    would you guys reccomend buying a new lower or will my dpms handle fine? I did read through here and I'm not laying down thousands of rounds a year, maybe 1000 a year.

    si i'm kinda in between the two catagories

    If you're not betting your life on it... shoot, clean, repeat learn what you like and dont like ...when/if it breaks replace/upgrade as needed...

    if you are, look elsewhere..I'm sure with some reading you can figure out where...

    Glad to know I didn't waste my money. I did a bit of research before buying my M&P15A (admittedly not on this forum, hadn't discovered it yet) I knew it wasn't a top tier rifle, but since I'm a civilian shooter I felt it would be a good first AR. I only paid $850 shipped + ffl transfer fees. Lots of great info on this site.

    I grew up during the time period that BM was considered one of the best available. I had a BM in my safe when I discovered this site and saw first hand the lack of QC; zero staking on the castle nut, nearly non-existant and useless staking on the carrier key, 1/9 twist barrels, extremely heavy and gritty FCG, mis-aligned sight height on their flat top carbines. Initially it was a hard pill to swallow to hear my BM was a POS, however, having one in hand and seeing the above problems quickly convienced me that I truly did have a POS in hand.

    For those individuals that continue to insist their POS carbine is "just as good as", then D Nile isn't just a river in Egypt anymore.

    oh believe me, I know what my next rifle is..I've been eye balling the Daniel defense rifles for awhile now..

    I have played around with various brands over my time of living here next to blackwater, shot many bushmasters, never had a problem, shot rock river, and had two jams in one mag, so i'm done with them.

    but the best by far was DD, we had one of the instructors live with us(my mom worked out there in range depo) and he had DD's, usually he had 4 with him at one time, and I loved the feel of them.

    now I just have to save 1300$

    Yea I wouldn't 'avoid' them but this is still unproven ground for them. I'll definitely update on mine as I'm able to test and get it to some classes.

    Of the 3 or 4 I was issued they all produced perfect groups. Never had an issue of any kind with any of them.

    That's like saying, me, as a pilot should make a great racecar driver, or vice versa,because the skills are similar. Maybe so, but not likely. From the Les Baer rifles I've seen, both at gun shows and on the net, as a rifle maker, Les makes a great 1911. He should stick to it.

    Is this whole thread not regurgitation of the same shit that's been discussed ad nauseum on M4C for years, and in a less-organized manner?
