Del-Ton Rifle Kit

[NorCalRifleman]

I'm shopping around for my first AR and the kit from Del-Ton.com seems like a pretty good deal with reasonably priced options. Does anyone have any experience with their kits or with their customer service in general? I'm probably going to build it on a Stag or DPMS lower and, don't hate me, I'm active duty so I'll be getting it registered and don't have to worry about fixed mag, etc.

we have a group buy going (on a DPMS upper) on in antoher forum that ... if your not in a RUSH to get the upper... would be a great deal for you. It was a group buy that we had on here when there was a sale section.

I have one. It's as reliable as my Glock!

not to run on anybody parade, but there was group buy on DelTon on this board. If I am not mistaken initial orders came to over $40K.

It didn't work out all that well. A lot people had to cancel orders, it took forever....
Do search here - I am sure you'll find more info on that....

If you read Jeff's response, not all the problems were due to Del-ton. I've only heard of good customer service from Del-ton when ordering directly from them.

I have a Delton built upper from all CMMG parts. (Colt/Stag/CMMG = The same for the most part)

I have put about 2k through the thing and haven't seen a hiccup yet. I even have to admit to being a little tough on the upper and it still kicks without a hitch.

I got the Flattop with 16" Gov' profile barrel, chrome lined, normal bolt and carrier, with a two rail low profile gas block, YHM FlipUps and CAR hand guards. It's exactly as I had hoped, and even more reliable.

On the Customer service point---I was pleased all around. I called back AFTER my order to change the flashhider to a comp for the Monsterman and they had NO problem switching it around and getting it out the way I wanted it. Did I mention I called the day it was to be shipped.


If they can keep a demanding client like me happy they will do you well.

I just received an upper assy. from Del-Ton that I ordered via a special he had on AR15.com. They put a compensator on (I purchased from them with the lower) in place of the A2 flash hider and had it out the door in 48 hours with no extra labor charge.

I put a few rounds through it last weekend, and I am very satisfied.

I ordered two identical CAR kits from Del-Ton a little while ago. One went on my lower and another on my brother in-laws. Both kits arrived a little over a week after ordering, went together with ease and have been performing flawlessly since. I have 1000 rounds through mine without a hitch. My brother in-law has fired about 250 rounds through his, also without a problem. I will order through them again.

I got my upper assembly and some other stuff from Del-ton and was very pleased. I did order it right in the middle of the fury of the OLL situation, and they were out of the barrels I had asked for; but they called me to tell me that, and offered to subsititute a different barrel if I did not want to wait 2-3 weeks. I'm impatient so I went with that, and had my upper 5 days later (including a three day weekend in those 5 days). So from my experience they're a great company to deal with.

I ordered my LPK from delton as well as a upper and I have to say I am happy with the purchase they are definatly a great bang for the buck.

I bought my first upper fro Madel 1 Sales, it arrived a week later, and I'm happy with it.
I bought my second upper from Delton to save $30 and they kept 2-weeking me for almost 3 months and the 1913 gas block was all scratched up when it finally got here.

I purchased the 20" kit with an 'A1' upper (really C7 w/assist) and had to wait 4 weeks due to the OLL crunch. They told me within 24 hrs it was on backorder and I decided to wait. It was worth it. All I had to do was move the front sight a few clicks down and it was right on at 100yds. Very reliable. I only changed the front handguard cuz I wanted the triangle type. This kind of thread screams for pics, so here's my Delton:

Got my kit from delton less than a week everything fit perfect even the lower parts kit ...can't say the same for the dpms parts kit. Missing some parts and some parts where not to spec.
