NewbAR,
What is the rush? Don't get me wrong, I understand you want an AR, but attempting to fix your DPMS is going to cost more money, time and aggravation.
Sell the DPMS and then wait until you have enough money to get the Colt or whatever.

Just shoot it. Learn to manipulate it well and practice your marksmanship. Start putting away $100 a month for the 6920 and you'll have it in less than a year. At that point, sell the DPMS for whatever the market will handle and buy a good optic and light for your Colt.
Sell it save up for the real deal.
You will lose hundreds of dollars and further delay your ability to afford a firearm worthy of any "defensive duties" should you try to polish the proverbial turd. No offense, I started out with a Buhmaster as well.

What, you think the DPMS won't shoot at all? Now that he has it and understands it's got shortcomings, there's nothing wrong with shooting it while saving up money to buy a Colt. Shooting something is better than having nothing to shoot at all. As I recall, rob_s himself gave this same advice to another

Building a complete rifle from scratch and slapping an upper on a lower(which I was referring to)are two different things. I'm sure anyone with common sense, mechanical inclination and good information could relatively easily assemble an AR from parts though. In any event purchasing a comlplete upper from a known quality manufacturer and keeping his lower receiver(which is likely just fine) stripping it out and installing a quality LPK would be the op's best bet(I'm sure he could sell the upper to "somebody" and put that towards his new one), especially since cash is a concern and he wants to shoot quality now.

Thank you Jet. With this forum, Youtube and the many other resources on the web I believe someone could easily put together one of these rifles given some basic background knowledge in firearms. The route, that I will probably be taking then is to install a better lpk and later down the road get a complete upper, mainly for ease and not the fact I couldnt do it, when funding allows.
