Again, I said if you want a decent low price AR then Del Ton is fine. They are not however Mil-Spec. I just looked through the specs on all their rifles and not a single one mentioned a chrome lined bore. I have read that they are melonite treated as are the S&W barrels which is fine, maybe even better than chrome lined. I have also read reviews by professionals that say they use commercial diameter receiver extensions that are made from extruded aluminum and not forged as per Mil-spec. I also know for a fact that they use Tapco furniture on some of their models. Again, I am not putting down Del Ton and never have through this entire thread. I simply gave the OP an opinion that I personally would go with PSA over Del Ton. I even stated that it was my opinion. I never asked anyone to take it as gospel.
