    Good luck with your rifle.

    Keep an eye on the bolt lugs.
    They have been known to completely shear off at low round counts.

    I didn't want anyone congratulate me on a low end purchase.

    I didn't say that this is as nice or well made as a Colt or Noveske or DD.

    I wasn't trying to make it out to be.

    I think it would be appropriate for a moderator to lock this thread or delete it.

    I would advise getting a spare fire control group. I have seen factory Deltons that had problems with this.
    Thank you. I appreciate the advice!

    Will do. Why does this happen? Poor QC? Even though they are MPI? or are they only batch tested?

    Congrats on your new rifle. I've never had any issue with DT parts. If its up to mil-spec then it should work just fine.

    After all mil-spec is the lowest common denominator that the gov requires.

    A friend of mine had his Bushmaster lugs shear off years ago. He was shooting M193. Cool part was...I was looking right at the ejection port at the time. BIG ball of flame came out. I am left-handed, and I was also shooting the rifle that day. I am pretty sure I would have been missing eyebrows if I was shooting it when the lugs failed.

    That's why we wear safety glasses.

    Then why post? Nothing wrong with posting something you bought if you want to review it or back up assumptions or beliefs with real world results. But why post something assuming it will be locked?
