Delton AR15 kit

[tercel89]

What are you guy's thoughts and experiences on Delton rifles and parts ? I have a stripped lower and have saw a few Delton kits on AR15's and was wondering about them . They have all but the lower . Any information is appreciated.

I have a Delton AR, it runs fine.  I've not stretched its legs to confirm longer range accuracy, but it makes holes where I expect them to be.

I have had Del-tons and never had any problems.  They ran well and hit what I aimed at.

One of mine is a Delton kit. No problems.

In the description is states that it has already been test fired and headspaced. My questions Is how do you headspace one ? I have an old Bushmaster and shoot it and know it pretty well but I don't understand the headspacing thing. I thought that would be done when manufacturing or or milling it out.

I assume it comes with a BCG and they check the headspace with go/NoGo gauges when they test fire it.

The Delton kit says the barrel is Chrome Moly Vanadium. My Bushmaster that's 14 years old is Chrome lined. Would the Chrome Moly Vanadium be ok ? I read that the chrome lined is best for longevity and the worst is unlined raw steel  (for longevity). So would it be correct to say that Chrome Moly Vanadium would be somewhere in the middle ?

It'll be fine. The differences become relevant after about 30,000 rounds.
