My new project:

What upper are you going to run?

 

[Bonez87]

What upper are you going to run?

Im gonna save up for a noveske upper, not sure exactly which one yet though. With the price of them I have awhile to decide while i save my pennies.

 

[MrYesterday]

This is what I have so far. I have a mount, and streamlight that'll be here tomorrow, possibly some magpul rail covers, and I'm still looking for a good deal on a small red dot. Then I'll be pretty much done.

The magpul rail covers will be a nice improvement in feel and weight over the UTG's.

A good value on small red dots is the Primary Arms clone of the Aimpoint micro.

How do you like the grip on the Mag well. Is it something you use in regular usage or more of a tactical use piece. I have seen them but never used one. Just curious.

I love it, honestly. To me it provides a much more natural grip than the rail mounted ones. It places your hand at weapon center, which always seemed like a better place from a maneuverability standpoint. But, I learned to hold my M-4 at the mag well in AIT, and it's always just felt right. I wouldn't even have the grip pod, but it's more aesthetically pleasing, less complicated, and provides a sturdier base than any of the sub $100 bipods that I've seen. Plus the "push button deploy" is pretty badass IMHO lol

On a side note, be prepared to dremel out a bit on the inside of the mag well funnel of the grip. It was so tight that it would retain the magazine. But 5 minutes later, and it drops free it should.

There are few if any "Bolt on" parts unless made by the firearm manf. and even then I have had to add some love with a file Etc.

Thanks. I will look into this, I like it.

Got my new flashlight mount and light in the mail. I LOVE this thing. It's only 130 lumens, but it's plenty bright IMHO. Plus it's poly, and built like a tank. Not a bad light setup for $50.

The Delton:

Does the Del-Ton have the rifle length gas system? If so, how reliable is it?

The Del-Ton does have the rifle length gas system and a heavy barrel profile. I've only got 750 rounds through mine so far, but I haven't had a single problem so far. I've shot everything from 55gr federal american eagle tactical, to 55gr up to 69gr handloads. I've read online that some people dislike the rifle length gas system, but I honestly haven't had any hint of a problem with mine. This rifle has been 100% so far. I trust it enough to keep it near the bed to protect my family in the middle of the night if need be. Part of why I set this rifle up with the light and illuminated front sight post was for a gun to grab in the middle of the night and the rifle's reliability has matched what I'd expect out of a gun for that role.

Everyone likes their own rifles and thinks their rifles are the best ones ever made, but I will say that all the ego and pride of the build aside, there's no way this gun would be the family watch dog if it wasn't reliable. Buy it with confidence if you're considering one.

+1 I've seen a lot of people smack talk Del-Ton, and most of it is from "I've got a buddy who", or "You get what you pay for". It's ridiculous. I've had Del-Tons that I've ran close to 100k rounds through without ever having a single issue. Best "bang for your buck" as far as I'm concerned. Mine is a bedside rifle as well. Newest build has had 5k rounds of nothing but steel cased wolf without a hitch.

I've never read much bad about Del-Ton from actual owners. I'd put the one I just assembled up against the last two bushmasters I owned with confidence. Its just too bad that there are so many guys on the internet who've never owned a Del-Ton, but know so much more about their reliability than the guys who go out and dump a bunch of rounds through them. I really like my rifle and I don't think I could be happier with it.

Thank you, I was more concerned with the gas pulse not being enough to function everything properly. I appreciate it.
