This ar is great I love it !!! Thanks Buds !

Got this after getting rid of S&W M&P Sport that didn’t have dust over or forward assist. The Delton seems to be just as good as the S&W was but has dust cover and forward assist. Zero problems and great price. Buds guns is great. Easy ordering, speedy delivery. Never a problem yet

This gun gets a lot of attention on the range, people wanting to know the brand. They are blown away when I tell them how much it cost thru Buds.
Outstanding value.

So the gun feels great, quality is good, no scratches or machine marks, seems like a great buy for the money. Stock is meh but great rifle for the price, I havent gotten to shoot it yet because of the rona ammo shortages I'm not shooting currently so I'll update it if it malfunctions or something but this seems like a well built ar for the price, sights are nice barrels nice actions smooth.

I bought this about a year ago for around $450 I think, and am extremely happy with it. Definitely one of the best AR-15s you can get for the money. So far, I’ve fired somewhere between 1200-1500 rounds, and I haven’t had a single malfunction. Shoots accurately, though I haven’t shot it past 50 yards. Buds was excellent service-wise. I purchased online on a Wednesday afternoon, and the gun arrived at my FFL, in less than 48 hours, that Friday around noon. I was very pleasantly surprised with how fast it arrived. It came with no issues, no scratches or function problems, etc. Will definitely be buying my next firearm from Buds. If you are looking for an AR15 under $750, BUY THIS RIFLE. This model, the 316M, is the best in my opinion out of the DTI Echo line-up, as it comes with a 1-8 twist, (which is great for almost all bullet weights), comes with a great rear flip up iron sight, and has the heavier barrel profile. All the internals, (bolt carrier group, trigger, M4 feed ramps, etc), as well as the upper and lower receiver materials used in production, are the exact same parts and built to the same specs that you will see in other rifles for up to $1000 and even higher. Great rifle, INSANE price, and great service from Buds. Thanks!

WOW! Great little piece. Thanks Bud's. Not one issue. Happy with my purchase.

very nice AR15 223-556 thank you

I purchased the Del Ton echo 316m from buds, Haven't had it at the range yet, but seems like a nice gun for the money. Buying from Buds was very easy from purchasing to shipping to my FFL. I will definitely be buying from Buds again.

This was my first purchase from Buds. This weapon was exactly what I wanted. Weapon was ordered and delivered to my selected FFA dealer within 4 days. The weapon was ready to fire out of the box after cleaning and applying some CLP. Very happy with the price and quality of this weapon. I will purchase from Buds again. Two thumbs up on this purchase.

Love this new rifle. Shipping was fast and it arrived in perfect condition. I haven't taken it to the range yet but I'm sure that I won't be disappointed based on all of the other reviews I've read. I like that it has a lifetime warranty and should I have any issues it's only a 45 minute drive to the manufacturer from where I live.

Although I am new to the AR-15 world, I am pretty impressed with the quality and build of this rifle. I also showed this rifle too a few people who know more about the AR-15, and they were impressed too. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Buds Gun Shop was quick onthe delivery and made the online buying experience very easy. I will follow up later once i get a chance to shoot it.

this Del-Ton 316M had no issues at the range, fired several hundred rounds. Accurate with the Acog im using. I am using only brass ammo in this rifle. I do not like the results of steel cased ammo in my last Stag Ar. Very pleased with Buds, fast delivery, as ordered. Rear sight on this 316Echo is very nice, metal and well built. I recommend the rifle for anyone who doesn't want to get ripped off paying for an overpriced fancy Ar that performs the same as this rifle. Cant go wrong with Del-Ton.1 in 8 twist is perfect, takes all comers.

This AR is awesome and very inexpensive I don't get tire to use it. Since I bought it I'm been firing it 3 times a week with no jams at all up to this moment it has around 1,500 rounds with no issues.

Excellent rifle, well made and affordable. Took it to the range; very accurate with no hiccups. The delivery process from BUDS was also excellent.

Originally I wanted to get a KelTec Sub 2000, I just wanted a range toy, but while browsing the site I came across the S&W M&P Sport and the 316M for almost the same price. I've always wanted an AR but held back because of budget limitations. Needless to say when I came across these I immediately began to research reviews and quality of both ARs. The main reason I chose the Del-Ton 316M was I simply found multiple comparisons between the two and the 316M came out on top. I've put over 300rounds out of the box and not a single issue. The only next step is to install a rail on the handguard for a grip but that's just for personal preference not necessity. The iron sights are great quality and good to have as a backup and I bought a fairly inexpensive red dot. My total investment was right at $500 sight and all for my first AR and it doesn't look like it will need upgrading anytime soon. Couldnt have made a better decision with the budget I was working with.

Great rifle, no problems at all. Couldn't ask for a better AR.

Received my rifle today. Overall completely happy with the rifle itself. As for Bud's, I could not have been happier with the service. Shipped extremely fast. Would absolutely recommend the rifle and especially Bud's to anyone. Would rate both 6 stars!

Awesome rifle for the money, fit and finish was as good as it gets for a barebones ar, very smooth slick rifle.

This is a very good rifle, especially for this price point. Trigger is decent, fit and finish good. Couple things I would do is add an end plate with loop for single point sling. Also, I prefer a floating hand guard, which requires a low profile gas block and that would require a different front sight. All not difficult to change, but does add to the coast. I like that there is a flip-up back sight included as I want that as backup to any optics/red dot sights. I would certainly recommend this rife if you want one in this price range.

After about 200 rounds its hard to give a in depth review but so far I've had no failures and the medium profile barrel seems to lend to some decent accuracy for such an affordable AR. With the irons I've been pretty consistent hitting 8 inch plates at 75 to 100 yards. I can't sperm to longevity yet but every thing seems well put together and properly staked. In all it seems like a high value option.

This rifle is perfect, and I am 110% satisfied. I purchased this rifle after plenty of research. The iron sights are extremely high quality with the rear flip up sight being solid steel, with a long range and short range flip sight, fully adjustable for wind & elevation. Also, the barrel is parkerized which is a great plus. I would like to say thank you to Del Ton Inc for producing a high quality and well thought out firearm. Last but not least, Buds Gun Shop.. this is my first purchase through the website and I can’t stop recommending this website to everyone I know! Huge selection, excellent prices, extremely fast shipping (this rifle arrived in 2 days halfway across the country). I am a Buds member now and intend to do a lot more shopping! Thank you!

GOOD SERVICE FROM BUD'S AS USUAL WILL REVIEW WEAPON WHEN I GET TO THE RANGE.
