A great and accurate rifle. Was taking a chance on Del-Ton as I had never heard of them. Only issue I have with it, is the magazine it was shipped with, which this seems to be a running theme with me and magazine fed guns, the magazine will only go into the magazine well with only 13 rounds loaded, both in 5.56 and .223. I've noticed that unless it's Gen 4 magazines, this rifle and the S&W M&P 15 don't like any earlier generation of magazines with more than 13 rounds loaded in them. Gen 4 mags they will accept the full 30 no issues. Idk why that is. Does anyone know why that is? If a gun company is gonna ship a gun with a magazine, it should make sure that the gun will accept that magazine fully loaded. Just saying.

Definitely more of a simple AR. Shoots nice and comfortable though. The front sight basically is fixed which gets in the way of a scope or optic. However being so close it’s hardly noticeable in the lens. No lower rail. That’s a bummer. Good gun though. If I needed another I wouldn’t be afraid to buy this one again

Initial impressions after Inspection and First Range Trip: GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE ($445 when I bought it)
This seems to be a very good rifle for the money. After the first 100 rounds of Federal XM193, there were no malfunctions. Given the price point, I was very impressed with the accuracy of the rifle. At 25 yards my groups with iron sights were clover leafed and roughly 0.5 inches. I put a 3-9 power scope on it just to test accuracy at 100 yards and it grouped at 2.5 inches or less. Some of that was human error as I was shooting from a bench with inadequate butt stock support so I could see some slight movement in my scope at 9x. I would not be surprised if others reported even tighter groups.
As mentioned, I only have 100 rounds of XM193 through it, so reliability is still TBD, but so far so good. For what its worth, I did have another Del Ton M16A2 doppelganger style AR I built from a kit (all DT parts) several years ago that I fired about 1500 rounds through without a single malfunction using all sorts of brass cased ammo (I don't use steel in ARs) including surplus M196 tracers with water damaged packaging that locked up my buddy's Windham AR tighter than a drum. The Del Ton just kept chugging until I sold it for something more optics friendly. Some higher priced rifles might offer more in the way of quality assurance that you won't have breakages with heavy use or when you fire a lot of rounds in a short period of time, getting the rifle really hot. Based on my experience with a previous DT rifle, and my short time with this one, I think you can count on the Sport Mod2 to at least burn through a couple mags fast without issue.
What separates this rifle from the other AR competitors in the $400-600 range is the weight. Thanks to the pencil barrel and lightweight hand guard, this rifle points very quickly and feels noticeably lighter compared to other AR-15s I have shot or an M4 with a quad rail. As noted above, I don't think it gives up a lot in accuracy for not having a heavier barrel or a free floating rail, especially for the price. It is listed at 5.8 lbs but mine was 6lbs 1oz unloaded on my scale (6lbs 5oz with the included C-Products Magazine and no ammunition, 7lbs 2oz with a fully loaded 30 round P-MAG). This is higher than I had hoped, but still very light. Most ARs in this price category are advertised at 6.5lbs or higher and likely weigh more than that in reality. The .5 lbs doesn't sound like much until you try holding your unsupported shooting position for more than 20 seconds and you realize all that weight is cut off the front of the rifle. This makes the Sport Mod2 an ideal choice for smaller shooters or someone who may end up carrying the rifle for an extended period of time.
The trigger felt very MIL-SPEC to me and felt just like a standard issue M4. That is to say gritty, somewhat heavy, a little long, but definitely manageable. If you're looking for your first AR and you don't have experience with a nice trigger, you'll never know what you're missing. I shot it next to a S&W M&P10 (.308) which, by comparison had a much smoother and slightly lighter trigger with comparable travel. I don't know if the M&P15 Sport II has the same trigger, but I just wanted to throw that out there.
I did appreciate the inclusion of a folding rear sight. A lot of budget ARs don't include this and it ends up being a $40-60 hidden expense and it folds out of the way of most optics you might want to add later. At first glance, I was not a fan of the FAB Defense MAKO Rear sight because it is not as trim or attractive as a Magpul MBUS. It also does not spring up like the MBUS and you have to push it up or down. However, as I started using it, it really grew on me and I now think, practically speaking, it is better. The sight snaps solidly into the deployed or stowed position. The windage adjustment has a locking feature where you have to push on the left side against spring spring tension to unlock it while simultaneously rotating the right side adjustment wheel. At first I had to fight it, but practice moving it before you hit the range and you'll have no issues. Plus, you can be confident incidental contact with your adjustment wheel won't result in a loss of zero. It also has a 2 aperture set up on a pivot, much like the old M16A2 sights, and is way easier to flip back and forth compared to an MBUS. The small aperture has slightly more air, which I like, and gave me those .5" 25 yard clover leaf groups. I did not use the large aperture but it seemed on par with an MBUS large aperture and might be handy for really fast or close targets.
The following features are pretty standard and functioned with boring reliability: A2 birdcage flash suppressor timed correctly, F-marked standard front sight base with useless but cool bayonet lug and practical sling swivel that takes light pressure to move so it doesn't rattle. Hand guards with heat shields fit together under the Delta ring VERY tight. Unlike a Smith and Wesson M&P15 Sport II, this does have heat shields in the hand guards. I didn't blast away fast enough to get the barrel really hot, but the barrel did get hot enough you couldn't hold onto it with a bare hand and I never felt heat coming through the hand guard. M4 feed ramps on barrel extension and upper receiver are smooth. Overall fit and finish of the interior of the action is very good including well staked gas key, gas rings looked great, no machine or tool marks on any components, phosphate coating is applied evenly and holding up so far with standard wear in expected locations on the BCG. Interior of the BCG is chrome lined. The Buffer spring shrieks when it moves, I might give it a light coat of lithium grease to quiet it down. Castle nut is staked. The upper and lower receiver look great inside and out.
If you are tall like me (6'6"), you will appreciate the standard M4 adjustable stock which will fit everyone from a yeti to a midget. However, the short carbine length gas system and hand guard will definitely make you feel scrunched when shooting unsupported. I don't think this is an issue for normal/short people. A vertical grip might help but that would require an aftermarket hand guard and you are starting to ruin the budget value equation when you start changing stuff out on this rifle. It might be better just to look for something with longer free floated rail or a mid length gas system. Or you could just suck it up.
Overall, I think this is an excellent choice for someone who wants a lightweight rifle, is on a budget, or may be new to ARs without sacrificing much in the way of reliability or accuracy.

Very happy with this rifle. I've put quite a few rounds through it of different manufacturers and haven't had one issue. Not one problem with Tulammo either. As always, Buds is great.

This AR is fantastic. It's the first AR I ever fired. It's very accurate with iron sights even at 75ft. It came with the iron sights and 1 mag. All you need is some rounds and you're ready to go. I would recommend cleaning it before your first trip to the range. I found that the barrel was slightly dirty and had some particles inside. Also give it a nice oiling; my bolt carrier was bone dry. I'm sure this was due to storage/shipping. I put 100 rounds through it right away; no issues at all.
I'm so happy with this purchase. Great entry level AR for anyone.
