I have seen some of their Ar's at cheap prices.

How do they compare.  Good or bad.

They're the best in that price range.  Real good basic simple parts.  There are plenty better, but Delton is real good for the price.

Built my first AR with a Del-Ton kit, couldn't be happier.  
And they'll put anything you want in a kit, be it rails, gas blocks, stocks, whatever...
There IS a long waiting list at the moment though...

I have a Delton 20" that a great shooter.  Never had any problems.  

For the price you can't beat it.

if you find what you want at the retail level you're better off, ordering off the website has a notice "12 (?) week delay on all orders"...you 'd better have some patience. I can't speak to the quality but Ive heard good feedback on this forum.

They are still working on orders as far back as December 2008, it depends on what you have ordered as some Fed 09 stuff has shipped.  I had a jan or feb order that have not heard back on.  CC has expired since then but don't really need the kit anymore... expecting a call soon.

It depends on the specific setup...some orders from early March are shipping while others from Dec. are just starting to move out.  if you have a very customized setup, then it gets more complicated to get all the parts together at the same time from the looks of it.

Check out the Industry forum for more up to date info on shipping dates.  They have been good (Del-Ton) on giving a weekly update as to where they are on orders.

I just saw on at one of our local gun shops, first time i every handled a Delton.It was a 16 inch Car DTI-15 flat top and was only $766.80 brand new.Wow it looks real nice.The coating on the upper almost looks blued as semi-gloss looking.I was impressed at the look overall.They also had a Bushmaster flat top for $1020 and S&W M&P for $900 so guess prices are really coming down.All our gun shops have bunches of AR's but this was lowest price i've seen and a long time.

I have one of their midlength uppers with a chrome lined heavy barrel. Pretty accurate, runs well, looks nice.

I have a couple of their CL Mid-lengths and don't have any complaints.  The rifles are rock solid.  I mean nice and tight with no slack anywhere.  I don't see where I would get any better value without spending significantly more cash.  I hand-load the 69gr smk and the rifle will do it's part when I do mine, and that works just fine for me.
