Anyways, my buddy has a Bushmaster AR and I have a DPMS. All I can tell you is that his has jammed at least once every time we’ve went shooting and mine has never jammed. He bought his new, I bought mine used from god knows how many people. I absolutely LOVE my DPMS. Is the one you are looking at pre-ban? I have serial numbers here if you need to double check. Also you NEED to make sure it’s chambered for 5.56 as well as .223. I know most of them are, just look on the barrell it should say 5.56. If it says .223 don’t buy it. You want one that’s chambered for 5.56 because even though it’s almost identical it’s a little bigger. you can shoot .223 in a 5.56 but not 5.56 in a .223. If you need anythign else let me know. DJ knows his shit on here too. I know for sure it’s a .223. I didn’t look at the barrel. I know the guy who owns T&V, and he said he could give me a little bit of a hookup on that and some ammo. DJ, if I buy it, I’m gonna need you to show me a ton of stuff ASAP lol. When we went shooting that one time was about the only experience I have with them --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gun-questions/241820)._
