[ARCHIVED THREAD] - dpms lower any good for build?

Posted: 12/28/2005 11:24:14 AM EDT

I'm planning on building a car 15 rguns.com has dpms stripped lower receivers for 100.00 are they any good? This will be my first build. Is their a color match problem with the finish on a lot of builds or are they all standard one finish. Probably will get a parts kit from Jsguns or MA. A local dealer will let me buy one receiver at his cost as a favor to me. Thanks, Mike H

FWIW, I've used two in builds and not had a problem.

I've done 3 builds with them and have had no problems at all

DPMS would be my first choice. Best bang for the buck I can get around here, and every upper I own easily mounts on my current DPMS lower.

DPMS suck! Don't get one. They are horrible! My brother's stepson's dad's cousin on his mother's side had a neighbor who's father in law's son's stepdaughter's boyfriend built a rifle with a stripped DPMS lower and it didn't work right!!!

As you can tell I am kidding! I get tired of all the people that bash a maker becuase it isn't the flavor they like. I have built several rifles using DPMS lowers and parts and they are just as good as any other brand I have handled.
