Check out the front pivot lug on this new receiver I got. Had it barreled and tried to put it on lower before I noticed. i1.tinypic.com/o586bq.jpg |
| Not to hijack your thread but the part behind the Delta ring (weld spring or handguard snap ring)thats a little out of round and doesn't fit flush with the delta ring at places (for lack of better terms) out of spec or just normal. My sons AR looked like that & I just pushed it back into place with a tool. Is this normal? I saw that pic and had to ask. Thanks. |
Works on Olympic lower and the ones I have made by LAR such as Grizzzly. Ammetec, and DPMS. It does not work on any of the CMT made lowers I have. It will not pivot open on them.
The spring weld, snap ring, and delta ring are as they should be. |
| My DPMS Sweet 16 pivot and takedown holes on the upper receiver were out of spec too, when I picked it up several years back. The holes didn't go down far enough, so the pins wouldn't go it. Didn't want to bother with return shipping, so I carefully dremeled the holes until I got it to fit a mil-spec lower. It's a VERY snug fit as a result, which I guess is good for a target upper. But I'm not buying DPMS again. |
During the past few days I have seen comments on problems with Rock River Arms, Bushmaster and Colt among others. Yet it is mentioned how horrible DPMS' quality keeps getting. To be fair, it seems you would be making comments about how bad the rest of them are getting. |

this is a dpms thread, when i see the others i comment as well.  so far the only brand that hasnt had much current problems is hesse/vulcan

Well I tried contacting them today. First time the person I was told to contact in the IM was in a meeting. Second time no one answered the phone got a voice mail. Third time I held for a bit and got the person but he had not a clue what I was talking about. So I gave up put it in a box and sent it back. Probably out the 3.50 now for shipping. Typical for the week. Got a single hook trigger set from Cope that was supposed to be a double. One of the three HK mags I got was dented to bad to use. The AK sling swivel is old and rusted but the one in the ad looks almost new. Ordered two semi auto sear springs from Vector for a HK trigger pak and got trigger springs instead. Ordered six sets of feed lip inserts from Lage for my M11 mags and only got 5 and an invoice for that says I sent 25 dollars but I sent 30 as a Postal money order. What a week. |
I spend several hundred thousands of dollars with them every year. I too get their voice mail, I am told people I need to talk to are in meetings. I guess it happens no matter how big or small you are. I don't sweat it, I hit redial. I call back if someone is busy running a multi-million dollar company. DPMS said they will take care of you, they will. |
