Del-Ton AR Experience

[Silver_Bullet_00]

Anyone have a Del-Ton AR. I'm thinking about getting one? They are a local company here in NC not far from me.

Seems they have good prices for what they offer. Just wanted to know opinions from Del-ton owners or anyone familiar with them.

Good product. If you want an M-4 type go to CMMG and check out the bargain bin. Best deal in carbines.

I owned one once upon a time ago. Great rifle. To be honest, in my findings it's hard to find a fucked up AR these days. Stay away from Hesse and Oly arms (horrible Oly rifle I used to own) and you'll be quite happy with whatever you choose!

Good experience here. If you're building from one of their kits and you want something that isn't listed on the options, call them and they will accommodate you.

I have built a dedicated 22LR AR15 using their upper and lower receivers.
Fit and finish look pretty good (not as super-tight as RRA, but not even Sloppy Colt), and the transaction was really smooth.
I won't have any problem in buying from them again.

I was looking at the olimpics, but i've heard good and bad things. I Haven't heard anything bad about del-ton though.

Re: Del-Ton AR Experience

Since BCM is readily available and inexpensive, I see no need to buy DT, CMMG, Stag, Bush, RRA, Armalite, S&W.

I did have a DT "lightweight" which ran O.K. It had 1:9 twist and a few FTEs upon breaking in. Perhaps it was chambered for .223 not 5.56... I forgot what the barrel said (not that that is always accurate). I liked the profile, since it was light at the end but med under the HGs. No bad news from the guy I sold it to.
