    A few years ago I shot over 2000 rounds through mine in a short few months before I had to sell it due to life events. 200+ rounds of that was steel case and I never once had a jam or malfunction. I’m buying another one.

    Fired about 3,000 rounds through mine, 1000ish steel case. Minimal cleaning never had it jam once, it may be budget but still a quality product.

    some 316L variants come with mid length gas system apparently, but hey I think it would be cool to do a "best budget rifle" list comparing all the $399 rifles it would be awesome. Honestly I think more people buy these than higher end rifles. between Radical, PSA, Delton, Andro Corp, Anderson and whoever else it's real close and would make a good video.

    When I was in school , I had a teacher that had mad a batch of ARs as a machinist . They were perfectly made, so perfect in fact that they seized after a few rounds from fouling.

    Picked up a Sierra 316L for black pre black Friday 399 at the local Sportsman's and going to compare it to my AR556 at more than twice the price at the gun range tomorrow (black Friday 2023). Slapping on a cheap Romeo and Juliet RDO/magnifier combo that was on sale as well and we'll see how she flys. Should hit the broadside of a barn. Cheap Frontier 223 55gr as well at .45/round. Gonna blow a few hundred. Cheap thrills. I also got a new iPhone SE 3 for 49 bucks and love it. Think paying 800 to 1500 for a phone is nuts. Del-Ton website says 1X7 twist, Sportsman's sez 1x9 and has been know to be wrong on occasion. Will call Del-Ton with the serial number.

    Im not really into ARs but every body should have one in the gun cabinet cause in these times you never know ....
    And worse case if you have to bury it in cosmoline in a cannister in a field somplace its cheap

    Great AR. I've had mine for just over a year. I love it. I've upgraded the trigger and added a few things. I've easily put over 700 rounds through it and never had an issue. Lol. I take that back. I bought a couple inexpensive polymer magazines and for some reason it won't feed correctly . But it's just with the 2 magazine... weird?
