I am looking into Building up my First AR15, i am looking one of the "complete" Kits from DPMS, but i would like to know more about their quality bofore i buy, i mailed them several times with the questions i have but have never received even the courtesy of a reply, so maybe some of you here can help me with the questions:

(1) Are the upper receivers Forged or Cast?

(2) What type steel do they use for the Barrels , e.g. 4140, 4150, Moly, Chrome lined Etc.

(3) Does the Buttstock have the trapdoor ?

(4) What Finish do they use , Manganese etc.?

There is no information except ordering information at their Website.

I would appreciate any information you can supply.

BTW, long time Lurker first time Poster, i didnt find it Necessary to register before as i didnt have a AR , i mostly shoot FALs , SKS, Mini 14 etc.

After shooting a Bushy Dissipator at the Range the other Day i decided to take the AR plunge.

Thanks a lot.

DPMS is top notch, right up there with Bushmaster.

Most DPMS upper recievers are forged.

Most std barrels are 4140.

Buttstock has the ALUMINUM trap door.

They use hardcoat anodizing w/ teflon on top.

You WILL NOT be displeased with a DPMS and their service is awesome.
