One Big Ass Mistake America
I was and still am an uninformed person when I was purchasing my AR but I got kicked in the head enough here to LEARN before making a mistake and am thankful to the guys here that guided me in the right direction. I got a much better setup then if I was on my original course. I think showing someone another option is not wrong. In the end it is your opinion and you got that from experience and education and they can take it or leave it. It is their loss of gain. Good for you for speaking up.

You were deff not out of line. Some people make up their mind about something and there is nothing you can say or do to open their mind. There was nothing offensive about your post and if I were new to firearms and thought DPMS was a good rifle, I would find your post quite informative...but some people just won’t listen.
To the OP, you weren't out of line at all imo. The guys that jumped you probably didn't know what all those specs. you shared meant anyway.
"Think you used enough dynamite there Butch?"
Especially in today's AR market, better quality doesn't always mean it will cost alot more money.
To the OP, your heart was in the right place, all you can do is give the best advise you can. When it is ignored, try not to laugh too hard when you get the opportunity to say, "told you so...".
Next time, post links to the Chart and Oh no....I bought a BM, OLY, Stag, before I knew better....that will cause numerous heart attacks and get you attacked like a school of Puranas.![]()

i'm glad people like you are willing to share your opinion on things that you have researched and know about. if it were not for this site and the people on it giving their opinions and advice i would still have my first ar...a del-ton.
the day i bought it i found this site and sold the rifle the very next day for a slight profit and built a totally better gun consisting of a noveske lower, larue stealth upper, BCM bcg, DD chf barrel and DD lite rail...completely different animal than the del-ton i must say![]()
Welcome to the Interweb! They can't ALL be M4C!
QUALITY is an acquired taste - it took me a while. Let the crowd spend a fortune making their rifles "as good as" - and it's STILL not - & sometimes that becomes a better teacher, than the most wisened, reasoned, voice among us. Besides - maybe you'll be able to get some of their gear cheap, when they break up their old rifle for sale!![]()
