I own a DPMS LR 308 and would like to put a quality set of sights on it or set up for backup. I looked at the Troy, but watched a guy at the range who couldn't get his to adjust low enough to sight in. Anyone with ideas or experience with their rifle help is appreciated. Also having Jamming issues with my LMT CQB, tried different mags, bullets, factory, hand loads and still get failure to feed, double feed, jams etc. Really surprised given it is a LMT. Been fighting it for six months now and about ready to give up. Any Ideas appreciated. Thanks

Call up JSE Surplus in Missouri and ask for Nick. He hooked me up with a sweet set of flip up sights for my DPMS. They are made by DPMS. About $150 plus shipping.

Could be a rough chamber, something wrong with the gas system, who knows... I'd be calling the guys who built it.

These are the sights I got from JSE. They were $75 less money than from DPMS.

Thanks for the input guys found a great big burr on the feed lips and sent the LMT back, and am looking at sights for the DPMS. Called them they said anything built for a raised gas block would work. Thanks again
