I wouldn't be jumping completely on the DS is crap train, until we can conclusively rule out that the rifle itself wasn't a gun show assembly special, and this or FCG components from god knows where sitting in a double star lower.

I'm sure there's plenty not to like. I'm not going to put the energy into it right now, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to let you know that if its not milspec then it might as well be mud! Double Star has become very popular in my area because there so cheap compared to most ARs. They'll definitely never find a home with me, but I'm sure there just fine as a "hobby" gun or for someone that just wants to say they own an AR.;)

Detleted post, as it was getting off topic. DevilDawg, hopefully you can pass on the info and help him get his rifle running
I would avoid any reloads that I didn't load my self. If someone was selling reloads I'm sure he was using the cheapest components possible. I'm guessing Wolf primers in combination with a light hammer spring, maybe a JP 3.5 lb. It could be a number of other things too.
