    My Del Ton plan

    Having bought one recently at a gun show, and not really having done any research prior, here I am. I've got myself a new 16" Del Ton "piece of crap" and 1500 rounds of ammo for starters. I shot about 150 rounds through it a couple weeks ago in an hour and I had a great time. I bump fired a three round burst from the shoulder on my first try. That was fun, too.

    I've been shooting handguns, rifles and shotguns for over 40 years, but am new to the AR world. If I were to start over, I'd have built one with top quality components. But I didn't. I was impulsive. C'est la vie.

    I did get a really nice scope: Trijicon TR24, green triangle and a Trijicon/Bobro mount. Now, I want the rest of the gun to go with the scope. I've also got a Battlecomp 1.0 on the way. But back to my plan.

    Here's MY PLAN ...

    I will pound the hell out of this rifle and see what happens. I will run it till it breaks (or doesn't) and report back.

    I have lots of money. Although I do not like to waste money, this is good for my plan. If I were on a low budget, my plan would not be attractive.

    I have land to shoot whatever and whenever I want. This also is good for my plan.

    My life is not on the line with this rifle. This is good for my plan.

    I intend to take some instruction and get into 3-gun comp. I'll run it there, and if people laugh, that's their problem, not mine.

    I have a backup plan, too. If this rifle is a piece of junk, I'll buy a really good one next. If this rifle holds up well, I'll still buy a really nice one next. Better yet, I'll build one and report back.

    I have lots of money.


    Maybe you can use this money to go into rehab to get off those drugs.

    I don't do drugs. Stopped that in the 80's.

    If this thread turns into a cluster**** I will lock and pound those reponsible.

    To the OP. If you have so much money why didn't you do any research prior to buying it?

    I hope that I never have a "Del-Ton Plan".
    Hope you can get extracted.



    I agree, do some research next time.

    As a wise man used to tell me... "Its never polite to ask a man how much land he owns"... and "keep your private life private".


    Pretty sure that nobody gives a shit how much money you have. If you do have a lot of it... Give your rifle to the Boy Scouts, buy a proper rifle and learn how to use it.

    Enjoy your action plan, it appears to have been very thoroughly thought out.

    Three of four replies relating to money. Interesting.

    My post was about my plan, not about money. Reread my post and you'll find your answer regarding my research or lack thereof.

    I can see I'm poised to make many friends quickly ...

    Hey, the guy knows that it's not considered a quality gun. Nothing wrong with accepting that and moving on. It was an impulse buy...make the best of it.

    ETA: I'd expect it to fail in some way. I'm curious to see how long it goes and what failure(s) it has.

    I asked a simple question. Let me do so again more succinctly.

    1. Why did you NOT research your purchase ahead of time?

    2. What caused you to buy Delton when there was other similar prices garbage at that show?

    3. Were you influenced by gun rags or friends?
