    Default DPMS AR-15

    I bought a New DPMS Ar-15 last November. 1 week latter I blew out my right knee. January I had a complete right knee replacement. I finally got to the range yesterday. left all the tools home. So I had nothing to adj the front sight with. Darn. How ever it shoots real nice groups 1.5 inches low . So next week I will have tools to adjust the sight! So what kind of shooting can I expect from a DPMS AR-15

    Grizz
    I always stressed to my son"one shot one kill that was all that is needed". When He came home from Marine Corp Boot camp He was telling me about the Marines stressing "ONE SHOT ONE KILL" He looks at me and the light bulb went on Dad was now a whole lot smarter than he was 13 weeks ago.

    ALL of the AR's I have either bought or built can shoot better than I can hold. If you're good enough with iron sights you can hit a man size target at 500 yds. (that's why you have those elevation adjustments on the rear sight).

    You can use a .223 round to adjust the front sight, just use the tip of the bullet to push down the pin and spin the sight post. Just so you know for next time.
