    DPMS Recon Tactical .308 for $900?

    Sorry, no group size pics yet, just shot the 20 rnds into an old 5 gallon LP tank in the backyard. But here are some riflr pics. I think they'll get along fine, but one will definitely be jealous! Now that's an ejection port! What a difference in barrel thickness! It'll be funny to see...

    DPMS Recon Tactical .308 for $900?

    I'm actually a piston, op rod guy but also realize a DI AR is a solid system! I just want a rifle that will feed and extract reliably with good accuracy and figured that the DPMS would also be upgradeable. And a Happy birth day to you too, I'm celebrating the Big 50! There will be much shooting...

    DPMS Recon Tactical .308 for $900?

    I'll let it be known that tomorrows my B-day and I have had a couple Bourbons tonight. I've got friends saying get this and get that, like a SA scout squad, or Socom 16, or Get a Armalite, ect. I usually get something a little different, In 7.62x39 I didn't go with an AK but instead got a...

    DPMS Recon Tactical .308 for $900?

    I've got a POF vs. Sig 716 thread going and now I can get a DPMS Recon .308 for $900. Is this something that can be turned into a rifle that would be competitive to a POF or Sig 716 given the $1000 to $1200 price difference? Thanks once again for the knowledge.

    POF 308 Tactical or Sig 716?

    The POF I'm looking at is the black anodized one, Is it a big difference in long term wear between it and an NP3 coated one?

    Pof sucks period

    POF is still on my short list for a piston driven AR. Came upon this to late to read the original post but feel I've got the gist of it enough for it not to concern me to much.

    POF, Hogan or F&D Defense?

    Hope I didn't start anything here with either the F&D production or POF, Hogan deal. I've read about the length of time for F&D and am willing to to wait for what I want. Heck im waiting going on 14 months for a holster! Also checked out the law suit stuff, messy. I changed the post title to...

    POF, Hogan or F&D Defense?

    Pretty new around here and am looking for anyone with experience on the posted platforms. My wife is getting me a rifle for my 50th B-day and these are the ones I've narrowed it down too. Not a big fan of DI, more of an Op-rod kinda guy, Socom, Mini-14, AR-180. I like the engineering in the F&D...
