DPMS Panther question

Help Support TNDeer | Tennessee Deer:

like stik said they are all pretty much the same functionally,,but some have better triggers and handguards and stuff,,but the DPMS is a fine weapon.
 
Thanky sirs. I regret selling my RR and while I dislike the handgaurd on the dpms I'm lookin at, it does fit really nice and is relatively cheap. And I also have about 500 cases for .223 on my bench ;)
 
I dont like the hand guard on my High Standard either,,and the trigger is a little heavy,,but it will shoot groups with my R15 all day,,

I guess for a battle rifle the trigger is OK but I am gonna replace the hand guard at some point,,

I like the triangle lookin hand guards from the Colts,,but want a rail on the bottom

Things to look for in a good AR...
1. Is the gas key staked
2. If it has an adjustable M4 style stock, is the castle nut staked
3. Are the bolt carrier group, chamber, and barrel chrome lined
4. Has the bolt been magnetic particle tested (it will have an "MP" engraved on it if so
5. Does it have good upper/lower fit, can it be disassembled/assembled easily by hand
6. Does it pass a basic function test a.pull the bolt back and chocolate chip cookie the weapon b.place the weapon on safe and pull the trigger, it shouldn't fire c. Place the weapon on fire, pull the trigger, the hammer should fall d. without releasing the trigger, recharge the weapon, release the trigger, and listen for reset (you will feel and hear a soft, distinct click)

If it passes all these little tests, it is probably good to go. If not, I would be leary and look at something else. In my opinion, the best AR out there for the money right now is the Smith & Wesson M&P15.
 
My DPMS Panther AP-4A. Good rifle for the price. I don't care for the hand guards either. I'm eventually going to replace them with Magpul MOE guards.

I like my DPMS Panther Special (24" fluted bull barrel) I also have a R-25 in 243 that is pretty accurate. It is also made by DPMS, even tho it has Remington stamped on it.
