No you can't go wrong with a good ole ak fo-seven.

I'd rather carry an AK over a DPMS or the likes.

Were you taking those packages to put under the tree?

Okay, I own both the platforms you have named the Del-Ton and the DPMS. Sorry folks but I'll stack both little black rifles up against anything you want to put against them. The Colt the Stag any of them. The design is the same the manufacture process is the same just not in the same building. I shoot 1" groups with both and can with any of them. Save your cash for the ammo and the add-on's. This crap of thinking you have to have a "NAME" is ridicules. Stick to your budget and enjoy learning to shoot your weapon. Hard to have fun when you can't afford the ammo after you have spent all your cash on the toy....

When you get up from your bench rest let us know.

I've heard Delton buys out all there parts and they have had some issues in the past. And, I read that in a review of LPKs DPMS had more out of spec parts then the other brands reviewed. Who really knows. I've also read this debate on a lot of other forums, when you start talking ARs under 700 bucks you're pretty limited. The S&W MP Sport is in the same price range (maybe a little cheaper, saw them for as low as 639 before Christmas. There about 680 now) , comes with sights, and if you check other forums you will never find a bad post about them. If your budget is limited, you might check them out. They are not mil spec but everyone says they are extremely reliably and accurate for an in expensive rifle. I looked at them a few months back and they seem to be built failyr well, and I preferred the feel over the DPMS and the Delton. Just my 2 cents

I have Deltons at a good price with reasonable shipping on my website. The company has a good story and I feel the brand is very up and coming. The rifles I stock are from a reputable distributor. Take a look.

There's no doubt a low cost AR can do the job for many buyers. And don't forget PSA and Spikes give you a lot for the money, plus like JBush I haven't seen many bad reviews of the S&W M&P-15 Sport, so some are better than others. For example not many continue to defend Vulcan, Hesse and Blackthorne even though you can upgrade them with milspec parts.

This doesn't have to be a peeing contest, if you like a low cost AR, great. But don't say they're as good as ... I really don't get pleasure pointing out problems but as you get more immersed in the differences between manufacturers you do see important areas where corners should not be cut. If you know what to look for an extra $100-200 can give you a better and more reliable rifle. Your decision, your rifle.

That's right. And because most less expensive AR's will be all the casual/recreational shooter will ever need, it may very well seem that they function just as reliably as the colt, etc being fired on the berm next to them.

Employ them in the activities pursued by some on this thread...I think MJ is a 3 gun competitor for example...and they're not going to hold up blow for blow with the higher end rifles. They're just not going to.
