Hi All! Just an update on my previous post (worth the wait?) from a couple of months ago. I ordered a DPMS LR308 classic back in mid April 2011 and was told to expect my rifle in "8 weeks". Well, After 8 and a half months of waiting amid bullshit excuses, My FFL dealer called me yesterday and said my rifle had finally arrived.COOL thought I,but when I showed up to pick up my long anticipated weapon,I was presented with a totally incorrect rifle! Wrong barrel, wrong upper, and if that wasn't enough, The 6 position butstock was broken! I don't know what will happen next, but I would like to warn anybody considering doing business with these A-holes to consider another brand of manufacture. Just my 2 cents. Anyway, Happy new year to all you AR- 10 owners, I hope to join you one day as an AR-10 owner,but DPMS will probably not allow that to happen anytime soon. Bye!
That's rough brother. I hate hearing stories like this. Don't people understand, you don't mess with a mans rifle anymore?
Sending you the wrong rifle is a pretty shitty way to treat a customer. If it were me, the words 'epic' and 'shitstorm' would be about right. Definitely taking pics and making calls, and with 8 and 1/2 months to get it right and still screwing it up, there would not be any grace period to get things straightened out.
The bright side? There is an Armalite out there with your name on it.
So after an 8 1/2 month wait, to add insult to injury, they sent you the wrong rifle. I hope you sent it back with a nice little note telling them exactly where they could stick it.
The price of the LR-308 is within striking distance of an AR-10 (about $50.00). Get an A4BF from Impact and be done with it.
