Now we just need a big enough sample size to decide if they really are "as good." Great to see them putting out an (apparently) quality product!! The more the merrier!

The specs are good. I agree that Robs chart has done a lot for the platform when it comes to manufactures. There are fewer cutting so many corners and are trying to put out a better product.
My only concern is while they may HPT/MPT the bolt, chamber, etc; is it done for each and every one, or is it done via batch testing?
If it is batch, I am still not going to buy one. However, if it is every single one, then I see nothing wrong with it.
hey if Delton can figure things out good for them. I do as many have stated, worry about the consistency of their products. One of my good friend's builds many delton kits for people and he says two identical rifle kits can be complete opposites as far as qc.
Yeah when he mentioned that in his rra fetish video i stopped listening to him.
It is interesting how one man's "Extreme Duty" is another man's base line spec...
Im impressed that they are paying attention. I dont think its going to turn around their reputation immediately, but the proper steps seem to be taken to possibly compete with top tier guns. Thats never a bad thing

DTI could sell badge-engineered Colt's rifles and internet forum posters would still call it a POS based on the name alone and without ever actually evaluating the product for real.
If they are selling better quality rifles, that is awesome...but it will take a long time to change their image with the AR enthusiast public.
Time will tell. PSA looks good on paper, too but have had some issues. Regardless, I won't buy one.
Acta Non Verba
My brother in law has a Del-Ton...not sure what model it is. It's a non chrome lined bore and chamber. But the bolt was marked HP/MPI...Guys it may have been, but it's just not the same quality as BCM, or Colt. It's just not. The finish isn't the of the same quality. The F'n Firing Pin seemed like it was made of ground magnesium... it was cheesy. It may have met mil spec...but barely. And I really doubt it was every bolt but rather batch tested.
I just wouldn't put it on par with Colt, BCM, LMT, DD, LWRC, Etc. Honestly, I wouldn't put Del-ton on par with Bushmaster, Stag, Doublestar, or any other fly by night carbine maker.
