I am money tight, but want to get into the AR fold-- While I was looking at doing a total build, the DPMS Sportical caught my eye--
It doesn't have all the features I want. but all I need-- and they are running mid $600s-about $700 here in the Dallas area. I figured thta I could get one and at least have a good shooter-- and later get another upper-- and in time if I get enough for a COlt or something, I can convert the DPMS into .22 or something else "fun"...
I am not that against the lack of a FA, dust cover, or a shell deflector-- I am a righty, carried an A2 for 4+ years in the grunts (USMC 91-97) and never used an FA, and my dust cover usually had a broken springand would just flop around-- thus it usually got a piece of duct tape to hold it down.
I am sort of sold on it as an affordable and reliable shooter-- and it looks that they have a 5.56 chamber (which is ok if it did or didn't-- I probably wil lonly be putting .223 through it anyway)..
Just want an opinion of anyone who may have one or have shot one here---
Thanks! 8)
