Ok so back on topic, I am unsure what to get (brands aside) I am assuming that I need a short frame type bolt carrier and bolt yes? (DPMS GenII) I would also need to check headspace on the new set up yes? How do i rectify if it is different as I have heard people having spare bolts and carriers and wondered how they do that?

All they ever use is emotion when making laws. This "panic" is starting to show people's true colors, politicians and every day people.

Since DPMS is no longer and I want to shoot my Gen2 I will need some back up parts. I'm thinking (trouble!) that the part that would fail would be the bolt or the extractor, which leads me to my question, can I buy just the bolt or would it be better to get bolt and carrier together? What about head space? And lastly who makes a compatible setup?

It's got a 4 groove barrel.

They are various inspectors stamps to show that it passed an inspection.

I adopted a Remington 1903A3 Friday, it was built late 1943 it appears to be almost original except for the milled trigger housing when it should have a stamped R marked housing, other than that I am very happy with it it joins my Smith Corona 03A3 and a Rock Island 03.

I didn't think about Remington owning the patents. From what I have read and there is conflicting info on proprietary parts and who was allowed to produce them. I don't think that Remingtons ARs come close to GenII specs not do they care.

Now that DPMS is out of business are the Patents null and void or do they go until they expire? The reason I ask is could someone start making GenII compatible parts? Adams Arms has a few things as I believe they had an agreement before DPMS closed down and supposedly F4 Arms also has compatible uppers and maybe parts? A source of GenII compatible parts would give me a piece of mind for the future. Starting over with another brand is a non starter so,,,,,

My submission a Ruger LW Commander.

It would appear that Remington is dropping Bushmaster, DPMS and TAPCO https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/is-remington-leaving-the-msr-market-dpms-bushamster-and-tapco-sites-are-shuttered/?fbclid=IwAR36FkM3q3h1HEqXXwY3PRsUmLRJa9yjMB9SelNk4iv_prCpT2R1iyrddG0

So there i was minding my own business reading through old threads and I kept reading about the Shockwave (i have seen them before) and saw that this wasn't some gimmick. Sooo..... I went a traded in some old rifles for the Cerakote stainless model. I have to get the insert so I can shoot minis, not sure if I will get a brace for it or not.

Bad ass paint job, oh and welcome!
