  • I bet they didn't waste all that .223 with the ammunition shortages going on.

  • The original video was made well over a year ago. Campy card playing and night to day editing aside, they most definitely shot all 10,000 rounds through the rifle.

  • Run 89,000 rounds through it- that's eight nine thousand rounds, just like the Yuglavians did to a stamped sheet metal AK to see when it would fail.

  • That's kind of an apples to radial tires comparison.

  • Neat test. Was the rifle cleaned at all during the test? Or was it strictly limited to occasional lubing? Were any failures/broken parts experienced during the test? Loose gas key, broken extractors, etc. Was this particular firearm purchased by the testers (pulled at random off the assembly line), or provided directly by dpms?

    thanks in advance!

  • Not cleaned, just sprayed with additional lube. No broken parts, but there were a couple of easily cleared jams. It was a standard DPMS Mark12 supplied by DPMS to the show.

  • NEVER had a problem with mine, not with anything!!

  • @mbsells77 - and yes, the Yugoslavian test involved lubing the AK at regular intervals too.

  • I think its shit I bought one 1800.00 and just breaking in the barrel had 12 out of 80 rds fail to eject. I would never recommend this gun to anyone sent the upper back after 3 weeks have no idea where the hell it is or if its even fixed NEVER BUY A DAMN DPMS....

  • BRAVO COMPANY

  • Should have used beta mags.

  • Glad I bought this gun =D

  • @ 3:46 thats what i said when I Banged yo girl

  • @KurNorock Uh...what? That makes no sense.

  • "Normally you wouldn't shoot ten thousand rounds in two generations"...not with a hunting rifle but with a pistol or a rifle like an AR then 10k rounds is nothing. :-\

  • go lefties
