[lx2008]

hello,

2 yrs ago i bought a new dpms gen ii ( 24in stainless bull bbl.) i just now have had time to get it out of the safe

and examine it , and try to work a good load for it. but news to me...i find out dpms had been sold and no longer

has any customer support ( that i know of ). if i have a manufacturing problem with it, how or where do i call

for any type of support/help?

or am i   s.o.o.l?

You call us, describe the problem accurately - with measurements if requested of you - and we help you fix it yourself.  Runability issues are right up our alley.

You break a part - you might indeed be SOL...

are you saying they are no longer manufacturing parts for these Gen ii rifles or any other DPMS rifle?

Phonecall to them is the only way to know. Remington killed off the DPMS brand.  Call them and ask about parts availability.

Some vendors have bought up a lot of the DPMS parts. However maybe you are worried for no reason, Do the recommended maintenance and shoot like you want to keep the rifle for your heirs, maybe you won't ever need a batch of spare parts.

yeah i have seen some of the vendors who have bought up the parts( maybe call them thieves) cuz the prices i saw before dpms went under

these parts are now over 50% higher in price. anyhow i just wanted to know if i would ever need them.

Sell the gun now - gun prices right now are pretty crazy, new and used.  Use the funds from it to build something else that will be around for awhile.

Build your own gun, From Aero Precision M5 upper and lower pieces.  It'll be around forever.  Just my $0.02 on it all - get out of that DPMS G II while the market is hot for ANY gun out there...

That's some pretty good advice right there! Unloading it while the market is hot and then custom building a more mainstream rifle makes a lot of sense.
