USMCbassman, Like the others have said, thank you for your service. My son is an Airborne Ranger, stationed in Savanah, GA. I have been curious as to the quality of the DPMS .308's. I had one of their AR-15's a couple of years ago and had all kinds of problems with it. I changed to Rock River Arms and have had nothing but great luck with them. The only reason I have an Armalite AR10 instead of an RRA AR10 is the deal I got on it. I hope your goves you meny thousand rounds of problem free shooting.
