They do these every so often, i not a fan of dpms but this seems like a great deal for a truck or hunting club ar.
What do you guys think about the price?

Im thinking its a hell of gun to experiment in the woods with lol

hey you close to Marks!!I got that email too!

From the specs, that is the Sportical with a railed gas block. No forward assist - no ejection port cover. - bare bones.
Got one for $699 NIB off Gunbroker a couple of weeks ago.
Seller was Fins, Feathers and Furs in Ashland, OH
This is my first AR purchase to get acquainted with the platform and to decide if I prefer it over the FAL platform that I am familiar with from South African military days.
I do not have crazy expectations, except getting to know how it operates and feels when I go plinking.

just from lil use with dpms it is really not far to take that rifle and compare againest another weapon. Using a dpms as standard AR is like using a Pinto as standard auto. Great deal, and im sure its gone be a fun gun for u, but if your feeling out if you like the overall AR platform you really should at least get one in tier 2 like a s&w or stag. However if u staked the parts on that dpms and maybe upgraded the furniture im sure it would have a big upside. Either way that is a "FUN" price if u know what i mean. Marks Outdoors is the country club of the gun locales around here, and sometimes they sip way to much of their own koolaid, but who the hell really else is there. No offense but the guys at gun celler are soooo bad that i believe they have not only lost many individual sales over arguing with customers and you know the usual post obamo arrogant firearm nazi, but i really think some customers all together never had a chance in this awesome hobby cause of those guys. At least Mark and his staff love what they do, and usually IF big IF they think u got cheese to burn, 9 out 10 times u leave dressed with the best gun/gear/ammo that money can buy.

yelp I agree with you on the Gun cellar when Tom was around it was great to do deals. I bought and sold and traded with Tom about 24 yrs, But his health is a issue now and I believe he turn His store over to his daughter.and they do have a bunch of guys that are Know it alls(so they think)
I have been using Marks for the past 5 yrs Now and one of his employee's is a good friend with my dad, I can stand in there all day and talk weapons and ammo and even if you don't have your wallet out they still treat you Good and Help you with what you want and not pull the old "you should spend the extra cash for this model" routine
-
Remember that the total price of the sportical will be more since you have to add sights to it. That and the lack of a chrome lined bore makes me think you might want to look at something nicer.

The upper dosent have a dust cover, FA(if you use it), is made of a lower grade aluminum, no CL and the good DPMS quality we have learned to hate. No thanks!
