Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.


Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?



Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

They’re not Daniel Defense but they’re ARs for not a ton of money.

Maybe things are mellowing. Or if you’re wanting one...
Depends on what happens tomorrow. If things go bad, I fear the following days/weeks/months could make the Sandy Hook scare look like a buyer's market.

Last time I checked on a LMT (that's the gun I've been wanting for awhile now) they were about $2000+, IIRC, about 2 years ago. DD's will be about the same. That's brand new. You might be able to find a used one or "new/old stock" for maybe $1600-$1800?

Never saw either a DD or a LMT under $1500. But I don't check on them constantly; just around my birthday or X-Mas.

Damn I’ll half to stash a lot more cash than I realized for one, I’ve got a dpms that I’ve never shot I read somewhere that it was on the lower end? Not the quality that your talking with the lmp or dd.

My hunch is that Biden will win and the already insane gun market will get even crazier.

That’s why I finally broke down and bought my handgun Saturday.

Now, ammo for it is another matter.

DPMS isn't a bad manufacturer. They're mass production guns, and within that 'niche' they are decent weapons. They just aren't built to the military specs of something like a DD or LMT. DPMS is kind of "entry-level," so to speak. Doesn't mean bad though. Just not as beefy, and the fit-and-finish isn't nearly on the same level.

But if you really want one, LMT, DD, Wilson Combat, etc., are all great weapons. And they'll last several lifetimes.

Just bought a DPMS a couple of months ago. Not in the elite range but seems to shoot well and is accurate. Beginning to reload. Gathering supplies has been difficult as 80% of bullets and brass our out of stock. Primers are almost non-existent. Cost almost 400 dollars for 1000 small rifle and 1000 small handgun.

Are you telling us that just 2,000 primers cost nearly $400?

That's complete robbery.

Yeah the gun I was ranting about in the above posts is a DPMS that I just had rebored. It is a shooting SOB right now, but now impressed how it came out of the factory.

Between you, me and the fence post, if my life was on the line and the thing I needed to kill was 250 yards or less, I would be reaching for one of my AK's anyway. Those things never jam.

My first AR was a DMPS. Had it for 10 years now, never had any problems with it. It's now part of two different rifles; I have the lower on my scoped rifle, and the upper and original barrel on the red dot rifle. It was easier to switch the lowers than remount the peripheral hardware.

Yeah my gunsmith loves them. It's just luck of the draw that I got one with issues, that had to be taken care of.

One of the reasons I got the DPMS in the first place is because a gunsmith told me it was a favorite of local cops.

There's always going to be a few bad apples, though. Glad you finally got it fixed.

Yeah me too. I can't tell you how close that thing came to being tossed in the river, left to rust and returned to mother earth.
