DPMS AR-10

[JB62]

In the market for an AR-10. Seems to be good availability of DPMS, I have heard some not so great things. Does anyone have any experience with DPMS or insight ?

i saw one at On Target for 2400 (tax included)... too much for a DPMS imo....

i'm in the market too... it was cash and carry... but i couldn't justify it.

Bart's couple weeks ago had 2 if I remember correctly for a lot less. Few around online for ton less as well.

I wouldn't do it. I have an Armalite AR-10 and have had zero problems with it. On the other hand I know 2 people who have the DMPS AR-10 and have had nothing but problems with them. FTF, FTE, jam after jam. Both with factory ammo and hand rolled.

 

[JB62]

Kind of what I heard. Leaning M&P or Armalite. The Armalite is just hard to come by lately.

2A Sales had a real nice DPMS when I was there on Saturday.

I bought mine on gunbroker ... a DPMS lr 308 24" heavy barrel and paid $1350 for it...it was cash and carry

I have a DPMS LR 243 and it is, by a long shot, hands down the most accurate factory rifle I have ever purchased. When I bought it all I did was sell the DPMS mags and buy PMags, nothing else, and it's been 100% reliable. Super impressed with mine...

The biggest issue with most DPMS LR308's seems to be the buffer system on the 16" barrel collapsible stock models. Easily correctable for around $100-$150 depending on which route you go.

The DPMS Panther AP4 (LR-308) is a nice firearm.

No issues so far.

Constitutional Firearms in Laurel usually has Armalite AR10s.

Saw an Armalite AR10 sold at Constitutional Firearms last Friday. Pretty gun. Not sure if they had more in stock or not.

I have a LR308 24" heavy barrel and the only issue i've gotten so far is some light primer strikes on a few of the malaysian milsurp rounds i have. And i'm also not a fan of the slick side upper, i prefer the ejection port cover and forward assist. But other then those gripes she's been good otherwise.

A few years back they were only $999... IMO an amazing rifle for the $$$.

Had a bolt action .308 years back. What's the cost per round these days?

70 to 90 cents a round for target ammo.

I have a DPMS Recon 308 I picked up on a whim and have been very happy with it. It's well-equipped, for the money. In the pic below, it's bone stock, including the AAC suppressor adapter and Magpul furniture/BUIS. The only thing I changed was added a Timney 3lb trigger and an Eotech I had laying around. (and obviously the suppressor)

Is it an LWRC or JP? Of course not, but it's also less than 1/2 the price. For a beater/truck gun, it's great.

Go on youtube and search "Nutnfancy". He does a 50 minute review of the DPMS .308. I just picked one up last week but haven't taken it to the range. I've had DPMS rifles before and always have been extremely happy with them.

 

[JB62]

Thanks for the input. Seems to be rifle worth the money

Make sure it has a forward assist and you will be fine.
