Question:
Am I missing anything?



Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To make things cheaper, look at the Aero Precision lower/DPMS parts kit $119.99
+ Mil spec buffer tube assembly, MOE stock, grip, and trigger guard.

VS

Mil-Spec MOE Stock, MOE grip, MOE Trigger Guard, CMMG Lowers Parts Kit and Mil-Spec buffer tube assembly. - $149
Spikes Tactical - $89
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Getting rid of the delta ring ($10.50), barrel nut ($8.95), and the handguard cap ($3) would give me $22.45 + the MOE handguard ($28.49) = $50.94. For $49.01 more I could have the YHM Lightweight Tactical Free Float + $18.95 for the cap.

del-ton is good to go. I have a delton middy hasnt had any problems. However my only complaint is they do use heavy barrel profile, I believe RRA does as well.

Welcome to the forum.

I hate to say this, but you should really spend some time browsing through the stickys as the top of each section and use the search function.

That said, Del-ton is not held in high regard around here.

Del-Ton isn't a good choice. SAW did have Colt LPK's for $200. May be too much for you.

why not contact one of our site sponsers about putting you together an appropiate package for your needs of dependable parts ?


ya know, buy once, cry once kinda deal ?

[PhotomanM4]

Depending on the intended use, Del-Ton has been a good service company for me and the parts were good for the intended use, casual shooting, target, ect.

[MarshallDodge]

In a midlength, Delton has a decent reputation as a plinker. For long term, high round count reliability, you can do better, their prices are low for a reason.

BCM makes high quality uppers and they have lower kits that will serve you well.
