AR: DPMS or Del-Ton?

I like the McFarland one piece gas ring, the heavier the carrier the better, forged mid length upper (chrome) w/flat-top, swan rail w/integral rear sight topped off w/Comp-M w/ARD.

I use a storage hand grip and keep a spare bolt assembly/broken shell extractor/ along w/other parts that can be easily lost in the field. In the many decades I've used the AR-M16 platform I've had a few bolt failures at critical moments not a good feeling, but backup fixed it.

Drums are my preferred method of feed, yea I know it's a bit much but "I can & drums too".

Since Tacodoc lives in CA, it should be noted this wouldn't be a legal configuration in CA. Here's a link to a good resource for evaluating what can and can't be done with respect to semi-automatic rifles in CA: Calguns Flowchart

What no full auto, or?

If you are asking about the specific issue with this gun, we are not allowed to have magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds on a semiautomatic centerfire rifle that is configured with one of more of the proscribed "evil features" (pistol grip, flash hider, collapsible/folding stock, thumbhole stock, grenade or flare launcher) unless it happens to be a registered AW.


Yes, yes, I know, but please don't rub it in! ;)

Thanks. I'm really liking it. Quite an upgrade over what I set out to purchase initially but I'm glad I went for a higher quality setup.

Tacodoc if you need any help or parts or anything at all regarding your AR let me know. I live close to you, I'm an 01 FFL and I am a dealer for lots of companies regarding AR stuff. I'll take care of you if you want some accessories to even include optics.

Oh and ive got a nice little private property spread to legally shoot on complete with real target stands and ar500 steel. I'm a LEO as my primary job and the side business I mentioned above.
