| Which M4 style rifle should i get for my first Ar ....thank you |
What is wrong with DPMS? I was considering looking at a 1/7 16" barrel from CMMG, and I believe (and I believe, but not sure)that they are selling DPMS. |
| well my vote is for the CMMG upper, it has the m4 feed ramps and is 1&7 twist and yes i have both a bushmastwer and CMMG upper. i shoot the cmmg upper more. it runs flawless. so does the busmaster so there both great uppers. i just prefer the 1&7 twist. both chrome line. my bushy is just 1&9.

I currently have one of these upper through CMMG, 14 1/2" 1/7 twist and m4 feed ramps, these are a special run, not your average DPMS, these are also chromed lined and is made of 4150 steel. I really like this upper, it accurate, also, it has digested every type of ammo, that I've ran through it so far,including Wolf ammo. TG

| man it errks me to hear people talk bad about good rifles. DPMS is too in the same ball park as Bushmaster. I own a DPMS and havent had any problems at all with it. everything seems made very well. fit and finish are excellent; Not to mention, its reliable. The only advantage a bushmaster would have over a DPMS ( other than the website) is the chrome lined chamber and bore. This would probably not be a concern unless you had a really hard day of shooting or you were using that yucky wolf ammo. Keep em' clean yall!!!!! Anyway, because of this if i had to buy another rifle I would prolly pick the Bushy but the only reason is becuase of the barrel. |
| Main reasons that deter me from buying a DPMS or RRA barrel is the fact Bushmaster has the chrome-lined barrel and chamber. I'm not looking for a pure target/competition rifle that I shoot 10 rounds and clean like a NM bolt-action. I want something that will do 1" or less BUT has the reliability and durability of a military-grade designated marksman rifle. |
| if you want chrome lined, let DPMS know, they will make it. I just finished my first build, all DPMS, standard steel barrel 16" m4gery, and it is almost perfect. First 50 rounds of break in haven't had a single malfunction of any kind, and it is shooting zub MOA already. |
