Ain’t it pretty:
That’s the DPMS 16” AP4 Carbine (scroll down). This weapon is chambered 7.62X51 Nato (or .308 Winchester for you non-metric types). It specs out like most DPMS 308 rifles. I like it. A lot. Did I mention it was a .308?

You just HAVE to take that thing deer hunting. Then, the next time some fool says, “assault weapons are useless for hunting!” you can show them a picture of you, the deer, and the assault weapon.

Needs a full stock and a scope. That’s a rebels weapon, by the way, a full-bore SHTF gun.
I shot a Tubb gun in .308 at Camp Perry last week during the Long Range Championship. Even with iron sights I stayed inside the nine ring. With a scope…..big medicine. .308 will get it done.

I highly recommend DPMS. I picked up one of their .308 Panthers a few months back, and it’s been rock solid.
It looks like the one at the top of that page, except with a fluted barrel and real mags instead of those plastic thingies.

I’ve used their AR Parts and their 7.62X39 AR mags. Quality stuff.

Contrary to popular belief, .308 WR and 7.62×51 NATO aren’t the same round:
What’s the Difference between .308 Winchester & 7.62x51mm NATO?
With most new rifles you’re fine switching, but there’s some older 7.62×51 NATO rifles where .308 WR creates a risk of catastrophic failure.

Hey stromy,
thanks for the link and comments.
I have been looking for the difference. I knew there was one and wanted to find out from a buyers perspective what to do about it.

Stormy, they’re practically the same (and are quite often used interchangeably). However, there are some differences.

Now that’s a purty rifle.
