That's not bad. I like my DPMS rifles and this would be an affordable way to get a new rifle rifle or a backup.

If you're okay with DPMS it looks like a great deal, and you get to learn how to put on the teeny tiny clip that holds the ejection port door on.

No bolt and carrier in the photo of the Lite option, but the other package has it shown.

Got that notice in an Email the other day.



The barrel extension, gas block, bolt and carrier seem to be assembled, if that helps.

No bolt carrier group.

So if you buy a lower receiver and this kit you have everything you need?

Yup. You need an action block and barrel wrench to put the upper together and a few other tools. Good learning experience though it you like that kind of thing.

Any idea if the bore is chrome lined?  I wouldn't think so for that price though.



It is still a pretty good deal.

That's what I'm thinking. I already have 2 ARs but they were bought as complete but separate uppers and lowers.



I just wish I had some extra money laying around.

My educated guess would be that neither has a chrome lined barrel.

Good luck getting it from them.

I ordered 10 lower parts kits from them over a month ago... and finally just cancelled the order this week.

Great pricing doesn't mean squat if they can't deliver.

I bought two of the barrels that's included in the kit pictured around a year ago, they're not chrome lined but accuracy is good and they're very light.  Just an FYI.

If I wasn't a poor college student, I would consider getting that for a backup gun.  I have an extra lower and Larue BUIS laying around.

I've had good luck with their email specials like that. Those seem to come out when they have excess inventory, so they run a kick-ass special until they are all gone. I got 2 complete assembled varmint type uppers for $450 each around last Christmas or so, IIRC. Placed my order, and I had them in less than a week.





So yeah, if they do an email special like that and you order, you're good to go.

    One kit has a fixed front sight with a thin barrel, the other has a thicker barrel with no front sight, just a gas block with a rail machined into the top for a fold down front sight.

    Oracle is the thicker barrel without a front sight, lite comes with a pencil barrel and fixed front sight. Also the oracle does not come with an ejection port door assembly.
