chamberd for the 5.56. any thoughts on this.
Has anyone owened or owens a DPMS from panther arms?
I would not recommend that one based on it having an extruded aluminum upper receiver rather than a forged receiver and the FACT that a much better AR can be had for about the same money.

I bought one of those from a friend hard up for some cash one day. I paid him $400 and gave it my wife. She didn't even like it, said it felt cheap. But she is used to shooting her M1A and my AR's. I didn't care for it all either.

Have a look at PSA (Palmetto State Armory) kits or a Smith & Wesson Sport, MUCH more gun for the money over the Sporticle.

All the PSA kits are out of stock, but I hear the wait is about 3 weeks.

The S&W website showing the Sport. Suggested retail shown is $739 but wait, see the last link below.
