[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 903710, member: 35183"] The only AR I owned was a DPMS chambered in 7.62x39. Magazines would not feed, period. Was sighted in by hand loading single shot. Reworked all the magazines myself (C products went out of business and new owner would not honor warranty issues specific to the 7.62x39). Accuracy out of the box was 2.5MOA regardless of load. Ultimately put in a $100 CMMG 2 stage trigger of modern design and concluded that the DPMS barrel was a 308 barrel and not a .310 like an AK or SKS. Made reloads using 123gr 308 bullets and together with the new trigger it shot 1MOA. Any factory 7.62x39 ammo was 2.5MOA due, I believe to the fact that the barrel was not a proper match for the ammo. Just another cheap trick used by DPMS instead of ordering the proper barrel. Yes, DPMS do sell quality uppers with better stainless barrels. They totally erased all info on the 7.62x39 from their website and refused to answer any questions on their forum regarding the rifle. I started to doubt I would even get spares for it. So it ultimately got traded for a dirt bike around election time and the guy who got it was pretty glad to get his hands on an AR. [/QUOTE]
