I'd like to know how the DPMS is holding up for you. Original barrel? Any internal upgrades?

Brighton, check out the Kimbers. Prices have become more reasonable recently. They have a model or two under 1k now.

My DPMS has never given me any issues. Yes it is the original barrel . I also use a CMMG .22lr conversion on it with the same barrel . I choose not to go with a Chrome lined barrel as it is known not to be as accurate .. I have a True M16 bolt carrier I have yet to try. Might have to change the recoil spring for it

As far as Specs ... its a M4 design . So it has the notch out for the M203. The feed ramps of a M4 . Surefire quad rail , I have some Yankee Hill fold down iron sites I need to add on as well . Oh and cont forget the PMAGS

Yep. I never noticed when I first loaded the magazine, but discovered it this afternoon when I unloaded the mag to put in some hollow points.

 
Yeeess...

I couldn't help myself. The cheapest thing I have to shoot is probably a 9mm, and everything just gets more expensive from there. Hell...the Enfield is like shooting dollar bills out the end of the barrel, haha. I came home with a box of 525 .22 for less than 20 bucks, you just can't beat that.

Cant go wrong with a ruger 1022.

 
Ty--That thing is awesome! Wish I had one. Kicking myself now, I had the chance to get one.

Scout rifle progress.

-Long eye relief scope.

-Barrel cut and re-crowned to 19" and re-blued.

-Rear sight removed and machined and tapped for scope rail.

-Monte Carlo style Synthetic stock.

Shoots 7.62x54R which is similar to 30-06. I think we're doing a AK style muzzle brake next. Probably shoots fireballs now.

You def do need a brake though, and a bent bolt.

PS.. Get at me. I have something for that bad boy you might be interested in. A two stage trigger spring. I ordered two when I bought mine. Just in case. But I think you need it more then I do.

I'll take it Nate. Send me a link to the details. This thing is getting more and more fun everyday. Thanks to Northeastern in Turner for the gunsmithing. They made taking the next steps easier.

30-06 is tough to find cheap, but its worth it for a M1 Garand. I'd love to have one for a day and about 200-300 rnds. No problem sacrificing my shoulder that day for 2 weeks of bruising.
