    Much as I like to joke about how DPMS is short for "Doesn't Pass Mil Spec", or "Don't Purchase My Shit", a lot of the Wellington Service Rifle guys have DPMS guns, and the vast majority of them seem to run pretty well, and run accurately. I haven't seen any major failures on the line, or any DPMS gun giving any more problems than any other brand.

    Seems to be a bit of a lottery though.

    I have been using and assembling AR rifles and more specifically parts for 13 years now (Is that unlucky?) As yet I have had no issues with DPMS. In fact I used DPMS barrels exclusively because they shot so well. Sometimes DPMS parts are not as pretty as others but I have never had a bolt fail and I have seen a few bolts fail especially recently.
