Can you guys give me some input on these? Just looking to stock up this weekend...they're cheap(ish), and readily available.

Looks better than some of the optic ready ones i have seen before
-
I've never ran one, but these do not appear to have M4 feed ramps by the description. Friend of mine had a low end gun w/o them & it was pretty picky on ammo it would shoot.
-
Ken, what about this......

That's a pretty good price for sure. I was just hoping to walk in somewhere to purchase in person. I've never bought a gun without seeing it first.
-
Shouldn't have any problems with it. I don't like the gas block instead of a FSB but that's just me.
-
Yeah, I get that. Not my personal favorite either, but I probably won't ever take them out of the box.

I've never had a bad purchase via AIM, stand up company. I've bought several firearms off them over the years from surplus stuff to new firearms & everything in between. I'm sure they have a transfer dealer near you as well.

I have this model, never had a problem with it always fed anything I ever put thru it but I don't buy a lot of cheap ammo either.
-
Thanks guys. Just checked with the local cal ranch and they have several "cheapos" on the shelf, including both the oracle and the andersons. Might have to take a lunch break here shortly!
-
Why don't you just buy the parts and put one together yourself? That way you get it exactly how you want. You seem pretty mechanically inclined (;D) so you shouldn't have any problem building one. Probably come out close to the same price, assuming you shop around and look at the clearance section or the blemished items.
-
I have some 80% lowers ordered, but if I can get a couple(?) for 5 bills or so each, I may be able to triple my funds in a few months. :)
-
For those who aren't aware, what Ken really said was.......
Once my favorite gal H gets elected these el cheapo's will be worth a mint! ;)

^^^ Is that an Ed Zachery quote? ;D
If the Hillderbeast gets in gun sales will go up more then when Obummer did, and he has sold a Metric crap load of them.
I wish I had time to understand the AR platform better, it's a bit out of my wheelhouse. I stick to bolt action long guns, more of a hunting habit thing i think.
I am getting close to maybe having one or two of this type in the collection soon as well. Sounds like I need to do some fact finding/research as well but I don't feel the need to be an expert on them, just know how to handle and service them properly. You know, just in case...... Like my Cousin.. Justin Case.

Flatlander, I posted up a good article today that reflects on why you should move to larger capacity firearms. This coming from a guy who carried wheel guns more than any other model.

All I know about ARs is how to pull the trigger, and where to spray wd40 when it quits going bang. haha
..and I now have a couple more in the collection. yeeeehaw
-
Wd-40 on firearms? Shame on u Kenny!
-
bahahahahaha.
Hey, it's better than urine!
-
Slightly, maybe......
All I can say is u musta went to the Hillary firearms training for dummies seminar......
However, I have a good friend who has a couple 10/22 rugers that all he has ever done to them is sprayed the action heavy enough that Wd-40 poured out the end of the barrel & hung them up by the stock to let them drip dry. He does this after every hunt or shoot & they always work the next time, no joke.
-
Old school for sure.
-
So, does anyone know the essential ingredient of WD-40.
The stuff that made this formula, test formula #40 a keeper?
-
Yes, good ole fish oil.
So, even though it is a better cleaning solution, it does have the fish oil to repel water and provide minimal lubricant.
-
We have a winner!
Yup, fish oil!
Another useless factoid.
In the "Posi" differentials of old, around the 60's ish to prevent the chattering of the clutch plates, GM would have you add a pint of friction modifier to the oil back there.
That fluid was Whale Oil!

If your buying these as investments I would also consider the stripped down Colt model, MSRP on those right now is $700, they can be had pretty close to what the DPMS units are going for. Just a thought.
-
Locally, and at cabelas/basspro in phoenix are both out of colts, armalites, and bushmasters...colt was my first choice.
I ended up with these from cal Ranch, 2 andersons and a ruger. I really like the ruger for the price. I guess they had dpms 308s for 799 last week and ran out (darn it);

TRN, just let it go...... It's not worth it, we've already covered his affinity for H & apparently she had some gun cleaning course he attended..... ::)

Ooooh, shiney! Mongo like....... ;D

Okay so total dot here....isn't the lube ability of WD-40 an accidental side effect? "WD" stands for Water Displacement and it was designed to keep things dry....yes that's how it prevents/reduces rusting bit it was not designed as a lube per se. Not that it matters I s'pose.... ::)
-
Want to know a good lube to use if you're planning on spending a bit of itme at the range.... Motor oil.
-
I was kidding on the wd40 thing mr Wil....well almost. When I was a kid, I used it quite a bit on my old marlin 22. Cleaning wasn't part of my skill set back then.(only a small part now. lol) It's actually a pretty bad lubricant.

30w mobile one full syn, what I use on the ar's. Wallyworld sells it in the gallon jug too.....
