William Flatt Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 I'd like to get my DPMS AR10 done in multicam.

I just paid $200 for a four color job on a whole rifle, it included stock, grip, and magazines that matched in with the camo pattern though. You, my friend, got a great price for an entire rifle- sounds like 6 pieces total.

I bring him a ton of business. He charges me $80 for a basic one color on three pieces job. He also knows I am never in a rush so he can work my stuff when he has slack time. Could be is is sucking me in, I seem to be spending more and more there as his skill level increases

They make an AR15 version too, also called an Oracle if I'm not mistaken. Brb gonna go to their website & see about pulling that up.

William Flatt Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Yes they do. https://www.dpmsinc.com/308-ORACLE_ep_99-1.html
sketch Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 looks like a dpms sr25 pattern.. bet they would get sued using the Ar-10 in the description!

It's like a Mustang and a 'Vette both being sportscars, but that doesn't make those terms synonymous or interchangeable. We differentiate pointedly to try to save newcomers compatibility issues between varying platforms. There are unfortunately a good many vendors marketing "AR-10" parts to unwitting customers who don't know that their Rock River .308 isn't actually an "AR-10" like the chump at the gun show told them.
William Flatt Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) And so if you have a xerox machine that's not made by XEROX, do you seriously refrain from calling it a xerox machine? This is semantics. If it's an AR-derived platform, it's an AR, even if it's not made by Armalite. Same argument applies to 1911's. But I accept your point about differentiation. I know there are minute differences between AR10, LR308 and SR25. I wasn't trying to pick a nit when I said AR10. I guess that's why I felt compelled to add that it's a DPMS.

This is semantics. It's certainly about semantics, and proper nomenclature, especially in this realm. That's exactly it - using your analogy, do you think that if you ordered a part for your knockoff copy machine, and ordered the actual XEROX part... would it even FIT?... Or did you just "generalize", not knowing, and get a real XEROX part that doesn't fit your off-brand copier... Who's pissed when that part shows up?... Only YOU can be pissed, because you didn't know enough to order the correct part from the get-go... There's a difference, and you didn't know that... but now you do... What do you do when you want ink packs for your copier/printer? If you have a Lenox, do you just go grab some HP ink packs from Wal-Mart?... No, that doesn't work in your copier/printer, and you're pissed, and take them back - because you didn't know what you were buying in the first place. Maybe that makes sense now, or not...

William Flatt Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Thank you for the differentiation. I'll endeavor to be more precise for the sake of those who follow.

Everyone and their neighbor refers to the large ARs as AR-10s, it's common as all get out. You did specify DPMS and that's to your credit. I'm not jumping you here, but trying to explain why you would be asked to differentiate. Future questions about modifications to your rifle, or someone else's rifle, will likely be contingent upon the specifics of the brand/model. Calling everything an AR-10 causes problems when we make recommendations based on invalid information.
Rsquared Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Got two 7.62 raptor charging handles coming from DSG. Saw an email showing them on sale for 61 bucks. Couldn't believe it. Hit up the site and there they were. So I pounced on two of them.
Belt Fed Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Diamondback arms calls theirs DB10's and DB15's. Adams arms calls theirs a P1
Belt Fed Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 There will be no more guns or accessories for me for a while, I need a new roof.

unforgiven Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) That sucks my roof is 15yrs. Roofer said maybe 5 more. Good luck brother 👍 I had drywall delivered earlier of course it was pouring rain. Edited June 24, 2019 by unforgiven Had to get a 🍻
Belt Fed Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 This one is 18 years old., guess it's time. ahh well, I didn't need another gun anyway.😟
DNP Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 I have one on the list....one I have to buy before I need a new roof and the walls that support it. The big open spot in this photo is getting ready to have a house spring up out of it. I’m hoping to submit plans within the next few weeks and in might be a few behind that before I can pull a permit. I have dollars ear-tagged for one really special gun.
unforgiven Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 Ice shield check gutters. I put perfferated metal on the gutters to keep them clean. Came down 5" downspout to pop up drains 6' from house.
DNP Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 I have a 5000 gallon tank my wife wants me to send all the downspouts to. 🤦🏼♂️
