So now the question becomes can I build one for that price and quality or can I spend a hundred or two more either build myself or purchase and have a lot better rifle? I could probably build a very bare bones range toy for that price that might be a few MOA at 100 yards or spend a little more that will get me close to that MOA at 100 yards.

Good lord, just how low can the prices continue to drop.
I'd love to find a 20" A2 rifle for that price. |

So what is the better value? This DelTon or the Ruger AR for $50 more? |

Good deal, but I'd rather save up for a KAC or LMT AR. Same for pistols; those shields for $225 are tempting, but I'd rather save for a CZ shadow or USP expert.

What's not to like? A pencil-barreled carbine that'll do what 99% of what anyone would ever need in an AR for $400.00 shipped?
That's half the price of a Colt 6720. |

I'd imagine it's a situation where S&W has paid for the machining several times over already, and they're literally just paying for materials and labor.

Medicfrost, thanks for the link and damn you!
Del-Ton has a good rep and, as stated above, there's a lifetime guarantee for the product but, man, Ruger has done so well by gunowners after their founder croaked, I'd really like to support them. |

DelTon makes a good product, I'd say they're at least even with Palmetto State Armory. They've got a lifetime warranty and a lot of the police departments around here are switching to them because they're a local business.

If you've already got a lower laying around you're ready to go, or you can wait a two weeks for the 4th of July sales, I'm betting on $19.99 stripped lowers this year! Del-Ton is GTG, industry partners here. |

I bought one for a young guy and his wife about 10 years ago who were having a tough time financially. (Hard working nice people with a couple of babies.) They still have it as their house gun and it still chugs along like it always has. I paid more than $399 back then but it was still a pretty good deal............I can't remember the amount though. He likes the DelTon and it has been about 10 years. |

It's actually $410.97 unless you plan to pay in cash.

I made my A2 20" for about $439. I wanted it to look as bone stock as could be. DTI lower, & 20" upper, DTI parts kit, etc. It can be done quite easily. Shoots really nice too. I put together a Del-Ton 20" A2 for around $550 a couple of years ago. Chrome lined barrel. Very solid shooter, the barrel can outshoot me. I used an old A2 upper I got off the EE and used the flat top on another build. I had Del-Ton install a non "F" marked FSP. They were very attentive to a perceived error on my order when I chose that FSP. They emailed me to confirm my choice. |

Not sure about the quality, but a starter platform ready to hit the range in .308 for $600 is pretty damn tempting. If I didn't have 2 Armalites in the safe I'd be all over it |

If I didn't have a bunch of parts laying around to finish builds on I wouldn't hesitate to jump on this. I've got a DelTon upper and no name BCG that has been accurate out to 200 yds for me.
