Hi guys. Any opinions on AR rifle quality coming from Delton?
Comments
I've heard quality is hit or miss, my experience is that they're OK for the money spent. Just my experience.
Traded it off for something else.
If you can handle the gun b4 you buy it. Make sure the bolt carrier has forward assist cuts on it. Mine didn't and I never noticed till I sold it as I don't use the forward assist.

It is not considered one of the top names.
I think one of the reasons that's the case is Delton doesn't pay for marketing of their products other than their add in shotgun news. You're not going to read a magazine article about Delton products like you are Bushmaster, Rock River, etc.
Delton is a parts company. Selling complete rifles is pretty new for them. Doesn't suprize me as it's really easy to get your name on a stripped lower these days.
I have not seen a lower receiver of thiers, but I would put their quality at the same level as DPMS. The nice thing with Delton is that chrome lined barrels are available where I don't believe DPMS even offers it.
Rock River (as far as AR's go) started out pretty much the same way.
A friend has put a couple thousand rounds through his without any issues

Getting a little closer to sub 700 dollar gun now.
The most recent gun show I went to I witnessed one go out the door for 600, and another for 650.
Now's the time to buy if you can.
