It's a well thought out tool.
Nope
Speaking of putting upper together. The dpms barrel nut and aluminum tube forend on my 20" came of by hand. It was properly indexed but I just gave a twist of the wrist to begin unscrewing it. Makes me wonder if my barrel nuts have been too tight, I always figured tighter was better.
It's not a standard nut though, the foregrip and nut are all one piece. The sling point has to face at 6 o'clock, which it did, but it just took a firm twist.
But this is a stainless bull barrel 20" so I don't think milspec means jack here really. I believe I will be replacing the forend wih a differed system. Amazingly tight barrel to receiver fit though.
Just making a very bad arfcom joke...my one Dpms starter rifle worked fine while I had it. In fact I just ordered a stripped A1/C7 upper from them to replace my A2 on my current retro build.
I bought a no mar vice block set that got good reviews off amazon for about 25 iirc. I've used it a couple times now and have been pleased. I used rubber bands instead of the clear blocks to hold it together for a more positive hold.
