    in Long Gun


  • Hello, just bought my first AR from Buds, delton RFTM160 echo 223/5.56. Looking up on utube, etc. I see many references to delton "sport". Is there really a diff operationally/functionally that I should be aware of, or just different branding/name. Not looking for which is better discussions, since is my first AR, I'm sure once I get proficient at this I will up-scale later, but please help an AR newbie (cool with 9mm handguns and 12ga shotguns) out in this new arena. Thanks!

  • They are both good rifles. The Echo 316H with the heavier barrel is what I'm running here with iron sights. It's been a fine rifle (shoots 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards with a scope). I'll run it in 3-gun tomorrow in Iron Sight. The basic 316 has the M-4 barrel profile which is lighter. The Sport is basically the same rifle.

  • No functional or reliability differences whatsoever Paul. Unless you are running constant mag dumps to heat up the barrels, you will notice not a single difference.

  • The main difference is the thinner barrel.

  • Hi Paul it's not much different. The Echo is just the newest model over the sport model. You got a great firearm.
