hello all, i just picked this up from a gun dealer and they took it in on trade. does this look like a stock dpms rifle to you all? does this barrel look factory dpms to you all. i was asking so i know how to fine the twist rate of the barrel.

Every factory DPMS barrel I've seen has the caliber and twist stamped on it between the gas block and muzzle. The upper and float tube look right, the gas block and barrel maybe not. Hard to tell from the pic. Looks like a muzzle device maybe? I don't know of any bull barrels that came that way. Not for sure, but I don't think so.

Is there a sling stud? When replacing barrels on rifles with non-indexable float tubes it's a real pain to get the sling stud back on the bottom afterwards. But maybe the barrel was pulled, fluted and threaded and put back on. See if there is some caliber stamping between the flutes at all.
 
it does i see it now. dpms 308 1-10 twist. its a bull barrel with a muzzel brake on it and its about 24" barrel. yes it has the sling stud on it. what is a good gr bullet for the 1-10 twist on the barrel? and thank you for your help
 
I had good luck with everything from 110 vmax on up to 178 amax with that twist. Probably even heavier but I never tried.
 
Not factory stock mode, do not come with fluted stainless barrel or compensator. Nice rifle. Mine did not like factory ammo, finally found a load it likes 165gr. speer BTSP.over RL-15.
