| Debating building or buying a dpms upper? Can I build one for less? Is the dpms good to go? |
| I have had mine for about 4.5 years. It has always ran flawlessly and is very accurate. Bought a Tac-sol first, it ran poorly jamming considerable and misfiring often. Luckily I purchased it at Midway and they took it back without any problems. For $200 less I now have this dependable DPMS. Glad it worked out like it did! |

my DPMS went back to the factory once for a 3 month stay and sat unused for another year after when they didn't fix it.
would I recommend one? yes... here is the thing... for whatever reason my firing pin didn't have enough reach or the hammer didn't quite hit it flush... anyway I fixed my lite strike issue by removing about .02" of material from the back of the bolt with a dremel which allowed the hammer to drive the pin a bit further/harder the gun ran great when I got it, till it didn't. DPMS didn't do anything to fix it, but I eventually figured it out. I doubt you'll have this issue, but if you do this is how you fix it. it's a very reliable upper. |
