| I am interested in a Flattop AR and just cant seem to want to put a new upper on either of my existing AR15's as they are both nice pre-ban Colt carbines. I just read a glowing review of the DPMS Lo-Pro in Guns &Weapons for LE. It seems like just what I am looking for. Your opinoin please..... |

... Awrighty [b]BillSP1[/b], my take. Do it. can always affix an A2 type carry handle to the Picatinny rail, but much better to "grow" into a TA01NSN ACOG w/GGG back-up sights when you can afford. ... Don't limit yourself, may get more responses in a "real" gun forum. ... This place is generally reserved for hate and discontent. |

Officer, I'm driving straight, that damn road just keeps moving. |

Thanks for the input. I want to scope the flattop for casual target use. Think it would be a real handy coyote gun, among other uses. I have another AR set up with a Sure-Fire forearm light for home defense, so this one would be just for play. Now I think I will go to the fridge and get a cold one while I read here some more.... |

Vinnie, Yep, that is the one without the dustcover, shell deflector lump, fwd assist. I don't need those things on a short varmint rifle. Per the article the thing shoots 1/2" groups at 100 yards (I know this in no guarantee MINE will shoot like that, but gotta start somewhere!) Bill |

Bill I have a DPMS w/ the real A3 upper and 20" bull barrel...groups are incredibly SUB-MOA with UMC or American Eagle...How does 0"MOA at 50 yards sound? It will go out to 1/4" MOA if I flinch. |

This thread is Probably pretty much dead now, but Thanks to all those who replied. Big gunshow in Phoenix July 6-7, so I'm going to try to part with some cash and buy my first post-ban AR. Will me looking for a flat-top DMPS or Bushmaster, torn between a 16 or 20 inch barrel, either will do, no front sight on this one. If I see a Rock River Arms AR in the right configuration (A3 basically) I will check it out too. Regards to all those who helped, and Happy Fourth of July! BillSp1 |
