[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1768364, member: 229"] Yeah, it's not a special version, just a DPMS Sportical. Nothing wrong with them, just know what you're getting. 5.56 chamber (no M4 feed-ramps). 1:9 6-groove button-rifled twist (non chrome-lined) light-weight barrel made from 4140 chrome-moly steel. Skinny barrel (OD of 0.642") No dust-cover or forward-assist (I'm not a fan of any upper lacking this, but 99% of folks shooting an AR now days don't have any use for one). Semi-Auto Bolt with none of the extra goodies (haven't seen any DPMS gas-keys lately, but they used to do a crappy job of staking them). Special Glacier-Guard handguards, special gas-block with rail (I've had problems with that same gas-block coming loose - it's not a great design), Special Pardus stock (whatever that is). For the price, I'd get a Del Ton or DSA personally, or step it way up and get a Palmetto State Armory rifle-kit (and one of PSA's lowers) with quite a few more upgrades. [/QUOTE]
