That's Del-Ton.  Pretty good entry-level rifle.  Search for "Del-Ton" and you'll get lots of hits.

If by entry level you mean as good as Bushmaster, DPMS, CMMG, etc. then yes indeedy they're entry level.

ETA good stuff.  My go-to is a built up Mega lower in a Del Ton complete M4 upper.

Not to start a pissing competition, but I don't think Bushmaster, DPMS and CMMG all belong in the same group.  I think you meant to say:

Worst to best:

DPMS
DelTon
Bushmaster
CMMG

The difference between a Bushmaster and Delton isn't much, you could easily swap the two, but CMMG is better than all of them.

How is a CMMG better than a Bushmaster or Del-Ton?  Assuming a M4 type weapon (flattop, m4 profile barrel, 6 pos stock, etc.) what exactly does CMMG do that the others don't.  I keep reading where people say one is better than the other but frankly I'm not sure how that is when the vast majority of parts are exactly the same.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's where you're wrong.  I'm not say Delton isn't nice, I'm just saying CMMG is nicer.

Here's why (CMMG):
T-marked
Magnetic particle tested
hard chrome plated barrel with recessed target crown
Anodized feed ramps
Proper front sight base parkerized underneath.

Delton is also parkerized under the FSB...

Yep, that's what I meant.  Not quite the quality or panache of, say, a Colt or a Wilson Combat or something of that ilk, but for sure as good as a Rock River or a Bushmaster.

Delton? As good as Bushmaster/Rock River?  Hmm...

I'd say they are right on par with:

DPMS
Olympic Arms
Century Arms

I think del-ton is a middle of the line AR,
Sure it's not a colt but it gets the job done for me.

If someone has them on the shelf, just make sure to check if they are CL barrels or not.
