Both upper and lower are DPMS.
Fairly accurate, even with ‘cheap’ ammo. It’ll put every round into the center ring on a target at 100m.
Sweet!
Not if you shoot them with .308 from 600yrds...
Here’s to advancement!
The tool on mine is a bullet button. There is even some argument that you have to load the gun from the top rather than removing the Magazine to be legal. CA is nuts...
I sold my AK-47 to an out of State buyer, the only way you can sell a registered “Assault Weapon” in CA. Sold it for two reasons, needed the money and I wanted to be taken off the State Assault Weapon Owner Data Base. Just a little too much Big Brother for my taste.
I advise you to get the CA Legal AR, or any firearm for that matter, before Moonbeam and his cronies outlaw them as well. Isn't it wonderful living in a Police State that has no regard for the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence?
Good night, all!
If you are going to waste your money at least go with quality, and get a GALIL.
why are you still living there? Why won’t republicans and conservatives boycott these socialist states like democrats did to arizona? move out of that stinking state. If all of the conservatives left they wouldn’t have money to pay for the 80% of garbage in california.
Asked my son what he wanted for Christmas.
“Peace on earth, good will toward men.” was his reply.
I got him a DPMS Panther AR-15.
I told him it was a do-it-yourself project.
While I do have two AR platforms one being a post ban with carry handle and the other a preban flat top with a red dot scope they are basically as simple as can be.
My M1A is slightly tuned up, I picked up a fiberglass GI M14 stock, filled in the select fire notch, embedded some pieces of carbon fiber hunting arrows inside the for end so it would be more rigid at the front clamp with JB Steelweld and made sure the op rod cleared them, I painted the stock in black “wrinkle” paint applied with a hot air gun.
And the areas where there is the checkering I used a paint called stone spatter paint in dark grey, makes for a gritty tough texture. All the metal parts on the buttstock like the plate and door was painted with ceramic black header paint and baked.
Other than a modified First Generation SA aluminum mount that I made reliable and a 2.5x10x50 Leupold NM tactical scope its pretty much stock. I did add a laceup high rise cheek pad. I would really love to have the JAE stock, I hear Promag will have one that looks just like it but its made out of polymers and carbon fiber, for around $300.
This is my serious shooting iron, if I were to do anything else for the AR platforms I would go with the .450 or 6.5 conversion. I just simply do not trust the .223 unless its one of my exotic reloads like with a Barnes Triple shock or Varmint grenade. I do have some 75gr. loads for “if and when”.
I have had good luck with Bushmaster AR15s. They seem better then the service rifles I carried. I have an Armalite AR10 as well. It seems pretty nice. Gonna work up some target loads for it this summer and I hope to see 1 MOA. We’ll see. I have seen a bushmaster xm15e2s (Bushmaster’s standard AR15) with a trigger job and a nikon scope shoot about .25 moa incidentally (it might have been closer to .223 moa-hole for hole actually).
My kids are amazed at how scary accurate I am with mine.
With standard issue open sights.
There ya go!
Looks to be a low numbered gun.
I have one very similar, except it has custom sights mounted in the rear.
Roger that. “One shot, one kill” works for snipers. I’m no sniper but when you have a finite supply of ammo and no more is coming, it’s a good philosophy to follow.
The last place I know of with a supply of M44 carbines is Hunters Lodge.
Hmm, does that mean CA doesn’t like the Thompson in my closet my father snuck home from WWII?
