I've purchased from Del-Ton numerous times, both in person (gun show) and using their web site.  I really enjoy buying from Tony and Kassandra because they have decent product at decent price (and if you ask nicely and purchase enough, they are open to some discounting   ).

My first interaction with them was at a local gun show.  Tony took maybe 20 - 25 minutes with me patiently explaining much of his gear.  He took out his own personal rifle to show me the difference between some of what he was selling and what he had on his rifle.

I highly recommend spending your money with Del-Ton, but then again I have never dealt with J&T - no need to.

i just built their m-4 kit and i'm pretty darned pleased.  i know for the past few weeks they've been busy moving to a new shop, but i just spoke to them and they said they are pretty much good to go again.  i would have no problems buying anything from them again.  their prices are good, and they put out a quality product

I recently contacted them about offering other kits. They should soon have 9mm and 6.8SPC kits to chose from as well.

I'm a very satisfied customer of their's. I called them a couple times during their recent move and got all my questions answered by knowledgeable people, and very nicely too. They were quick to respond to emails, and the price was great. My first build/assembly went easily and I'll be buying from them again, soon.

I'm happy with my 16" Carbine.

Dunno about the 20" free float.  Still waiting for a back-ordered rear sight...(not from Del-Ton).

My friend's 20" with a YHM flip front is short stroking, we think we may have clunked it off the gas port, not a Del-Ton problem if we're clumsy.

I sent my order in today.  I have spent a couple months reading up on the different kits.  I cant say anything about J&T but the three or so times I called Del-ton they picked up right away and answered everything I could think of to ask.  I honestly couldnt be happier with the way they have treated me.  I cant wait to see how the kit works out.

When I was looking for my first parts kit and a company to supply it, I sent each company that I was considering the same E-mail and also called each with a question. Del-Ton was absolutely the fastest to reply and has ALWAYS answered the phone when I've called. I figured if I couldn't get a company to answer me before buying, what would happen if I had a problem with the order. I'm still waiting for replies from some companies and that's from a month ago. Needless to say, Del-Ton got my business and I couldn't be happier with the parts kit or their fast and friendly service. If I had to do it over again I wouldn't hesitate to  order from them once again. The only thing I would do different would be to order the rifle kit with the optional RRA 2 stage trigger.

I bought a kit for them. It had the best lower parts kit my gunsmith had ever seen. That said they were slow processing my order, but not unreasonable delay. It has no FTF when i shot it and was quite accurate.

At least I know I picked the right place to deal with, they are building my upper starting today and everything will ship this week she said. I already have a box of parts burning a hole in my workbench!!!!

Del-Ton is a class act all the way. My mid-length kit was awsome! I have yet to fire it,but everything functions as designed. Very good customer service. And yes,they DO answer the phone when you call. Great company I will soon buy more kits from them!

Built two M4 style carbines in last month for my nephew and myself from Del-Ton kits on Doublestar lowers.  Best fit and finish of any rifle I've built.  I got 2" groups at 50 yds with Wolf ammo.  I didn't have any of my Blackhills with me this outing.  Can't wait to see what it will do!

I have had good expieriences with purchasing from Del-Ton.  I recently purchased an upper from them with the daniel deffense free float tube.  Works wonderfully and with my ACOG was able to get 1.5" groups at 100 yards.

I sent them an email asking about military discounts. They responded the same day saying they needed a photocopy of the ID and what I wanted and they would give me a price, I sent them a good picture of it because I do not have a scanner. That was 5 days ago. Should I shoot em another email or am I just getting antsy?

I just ordered from them for the first time. Prompt service. The receipt even had a little smiley face drawn on it from the person who inspected the order. Friendly folks.

I will be ordering from them again.

Did you send what you wanted or just a copy of your ID?
If you sent what you wanted, I would call on Monday during normal working hours and check to see if they received everything OK. If you didn't list what you wanted, they are probably waiting on the list.

Yes, I sent what I wanted also. I guess I will call on Monday then.

I'm an arf noob, but I just recently put together one of their kits.  I'd recommend them, and will definitely buy from them again.  I screwed up my order online and they took care of that no problem, and they're always very nice and helpful on the phone.  I just got back from running a bunch of wolf through mine, and its running without a hiccup so far.

Do Del-Ton's barrels come w/ M4 feedramps or rifle ramps?

Reason I ask is I have a CMT upper that needs a barrel.  Problem is that the upper has the m4 ramps.

Usually, there is an option to choose. If there is not, I would call them and ask, sometimes they don't have everything listed on the site. The complete uppers usually have the option for M4 ramps, but I don't know about the barrels.
