Give me some feed back on this rifle.
I have a chance to buy a new one.

DPMS 7.62 Oracle Rifle RFLR-OC.
16in HB with forward assist and adjustable stock.
Thanks for any information.
 
BUY IT.

Good price esp if it NIB!!! I guess it would depend on what calibers I already owned and use... Easy to get ammo for and reload... I say pull the trigger on it.. Or build!!! You get exactly what you want components and all straight out... I see a lot of people buy these ARs then they spend a lot more money buying a new rail, stock etc....Just something to think about!!

Yes, it is new in the box.
They had an 18in A2 floating forearm but no forward assist for $940.
I have a rail, if I can find it. I found some DPMS 20 round magazines at MidwayUSA for $28ea.
This my first A-10 and my first DPMS.

Someone tell me about triggers, who makes a good A-10 trigger?

Here are your triggers & all are good, just have to find them in stock though...... triggers
 
Looks like a fair deal to me!!! I dont own a DPMS so IMHO I would do a search/research any issues with this platform and see how it plays out.. On the surface it looks like a good one to me!!!

Midway has a pretty good selection right now too...

Cost is more than he's getting it at too! At least for a Bushy ORC 16". I read somewhere they were made by DPMS or vice-versa.
 
I have not had any trouble with my LR-308.
Price sounds good considering that's what I paid for AP4 ~couple years ago.
The 18" A2 if barrel is SS Bull may offer a little better accuracy, and the forward assist/dust cover is not really needed, although JMO, they just don't look quite right w/out, unless equipped w/side charge handle.
Decent accuracy can be achieved even with factory triggers IME.

Fathers day brought me a new 30-30 (Marlin 336) and the guy said sorry we have no ammo, I told him I had that covered, I`ll reload my own.
Congratulations on your new rifle.
Local Scheels sporting goods had some .308 in stock yesterday but I forget what brand. Hopefully you can find some.
 
Don't spend any money on a trigger until you remove the current trigger, clean and lube the sears and the bottom of the hammer with grease before reinstalling. It's surprising how much the trigger of an AR can be improved just by lubing it with grease

Thanks, It went from 5 1/5 to 4 1/5.
