AR: DPMS or Del-Ton?

[cnynrat]

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!

Hey Tacodoc - I happened to run across this thread over on Calguns: Helping "Budget" AR Newbies

You might find some useful information there if you are still contemplating building your own AR.
