Now I just need to test it at the range.
I have been working on this rifle for going on 4 years now, and the last couple of parts arrived today. I know it's not as fancy as some of the rifles out there, but this one was assembled by me (started out with just the stripped lower to begin with). I am looking forward to seeing what kind of groups it is capable of. Rainier Arms Select barrel, 1/11 twist, 5R rifling. I picked up some 175 Sierra MatchKings to make a custom load for the rifle.

To be honest, most is DPMS. The upper, lower, BCG and handguard are all DPMS, as is the lower parts kit. The Buttstock is a DPMS as well, but it is adjustable for length of pull. The barrel is a Rainier Arms "Select" 20" barrel, 1/11 twist with 5R rifling. The gas block is a Stag railed gas block.
Planned upgrades are an adjustable 2 stage trigger and KAC handguards (if I can find a custom barrel nut for the DPMS upper). |

It is a DPMS adjustable A2 buttstock. They do not have it listed as a replacement part on their website, though some of their rifles still come with it. Try giving them a call and see if the will sell it by itself.
I picked mine up on the EE for $100'ish iirc, included the buffer tube, spacer, and screw. At the Tim DPMS had it listed for about $400 I believe. If I had to buy it on its own at full price I would probably purchase a KAC M110 adjustable butt stock for a tad more than $400. |
