I bought one used in .243 but have since sold the upper.
I tested it for function, but never got around to shooting groups. The bolt/firing pin was a little gummed up, and I had a couple of light primer strikes at first, but after cleaning it in the field it was 100% for ~ 40 rounds. The Remington dipped camo finish was thin and chipped easily. It would also wash off with Gunblast. The rifle I had was already dinged/chipped when I got it. I stripped it down to the black anodizing, then Krylonned it tan. My final thoughts are get a DPMS (That's who makes them). The extra money you pay for the Remington name and cheap camo isn't worth it. I still have the complete lower minus the skeleton stock that was on it when I bought it. If you need a cheap lower for a build then IM me. |

The handguard is not timed correctly on every example I've picked up. The forward sling swivel is in the center, the slots are not symmetric. It's a small detail that matters to me.
+1 about the cheap, fragile finish. |

That shouldn't be a surprise, I guess, but I would think the factory would have fixed that. The slots on the Bushmasters/R-15's are dead nuts on. I'm not real crazy about the DPMS handguards with finger grooves anyway. |
