D9Firearms/DPMS Custom LR-308B Update

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

We received a shipment of D9Firearms semi custom LR-308B rifles last week.  As posted a couple weeks ago we were expecting the D9Firearms Custom DPMS LR-308B w/A3 upper/fluted/threaded/Miculek.  Due to a miscommunication (we’re not blaming anyone on this one, and don’t take us for adopting some liberal position, like it was our parents fault or something), we received in 6 LR-308B w/A3 upper/threaded/Miculek barrels.

Unfortunately we had 3 of the D9Firearms custom’s committed to customers who had pre-paid.  I emailed Steve at DPMS that night and before I had a chance to call him the next day he was calling me.  Steve said he would get us out a couple of new uppers to help us and our clients out.  (This is one of the reasons I like these guys.)

We also received a LR-243 w/fluted barrel, which is just a tack driving machine.  We were able to test one of these out in Texas a couple of months ago and was super pleased with the accuracy and handling.  We even put a Miculek on it and were astounded in how little recoil there was.

Additionally we received some DPMS LR-308AP4s w/ & w/o 4 rail, from one of our secondary wholesalers, who happened to call us on some ammo special they were running.  For a hard hitting configuration add an Ace SOCOM AP4 collapsible, 4 rail hand guard, IOR Valdada 3×25 CQB, tac latch, tac bolt release, a Miculek compensator, and some extra mags.

This setup is a very nice conversation piece to bring out when your wife invites over some peace loving, lets all “COEXIST”, bed wetting, cum by ya singing liberals who struggle to understand the meaning of the Second Amendment (let them COEXIST with some extremists).  It is also very powerful means of communication when confronted with a hell bound, car jacking crack head, or just to enjoy some time on the range with.  It is a very versatile utensil and every home should have at least one.

If you’re interested in customizing your DPMS LR contact us here at D9Firearms and we would be glad to enhance your communication skills.

We will be updating our pre-order status list in the next week.  DPMS is currently quoting a 4 month minimum lead time and as we stated before our goal is to take pre-orders with a down payment commitment so we can keep a continuous string of rifles on order.  This helps us and our future clients minimize lead times for everyone.

Thanks.

DPMS Stripped Lower Update:

100_25608.jpg

Another feature we tested at the show was on the AR-15 lower receivers where we offered an al-a-cart menu starting with the stripped lower and provided both standard parts and tactical parts.  We had also bagged all the non-substitutable parts like springs & detent pins.  This was a partial success in that we sold all of our lowers and only a couple of the spring kits and miscellaneous tactical parts.  We also offered complete lowers.  However, we have since re-ordered lowers (a lot more) and will tweak our offering to better suit you.

In addition to the AR-15 lower exclusive we purchased a variety of DPMS complete uppers to compliment our AR-15 lower options.  Currently we have the following uppers available:

24” SST w/A3 upper/YHM 4 rail/fluted

16” SST w/A3 upper/YHM 4 rail/fluted

16” AP4 w/removable carry handle/A2 post/standard hand guards

7.5” pistol upper w/A3 upper/YHM 4 rail/directional sound & flash compensator

We will be purchasing other uppers as they come available.  If you’re interested in stripped or customized lower we have them on hand.
