Del-Ton AR's?

Entry level is about where I'm currently at. Something to just go shoot the occasional paper zombie or wiley coyote haha heard good things about RRA! Thanks for the info!

I'm curious to hear what BP has to say to my question but I have put a good bit of rounds through this in the 6weeks I've owned it and I'm not sure I'd consider it entry level.

I took it to our pop-up range and qualled with it the same as I do my M4.... 34-37 out of 40 usually. Hitting 300m as well.

Its very accurate, even after firing 1,000 rounds of steel cased herters without cleaning it, reliability/accuracy was not impacted.

Entry level does not equate quality all the time- it just means it's affordable for your first system, simple, economic, and not as "fitted and finished" as others. Technically my first was a Bushmaster M4A1 (Issued ), I love my POF that I own now, and it's far from entry level... I would consider RRA, Del-Ton, and DPMS entry level as well. But again, entry level is not a synonym for POS.

Educate yourself on what is out there instead of being attracted by what you think is a low price on an "entry-level" rifle. Just because it is the lowest price on the rack doesn't make it a worthwhile purchase.

Buy once, cry once.

I remember while doing a stint at jensens the RRA had just hit the market and not moving to well. Clearly at the time a well made AR and was able to pass this on to customers. Now Rock River is "god's creation" to some.
CMMG?? They started out selling parts kits and having really smoking deals on ACOGS!! Then they did the blem rack sales, now CMMG is up there and to some can do no wrong, JK. ALL mfgs started at the bottom, some have stayed there, rightfully so. Others do what they can to improve qc, listen to customer feed back and become successful.
Go to RMSS (rocky mtn shooter supply) and rent a few ar's to see for yourself what the pro's and con's are. Keep in mind the ar's @ RMSS have been run hard. However this will get you a starting point for the rifle.

Im gonna go out on a limb and get flamed for this, but I feel Colt is second rate compared to many others.
Your buying the name and not necessarily anything better then what other manufacturers offer.
Their upper to lower fit is horrible and magwell IMHO is horrible also.
Id go with a Del-Ton or any other manufacturer before Colt.

My most accurate I have owned was a DoubleStar and was hitting a 1/2-3/4 group at 120 yards.

Yeah, I don't mean to sound like I was jumping down anyone's throat, and I am far from the subject matter expert. I have a lot of trigger time on my M4, and considered that a good comparison for my Del-Ton.... and AFAIK it is all built to the exact same spec except 1-9 twist vs 1-7... which doesn't matter much unless you're firing heavy bullets anyways...which I dont.

I have never heard anyone say anything bad about del-ton just heard it referred to as entry level and "as long as your expectations are right"... entry fit and finish....and I'm not quite sure how to take that other than quality! Sorry for my ignorance.

My Del-ton upper on an RRA lower has never failed me ( well a couple of failure to fire's but I blame that on 2 rounds bad out of 1000.. the primers were well dimpled)

Shoots straighter then I do so whats to complain about ?
