Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do. |
Have one to get set up but have no manual. Lower says: CAL. MULTI Mod. A-15 So does the CAL. MULTI going to mean NATO 5.56/223?I manually inserted a 223 rd to confirm it wasn't something different. And do you happen to know the twist rate? 16" barrel. When I try to locate a contact for DPMS it points me to Minnesota. Frame states D.P.M.S Huntsville, AL. USA Maybe the brand has been sold? Rifle was bought new about 6 years ago. Never been fired. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | ||

My pre-ban A2 clone is a DPMS. The manual with the sale was the genuine DOD manual, nothing from the manufacturer. It's a 1/7 twist, faint markings on the barrel. I think they have changed hands two or three times over the past 10 years or so; formerly in MN but purchased by the group that owned Bushmaster and Remington. Multi: mine is marked .223/5.56 but if not mistaken many companies mark them as multi given the popularity of swapping upper receivers. ETA; viewing the SOTAR videos that Para posted reminded me of something important. Look real good at the gas key. Mine was not staked or pinned when purchased. I trust between 1994 and 2018 DPMS discovered this shortfall of theirs but ....This message has been edited. Last edited by: rat2306, | |||

Check for markings on the barrel for caliber and twist rate. | |||

Nearly all lowers are "multi" cal, that's the way lowers are entered in 4473s. You could use that lower on a multitude of calibers. As M499 stated, check the barrel for markings. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

I knew it was for multi caliber lower, just had a bit of brain freeze. Found the 5.56 NATO 1/9 marking on the barrel. Don't know how I didn't see it earlier. I have my head back in sunshine now. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | |||
