Del-Ton AR's?

[LongArmoftheLaw]

Fairly new to AR's in general. Haven't heard anything about Del-Ton until recently. I love the prices but how is the quality? How do they stack up with RRA, DPMS, CMMG, Bushmaster, and Armalite? Any input would be great fellas!

I have a Del-Ton, its every bit what my colt @ work is so far.

I have over 2,000 rounds in it since august 1st when I bought it.

It eats anything without any issues. I've fired prvi, pmc, herters (over 1k), and federal through it.....

Typically about par with DPMS, considered an "entry level" rifle usually. Lacks the fit and finish of upper rung rifles.

RRA, CMMG are good stuff, I wouldn't give you two nickles rubbed together for a post 08 Bushmaster and the Armalite is top teir.

Just out of curiosity..... what "fit and finish" are we talking? I personally think my del-ton is about as nice as it gets....

Keep in mind I only have shot a DPMS (which I think my del-ton is much nicer than) and my colt M4.

Fit and finish is just what it says amigo, look at the forge line on the rear of the lower. Is it nicely dressed or looks like it was cut with a torch? Machining marks, tolerances, durability of finish, magnafluxed B&BCG and barrel, accuracy of work and such contribute to where you feel an item may fall on the quality scale. Now every manufacture will have lapses but one thing I consider is how consistent of a product they put out. Many of what I feel may be a lower teir item are all over the board in the above categories.
Most of the upper teirs are very consistent and on the + side of things.
No way you can't say there is no difference in shooting between a DPMS and say a LMT, POF, Colt or other quality item.
You can feel, see and hear the difference.

I've shot them with steel cased as well. although they do put a notice that steel cased ammo voids their warranty. just fyi

They are great rifles. I had one and it was very accurate and the fit and finish are up there next to the higher end manufacturers

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.
