I'm looking to get my first AR15 but am on a budget. After looking around, I've come across this at AIM Surplus. If anybody has any experience with DEL-TON and could advise as to their quality, I would be much obliged. Thank you.

I would prefer a chromelined barrel.  I'd look at the CMMG bin guns.  I'll try to find it...

Chrome lined aren't usually as accurate and I try to avoid them when I can.

CMMG makes a solid rifle though

Del-Ton is the best bang for the buck out there. I bought my 20'' kit from them.

RR and Bushmaster uppers are noticeable more tight and solid (particularly handguards and BCG).
I put A1 handguards on mine and might buy another bolt (keep old one as spare) which you can afford to do with Del-Ton.

Very accurate rifle and has worked fine through the 500 rounds I've shot through it.

Good bud of mine got a Del Ton last year. It has been a great rifle and either of us would not hesitate to pick on up.

Also, check out BudsGunShop.com as they had some Double Stars (another great value) on sale for like $648

Double Star are another fine rifle.
A friend of mine has one and it might even be a little nicer than my Del-Ton 20'' A2

I have a couple of chrome lined del-tons. They have run fine and they are accurate.  Mark

You can also check out CMMG's bargain bin rifles. Plenty of people have bought them in the past and were very happy with them. I think you can get a complete M4 style rifle for around $599.

Thank you all for your advice. I think I'll go with either the DEL-TON or the Double Star.
