AR-15 16" DEL-TON MID-LENGTH UPPER ASSEMBLY
I never had any malfunctions with my Delton Sierra 316, it has a semi auto BCG,1X9 twist with a H barrel. People talk a lot of crap about Deltons quality being outsourced by other unknown parties (hence the price). Mine works flawless so far.
I just bought this as a rifle kit, should be here in a few days and I cant wait to throw it on a lower a shoot it. I've heard great things about this entry level AR. Mid length was a must for me and at $450 it was a no brainer. Cool stuff.
How is the handling of the heavy barrel? The lightweight (pencil) profile from DEL-TON is roughly 1.99lbs. The HBAR is about 2.6lbs. That's some major ounces but did the weight effect balance or ergonomics much?
This upper fires .223 and 5.56 right?
Del-ton keep up the good work making great Bang!
for your Bucks!!!!
I think he's talking about how your barrel doesn't have the usual M4-profile.
you have the heavy barrel vs the govt contour .yours will stay more accurate when hot , my question is , is it 1in9 or 1in7 , and is it chrome . and how do you like it as of now. i just ordered a similar set up . for the $ , cant beat it .
he has the heavy barrel , it comes in heavy or govt contour. this hasnt got the taper and it a consistant thckness, not sure if its 1in9 , or 1 in7, chrome etc or not, but they sell this set up for $429-$499 on midway usa. im on back order, really nice components. well worth the buck , for $499 i get the trigger kit , pistol grip and stock , and upper with the heavy and 1 in 7 chrome in a mid length with front sight . on a flat top. not to shabby.
I would need a contrast to see what your talking about. I'm assuming your talking about the length or the size?
Thank You
I believe it was about $10-15. I used coupon codes I found for them though, so it was free. Midway has lots of offers like that around, it definitely tips the balance towards them as far as online shopping goes.
Question: I was just curious how much MidwayUSA charged you for shipping?
thankz for the great info on the unboxing vid i just bought 1 from midway, cant wait to get it.
I have a Del-ton you cant beat the quality for the price point.
I did notice quite a bit more weight with the heavy barrel, I would say its a good 6-8 ounces heavier than a government profile (guesstimate). That extra weight also made the rifle want to keep swinging when you swung to put it on target.
Do you notice a big weight difference of the heavy barrel versus the government profile barrel profile of the 16" barrel? I used to have a Bushmaster with a 20" heavy barrel and I hated carrying it compared to my BCM 20" government profile upper.
