What are these GI contract parts I hear of? Are they any good or stay away? I was told they were parts from like DPMS and other big names just unbranded. Whats your take on then??

Jon Why even bother going with something whose pedigree is in question? Buy a Daniel Defense parts kit and be done with it. Stay away from DPMS. |

Jon https://www.fsd.gov/fsd-gov/answer.do?sysparm_number=KB0011119 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_and_Government_Entity_code If it had a substitute NSN, then that substitute had an alternate CAGE Code to identify where it came from. The whole purpose of that is to identify bad parts, inform the appropriate higher agency responsible for that item such as a bad 200 amp generator, engine, or transmission to TACOM, a bad barrel from a newly issued M777 to TEXCOM or AECOM, etc., etc. Sometimes AMC got involved, sometimes not. And FYI, DPMS stopped making parts for the .mil the moment they became private. Parts came from then Sabre Defense, FNHUSA, Colt, LMT, etc. If they won the bid, they got it. There's money to be made in the parts game. |

I was lookin for a answer on "parts" in general. It's a 7"upper. I ended up doing the trade. My buddy came along and lent me his SF lower. Thought the gun blew up for a minute there. The gas block slid forward due to not locking the set screw in. Check the video out at http://youtu.be/Yb8jepBxvF4
