Older DPMS guns were really good guns as were Bushmasters. They started out a precise machine shop making parts for military contracts for M16 and 1911 parts. Then they started making MSR;s. They moved and shortly after sold it to Freedom group in 2007. Roughly the same time as when they bought out Bushmaster. Then they started cutting corners for the bottom line and that's when both the Bushmaster and DPMS started to take a nosedive in quality. At one point before 2007 they made the best lowers in the business. If you happen to have a pre-2007 DPMS or Pre-2005 Bushmaster hold on to them tightly. They are very good guns.

No, DPMS was never EVER considered to have the best of anything. They were budget rifles from the first one that hit the market. As a matter of fact their first lowers were cast and considered the biggest pieces of crap to ever be attached to a LPK.

Bushmaster was never great either. They were just the only game in town for Chrome lined barrels and standard lower parts for several years. They never parked under the FSB, their barrels were 1/9, and their anodizing was purple. The only commanded a premium in 1994 through 2004 if they were built before the AWB went into effect.

Does your Google not work or something. Holy crap.

Heard at my local gun shop that Hitler was shot by a PTAC rifle. Made the shot when it mattered the most.

That's awesome

I had it built as a factory custom gun through dpms believe it or not. I know it sounds crazy but it’s true.
