Hey help me out here anyone have feedback on Del-Ton, good bad and ugly let me know.
read a few posts about there heavy 1:9’s but not to much else.
thanks in advance guys.
they use heavy profile barrels. I never had a problem with my delton middy
+1 I have a heavy mid-length delton barrel and it shoots great.
I have been running a Del-Ton 16" Lightweight for about 6 years. Other than the slightly canted FSB (about 6 clicks of center on the rear sight) I have never had an issue.
I’ve built a couple of carbines out of Delton kits. Never had any problems. I’ve used their BCG with good success too. Not in the class of BCM, but good for a range rifle.
thanks for the feedback, do you guys have their lowers, are they all milspec?
I have one of their lowers, don’t know about the mil-spec but I’ve shot over 400 rounds with it and have had no problems.
this is a normal thing on ARs. Even my BCM uppers have off center rear appertures but are zeroed
6 clicks to zero is not unusual at all. I had a Delton middy that was great for me. I still have a DTI lower and it works fine. DTI rifle kits are a good one stop shop to put together a nice budget setup. I do think with Spikes or DSA coming out with new releases you can piece together a low price rifle with better features than Delton. David
I held a Delton for the first time yesterday, it felt kind of wimpy and cheesy. The dealer says it is all Mil-spec but I have my doubts. Also this dealer is an asshat and I promised myself I would never buy from him again. I just window shop there.
I would wave off. They’ve had a less than good rep among serious users.
I typed in “Delton” into the search and these threads popped up.

And that’s just a few.
Ask your dealer what the word milspec means and how he came to that conclusion?
No, that would mean him talkin some dumb shit and me getting mad.
When I went in there yesterday isaw that he had about 7 AR’s. I said, whatcha got there for AR’s. He said, all the good stuff. I said like what.
He said RRA, Bushmaster, Delton.
I then looked at my G/F and smurked.
I asked to hold the Delton but quickly put it down. I wanted to take it apart but my G/F was less than enthused.
I do like my BM but know it ain’t the best.
For what it’s worth, the only real recent experience I have with DelTon products is from SHOT. I asked about their chrome lining, and the girl at the booth said “they’re all chrome lined. see how shiny the insides are”
She saw “Italy” on my badge and also said “you guys make pretty good pizza, do you have a Domino’s close by?”
At least she was good looking, I don’t think mensa will be missing her at the next member’s meeting.
In DelTon’s defense, they have shipped KAC gear to my office in CA for me. Knight’s won’t. (not that I blame them)
Holy shit! Hahahahahahahahahaha.
I like DTI’s lightweight contour which is actually medium under the HG. Good concept, not too dissimilar to Noveske in that particular respect. Had one just for fun, sold it some time ago. IIRC as new it had only 1:300 FTF with dirty ammo; I didn’t shoot it for accuracy. All that said, I see no reason to buy that when BCM’s are available.
What’s going on with all these Del-Ton threads as of late? Arfcom is full? 
Inter-Milan?
I don’t know nothin about Arfcom, I saw one at a shop yesterday.
If you want a rifle that will be used exclusively for impressing your tard brother in law or shooting wal mart ammo into dirt at 15 yards, del-ton is just what you are looking for.
