[ARCHIVED THREAD] - DPMS lower markings

Posted: 3/6/2006 9:30:53 AM EDT

purchased a stripped lower this weekend. got home and opened it up and noticed that the safe and fire marks where off (different location than my LCW or Colt units, I was going to call DPMS but I checked there WEB page and it looks like that the way they mark it. Anybody know why?

My Bushy is like that, didn't look at my DPMS or Superior

Because in the process of manufacture, the stampings are put on with a roll stamp before machining & the lower was not set up properly when they rolled the selector markings

Do you mean that the "selector" switch does not rest in the center of the word fire , stamped into the aluminum receiver ? , my DPMS is like this --- that does not bother me as much as the crazzzy "cat" head on it ---- my best friend says it looks like a clown face----- no imagination at the R&D dept. at DPMS

The selector point at the F in fire or before.

It would be nice if they were "pretty" before you beat the crap out of them.

Are all the DPMS Lowers like this or was it a bad stamping run? I just order a Stripped Lower to put together.
