I am getting ready to buy a .223 rifle. I have heard that dpms is a superior rifle to the bushmaster. never owning either one, my question is: does the dpms offer the quality to go with the higher price tag...thanx for all input....Walt

In last month's Gun Test they did a comparison of the DPMS, Armalite and Bushmaster in 308 and the DPMS won handsdown.

Bushmaster used to be considered top dog except that Colt got top dollar because of the name.
I'd go for a chromed barrel.0 -
Yes. The birdcage is just a pre-ban flash supressor. They are now using them again since the AWB sunsetted.

Don't forget to check out Rock River Arms, they are pretty competitave as far as price and quality. I've allways had Bushmasters, but recently picked up two RRA M-4's and am really happy with them...
