| I currently own a Bushy and am thinking very hard about building a RRA... However, with DPMS just down the road from me, I've gotta ask... Comparable to the Bushy or RRA? |

I am more concerned about being able to disassemble my ar in the field, without tools, than I am about a tight fit between the upper and lower. I am lucky as I have some uppers and lowers that fit together well, but I can push the takedown and pivot pins out with my fingers. The ar15/m16 was origonally designed to be field stripped and zeroed with nothing more than an M193 cartridge. I try to retain as much of THAT mil-spec as I can. DPMS, RRA, Bushie, Armalite, Oly, Mega/Stinger, ASA, Colt and still others...in no particular order. |

Quoted: DPMS doesn't use 4150 barrel steel, they use the cheaper 4140 DPMS doesn't have the chromelined bore or chamber Hence, it's not an equal to Bushmaster The exception to this rule are special run DPMS uppers that are being made for CMMG. These uppers have M4 feedramps the barrels are made with 4150 steel, 5.56 NATO chambers, chrome lined chamber and bore and come in 1/7 twist. They do have cast front sight base. This front sight was also inspected by Adco and their machinist and they said it was good to go and there was no need to swap it with a forged one. All that being said the only DPMS stuff I would ever buy would be from CMMG...[BD] |
