    DPMS GII 308 rifles

    QUOTE=997/2man;3020618] A deer or hog will never know the difference, and they are trying to address my biggest bitch about some current .308 rifles: they are fucking fatties. GL. Spot on. I did not feel comfortable hunting hogs in Arkansas or big white tails in Illinois with a 5.56. My...

    got a new dpms g2 hunter on it's way. couple questions

    I have 700 rounds of 7.62 Lake City circa 2013 M80FMJ through my DPMS Gen 2 recon. No ejection or misfire or feeding issues to date. I plan on swaging the crimped mil spec primer pockets on the brass and reloading them. No brass neck or case distortions. IMO it's an unjustified worry - just...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    The charging handle on the DPMS Gen 2 charging handle is a unique length. Which was a bummer because I really like the Ranier Raptor charging handle. I plan on using a 30mm 1-6x scope in the future. So, I installed a Badger Tactical handle and modded the tension pin to go from 1/16" to a...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    I put a Nordic Components 3-gun style standard AR 13" round free float tube on my DPMS Gen 2 Recon and it fit just fine in terms of threading and gas block clearance using the standard AR barrel tools. Easy. So, IMO, most any free float standard AR tube should fit Gen 2 models with a gas...

    recoil of 308

    I'll admit that I'm 6"1' and 240 lbs. I try to have an athletic, weight forward stance, but the biggest thing is that I got rid of the quad rail and vertical foregrip, and went with a 13inch round free float tube, and shooting right handed I use the "3 gun grip" with my left arm extended and an...

    recoil of 308

    One of the most appealing aspects of the new DPMS Gen2 is that using my brother's SIG 716 and SIG 516 as references, the Gen2 we both agree handles and our perception of felt recoil is much closer to the 516. You could always add a muzzle brake or a stock butt pad, but from my experience the...

    dpms g2 catering primers

    I'm still going through a 1000 round box of a Lake City circa 2013 M80FMJ, but my brass and primer pockets in particular look just fine. Still no feed or ejection issues after 500 rounds. I fully intend to swage the crimped military primer pockets, reload it, and continue to rock out with my...

    ALG Defense triggers

    I have a new DPMS Gen2 Recon in .308, and I installed the ALG/ACT in it along with the JP 3.5 spring set and some Permatex Anti-Seize on the contact areas and I absolutely love it. Very smooth and consistent pull with a predictable roll-off. I have gone through about 500 rounds of Lake City...

    Am I just Lucky or is this For Real (DPMS Recon Scout .308!!!)

    I received my DPMS Gen 2 Recon from Dales Gun Shop in Marengo, Illinois a month ago. $1400. I have had ZERO feeding, firing, and ejection issues going through 500 rounds of Lake City M80FMJ to date. It is indeed very light for a .308 AR. I replaced the factory quad rail with a standard AR spec...
