Need some thoughts here.....ran into a DPMS AR at the gun show today that a guy SWEARS was used in Iraq by a security company contracted over there. It sure looks the part....worn metal and all. Has an 'import tag' on it. I just cant believe it. Price is right...anyone heard of these?

Oh, and its semi auto only too......just cant see it...???
Buy the rifle not the story.
That's the story the importer is giving on this new batch of DPMS ARs on the surplus market. My surplus dealer had them here in PA a few weeks ago for $475 each. Who knows if it's true, but that's a good deal for an AR.
Exactly Bill...WarPig, you're hearing this too, huh?
I'm with Bill. Besides, it's not that hard to take a mess of these, make them worn veterans and make up a big story. Then distribute widely with that story. Enter you two...widely separated...and eager. I wouldn't unless the dollar is so small and you're just buying a shooter...
Public Service Announcement: CIA trade in DPMS AR-15 Carbines $499 USD!!!!
These may be the same ones.
Sorry boys, I'm on that site too and have very little belief in the manure that passes for gospel there. It may be true, but other than someone's word that's WAY out of sight, we have NO proof. Just a sales pitch. And this story's going to get deeper, you watch.
Its a beater. No way in hell Id buy it. I just wondered if anyone else had heard this yarn.
I didn't buy either, I had just bought my police trade in Colt which was the batch proceeding. Yes, seems this is the latest sales pitch on the East coast anyways...
Like I said.......I think I've heard it all now..
The DPMS Panther Arms can be had at our local Fed Meyer for $599.97. That price CIA is selling them for is not that great for a beater. BTW, now Out of Stock
Just beat up guns with no real provenance. Someone's story...
Agreed, used AR by contractors, not worth it, even if it was true. If true, Chances are the weapon has been dunked and soaked in JP to clean and possibly followed up by scrubbing with break free....thats how we cleaned ours.
