Seriously, WTF is wrong with DPMS and their absolute lack of quality controls? Do they intentionally ship crap just to fill orders.
I've had DPMS parts that simply didn't fit unless they were ground down on a grinder. So I stopped using them and learned my lessons.
A buddy of mine said he had to beat into place a bolt release because it didn't fit and now it doesn't freely move like its supposed to (well doh! he obviously needed to grind or smooth something down instead of beating it into place). Triggers feel like grit over sandpaper too. Even the color of the anodizing is uneven on a lot of the ones I've handled.
Seriously, for $150 you can walk into a gun shop and get a Hi-Point pistol. For about $200 you can get a carbine. The guns work. They are ugly as your sister-in-law but the darn things make bullets fly out of the barrel when you pull the trigger.
I've sworn off the crap from DPMS but the stories of crummy quality keep popping up.
So seriously what is worse? DPMS or Hi-Point
