Del-Ton AR's?

[LongArmoftheLaw]

Whatever it's "considered" as long as its' not a cheap p.o.s and won't have too many problems with it. With what all you are saying about Del-Ton I'm for sure more inclined to give them more thought.

Any mfg's ar has some issues now or then. Does that mean you should pass one up, no. I have used Del-Ton since they have been on the scene, Not any issues, one time my parts were missing some small pieces and DT had them out next day, priority mail.
Slightly OT. you're listed as Denver but inquiring about NoCo dealers. Why not visit MGT or other ffl in the denver area?

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

Forge line on the rear of my lower is completely uniform and smooth. I cannot find any rough machine marks on the rifle anywhere, everything is uniform, symmetric, and consistent looking.

B&BCG are all smooth, machined right, no rough areas.

I have no idea if they magnaflux the bbcg and barrel, that would be a question for them.

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 personally think my buddies dpms is a crappy rifle. It isn't consistent with grouping, the mating between the upper and lower rattle (as does my colt M4), and in general just seems like a cheap rifle.

The mating surface between the upper and lower on my Del-Ton is perfectly straight, if you try to rock it by grabbing the forearm and pistol grip there is very slight movement, and no rattle.

Maybe my del-ton is a freak of nature?
