Yesterday evening I UPSed some money for my first AR-15. I was gona order it closer to the beginning of the year but kept putting it off because the money would get spent on other things. Well yesterday I finely got the ball rolling. I ordered one of these guys.....

He said that it will be late October early November some time. Which is the same thing that DPMS told me when I called to see how long it takes to get to me. But since I gota be one of them guys that just wants to be a little bit different and get the not so main stream stuff, waiting is the price I pay. Thanks again to GSG9! He was very helpful and answered all my questions. I have tried not to get too excited about it's arrival since it is a ways out. Any way as soon as I get it and get the scope strapped on top I'll be sure to post many-o-color pictures.

Good for you.  Be prepared AR-15itis.
Soon it will want a partner and lots of magazines.

I really like the fluted barrel.  I can't figure out the manufacturer though.

congratulations! im jealous

that is a very nice looking rifle.

Nice Panther! Is that a 20" or 24" barrel?

After re-reading your post and oneshot calling it a Panther, I guess it is a DPMS.
I own a few DPMS products and have never had a problem with them.  I got a lower that I have never done anything with and this may be the answer.  
Now, see what you have done?  I need to assemble my lower and buy an upper and some nice glass.  You got me spending money.
