Anybody wanna buy some Iraqi ARs?

Used rifles possibly from a warzone? For this price maybe...

[phylodog]

Kinda hard to go wrong at that price

 

[sig1473]

DPMS? No thanks.

 

[Excalibur]

If I don't have an AR right now...I might consider this and just replace some parts.

I'll second this^

Thats kind of like a two for one special. Christmas for the boys has been solved!

Not a bad idea... Complete teardown, clean, replace worn parts, oil, and SHOOT.

Say you spend ~$200 on a new barrel along with ~$100 for a BCG you are throwing another $300 into a worn DPMS. To each his own though. YMMV

 

[lucky4034]

No way... not when I can get a brand new M & Sport or PSA for $550

I think it's cool for the history (if that is where there from). I'd get my son one.

$480 shipped and transferred is hard to beat. Who said they are worn out? I bet most of them are just dirty.

Agreed. I've know several guys that did US contractor work in the sandbox. Equipment is considered pretty disposable, and I doubt they've seen a ton of use. I would about gaurentee they will be filthy though. The article said the ejection port door, front sight, and / or rear sling mount might be missing. Pretty easy and cheap fix even if worse case scenario and they need replaced.

Yeah, but not even the Iraqis use PSA





Agreed with those who say it would be cool to have because of the history/story. Even if it doesn't have a happy switch

You love PSA

 

[Sheepdog Gear]

Only because shipping times are too long....

And that's the difference between an AR and AK owner.

Teardown? Clean? Oil? No, comrade. Just pull the bolt back, shake hard a few times, and get back in the fight.

DynCorp used Bushmasters and Colts. The Bushmasters were XM-15s that still had full auto, so I'm sure they weren't transferable. They told us the Colts were leased from the military, and they were the 3 round burst version, so also not transferable even if they weren't.

If you want one for the rifle, go ahead, but I wouldn't give them any extra "back story" value.

 

[jd4320t]

Anybody buy one yet?

I don't have any personal experience and I wasn't ever over there but there are multiple stories on other forums from guys claiming they were issued DPMS AR's.

 

[indyk]

I wouldnt buy any of those legos, now if they were to bring in some SVD'S.
I would certainty bite, and bite hard.

 

[billt]

DPMS? No thanks.

I agree. They're not combat proven.

 

[flatlander]

In years of being there, I NEVER saw a DPMS. Maybe they were well hidden.......even the Ugandans didn't have them
