DPMS AR Lower Parts Kit for $47.49
- Thread starter EddieCoyle

These kits work well unless you decide to use after market parts such as the trigger group, pistol grip, mag release, and safety, for example. At this point you can actually save money by purchasing the parts individually, if you can get a good deal.
Go with a CMT or LMT parts kit, much higher quality than the DPMS kit.
Here is link for a CMT Kit. http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bi...te=PDGCommTemplates/FullNav/SearchResult.html. You can also try Bravo Company at bravocompanyusa.com Try to stay away from anything DPMS or Bushmaster.

Build it yourself and save?
Has anyone completed a build and added up all the receipts. Before purchasing a complete DCM match rifle I considered building one myself. After researching all I could I came to the conclusion that I might save $50, but then had no warranty or recourse if there was a problem. I do enjoy building custom vehicles etc, and would like to build a match class upper. Any input as to how and where to justify this build would be appreciated.

Well, I added up everything I'm doing for my build and I'm at about $850.00 and Anvil Arms has a lifetime warranty....Plus, I get the gun I want, how I want it and not as the company wants to sell it to me. As for DPMS kits, I think it would depend on who supplies their parts - based on what I've read, I'd likely take a pass. This is the Internet however and you can't always believe what you read. Suffice it to say though that I've read enough negative reports about out of spec DPMS parts and rifles, that I'm leery....
Anyone or dealer cost
Can anyone purchase these parts at the same prices or are these parts dealer priced?

How high is your round count? How hard have you run them (I.E. How many rounds have you put through it in one range trip). Have you taken any classes where you have put more than 500 rounds through your rifle in a day?
