I love my DPMS lower , matches cerro keyhole uppers exactly and is tight enough that theres no "rattle" at all. Mags drop free when mag release is depressed. Only problem iv'e found (and i really wouldn't call it a prob) are some very small tool marks directly below the front takedown pin on the front of the reciever , the rest is immaculate. |

I have built 2 rifles from pieces and parts laying around the bench. 20" A2 with a Wilson chrome lined barrel, CMT upper, Colt bolt and carrier etc etc. It is a fantastic shooting rifle 14.5" SOCOM M4gery SOPMODgery  The fit, finish, function, quality is excellent. I am ordering 2 more from Del-Ton for an SPR and a "light weight" sporter or XM177 clone project. Build with confidence |

If you can see the piece before you buy it, and it looks good, go for it. But be aware that many DPMS lowers have a lot of tool marks and left over forging remnents on the front, rear and trigger area surfaces. Last one I bought had a front wall that looked like it had been smoothed by a monkey w/a hangover, and there was so much forging remnent at the rear, over the grip mount area, that you would gouge your hand if you took a high grip or had a fat hand. Only reason I bought it was that I was planning to mill off all the A2 type pieces and make an early M16 clone out of it, so I just went ahead and finished off what DPMS didn't. If I'd been putting an A2 clone or M4gery together, I never would have touched it. |

I own two DPMS lowers, both purchased in the past 6 months (one last month). They are perfect! I only had one problem - the newest one had a tiny bit of aluminum material left in the hole where the trigger guard roll pin goes in, but it came right out when I whacked the pin in carefully. The other was flawless. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. |
