![]() He said that DPMS has always been a parts company, and will continue to follow that trend. Like I said, I would have never expected this from DPMS.As I spoke at length with Adam Ballard, the Product Manager for MSR's, I asked him what their posture is for guys like me who are going to want to have access to the receiver set and BCG, since I will be sourcing my own barrel and go about a custom build process. The GII is a different animal I think, and is lighter than the SCAR-17.It feels like an AR15 in weight and balance. I spent significant time looking over each of the GII rifles and carbines, and I have to say DPMS knocked this one out of the park.Just so everyone knows, I'm not exactly DPMS's fanboy, and I have come to view them as barely shelf-grade minimum plinker capable guns that cut a ton of corners to make price point and visual similarity to real AR15's. I have to be honest, this is the main development from SHOT that is sticking out in my mind. The new double ejector and extractor designs are a major reliability upgrade for any serious rifle user. Even though the Carrier size is different it'll still be great if we can use the GEN II bolt in the GEN I carriers. Also with the Gen IIs hitting the market I'm sure there's going to be some Great Deals on the Remaining Gen I on the shelves for the taking.I think the new Gen IIs BOLT Design appeals to me more.
