Just recently sold a misbehaving 20" RRA I'd had for a few years. I got it back running, but decided I wanted something different so I sold the problem child and settled on a Del-Ton kit. Here's the specs: Stag Lower 16" Midlength Kit M4 Ramps Phantom FH CTR Mil Spec Stock Miad Grip Magpul Trigger Guard 11" Larue MI Front and rear BUIS TD Vertical Grip Magpul Rail Covers And the pictures (Sorry they aren't very good): http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f365/adamkol/Stag003.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f365/adamkol/Stag002.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f365/adamkol/Stag001.jpg As far as Del Ton is concerned, I was pretty damn pleased. I visited their booth at the Charlotte Gun Show a couple months ago and bought my Stag Lower from them. Very helpful asking questions. Chris also agreed to install the Larue tube which I had shipped to them so I was able to get exactly what I wanted even though they didn't carry Larue. The kit took a while to get, due to back ordered barrels, but they were up front about the wait and delivered when promised. The only issue was they accidently sent a comercial buffer tube and I needed a Mil Spec. Dealing with them over the phone was down right pleasant. They responded quickly and I had a replacement in just 2 business days. I've got to say, both in my personal life and at work I am continually dissapointed in the level of customer service you encounter these days. Del-Ton is a shining example of phenominal customer service and proof that there are still a few companies out there that know how to treat a customer. Every company has a screw up every now and then. I know I'll deal with Del-Ton again in the future cuz if they do screw up, they make it right. Anyway, my first lower build went fairly well. I knicked the lower up a bit trying to install one of the roll pins, but hardly noticeable. Thanks to this site and all the knowledgeable contributors all the information is available to put one together very easily. I was amazed really, at what a piece of cake it was. I'm thinking about doing another already. Anyway, I'm really happy with how it turned out, and a trip to the range tomorrow will tell me how she runs. I just got 1,000 rounds of American Eagle so I'll get her broke in good. Now I just need to decide on an optic. adrock1 |
I too am quite pleased with Del-ton's parts and service. The didn't have the barrel kit I wanted so I called them. Instead of a 'no we don't sell it that way' I got a 'yes sir we can package it like that for you at the same price'! Then to top it off they had it shipped the next day. Finally got to shoot it yesterday and it all works wonderfully.

Thanks for the complements. Yeah, I'm pleased with the ctr. I've handled some other M4 style collapsible stocks and the CTR is noticeably more stable. I like the simple looks of the thing as well. By the way, I had it at the range today but it was far from a succesful test. I'd planned on shooting my savage 308, a MAK 90 I'm considering buying from a buddy, and the new Del-Ton. Well, in my haste this morning, I left all my mags for the AR on the kitchen counter. So the best I was able to do was hand feed one round at a time. I got the thing on paper at 25 yards. It was tedious, but will save me the effort of doing it on my next range trip. Accuracy was decent I tought. Ten rounds in about 1.5" off hand with the flip ups. We'll have to see how she does next time when I'm a little more prepared. Adrock1 |
Man, you make me so jealous. I took a job last fall overseas, and the last thing I did was buy a stripped lower and gave it to a friend to hold for me for when I get home in 3 years. While surfing the web, I saw Del-Ton's mid-length special, and bought it and had it shipped to my buddy. He assembled the thing, and is currently shooting it and sending pics. I still have 2.3 years until I can get home and shoot it myself.
