As far as the barrel goes, you get better accuracy out of a non-chrome lined barrel. As long as you dont let the rifle go long periods of time without being cleaned, the barrel wont be a problem. -Marksman |

i have oened two dpms products, and m4gery upper, and a preban lower. the upper was jam-o-matic with any mag put through it. the lower was good quality, a little bit loose, but a good lower. my bushmaster experience has been better. the above mentioned lower had a bushmaster upper on it which functioned flawlessly and was surprisingly accurate for the configuration. i also have a bushy dissipator in the owrks and one in the safe that i havent shot yet, but they fit well and finish is great. overall, especially when you throw in their AWESOME customer service, i would go bushmaster for just about anything. i am sure that my DPMS experience (jam-o-matic) isnt typical of DPMS, but it left a bad taste in my mouth as a first experience with their product. go bushmaster, you wont be sorry... |

Of all of the consumer goods I have purchased in 51 years, I have NEVER seen ANYONE even come even remotely close to giving the customer service that I have gotten out of DPMS! For that reason alone, I recently made a purchase from them. Do I think they are the best? Probably not.It'd be a damned close horse race, but customer satisfaction seems to mean a lot to DPMS and that sure gets my vote. gfb PS call Al at AL's Custom thru the mfg forum. He's OK by me! gfb |
