DPMS Sweet 16

[pyscodog]

OK, so one followed me home today. Thought I got over the AR bug but something was telling me I should have one in the stable. I looked at the RRA Operator and after talking with a rep, he said I wouldn't get the accuracy I got from my RRA Predator. Doing some more looking,I saw this Sweet 16 in a rack. The owner said it was used and cut me a decent deal on it or so I think. Anyone shoot one? What kind of accuracy should I expect? Pro's/Con's appreciated. After getting it home and dis-assembling it, it looks like it hasn't been fired. No brass on the bolt and the deflector has no marks on it from ejecting brass. Very little fouling in the barrel too.

dpms barrels have shot very well for me.

I had a DPMS Sweet Sixteen which was a real shooter. I sold it to a friend who likes it a bunch.

I have the exact same response as possumal. My buddy shoots it exceptionally well!

Hope to find out soon. The trigger is a bit heavy but doesn't have that crappy rough creepy feeling that most mil-spec triggers have. Actually breaks pretty clean.

I have two of them, rock river NM triggers it both of them, both will shoot
bug hole groups at 100yds with hand loads, they also done a fine job with
fioochi 50 gr v max factory rounds. my friend has the same groups with his, with a timney
trigger. hope this helps you.

Sounding better and better!My friend has one but never shoots it. I was the first to shoot it and the last probably. IIRC it shot good.

Look up that old thread "AR 100 Shootout" or something like that. I believe the fella that started that was leading it with results from a Sweet 16.

Ahhh yes, HERE it is.

Had a six group, 5 shot average of 0.459". Not sure what trigger dmpowder was running, but it shot, that is for sure.

My stepbrother has one and loves it. Very accurate.

I've got the DPMS Low Pro Classic, thought it shot sweet until I put the Timney Trigger in; OH MY what a difference!!! It doesn't miss; I might, but it doesn't!!

 

[jschroed]

Mine is a great shooter. I couldn't be happier!

 

[pyscodog]

Picked up some JP springs for the trigger. Someone had already been in thee as the trigger was actually pretty good. I changed out the springs and now it has a really good trigger....for a pretty much stock trigger that is.

have one i put a timney 3lb trigger in, shoots factory Fiocchi 40 gr into a bug hole. thinking of having it fluted.

Sweet 16 was my 1st AR, loved it - had a Jard 3-1/2# trigger. Sold it for something more "tactical" & less accurate - M&P 15T.

Sweet 16 is the most accurate AR I've owned. Would spend lots of money trying to get the same results from many
High dollar guns.

I love mine, very accurate.
