View Full Version : Buyers Remorse
I had read many favorable reports on CMMG Bargain Bin rifles many said Theirs were like new. So on 4-1-08 I ordered one ,on 4-3-08 they discontinued them. Now all I hear are negative comments.
Can't E-mail them to check status,only to cancel order. Should I cancel or wait it out?
I guess you only get what you pay for. Bad feeling about this deal.

But if he waits till then it will be to late
If you can afford to step up and buy another rifle I say cancel your order and get one in your hands now.
Indeed, cancel, and go out and get something better, that you can put your hands on before you buy.
Heard alot of bad things about those bargain bin rifles.......Vincep, where ya at?:supergrin:

Like What?? Besides the one guy over to AR15.com that blew his up using Rem UMC ammo, I have not heard anything bad about the guns them selves. (? bad ammo) A lot of people complaining about wait times and poor Ph and email responses, but not about the guns.

Don't cancel your order. You may end up with a great rifle. Wait to get yours and then decide how you like.

It's the Internet - you'll hear positive things and negative things.
I've had positive experiences with CMMG. I'd keep the order in place. What's the worst thing that can happen? If you don't like it, sell it - you'll probably make a coupe of bucks...
I may be missing something, but why cant you just phone them and ask?
Because on web site it now reads no phone calls or E mails unless you want to cancel your
order. By the way they hit my cc today so maybe I"ll get it soon.

I don't recommend buying "bargain" AR15's. You can get lucky though...
I would cancel it and get a Stag.
I picked up one of the CMMG BB deals when I first saw it on AR15.com in like Oct. or Nov. Honestly, I have not had the chance to shoot it yet, so the jury is still out(and probably will be for some time). I can say the fit and finish is top notch ( I grabbed the hand select option), better than an Armarlite I also picked up last winter. Not that I am complaining about the ArmarLite. Maybe I got lucky, who knows, I did get one of their CMMG MPC 5.56 Nato 1/7 marked barrel, not one of the "no name" un-marked ones. They sell that for $250 on their site(inc standard triangle hand guard cap and barrel nut and Front sight). Add to that a Lower w/ LPK $170ish and an upper receiver $130, you end up @ $550, and I would still need to buy a stock/hand guard/bolt+carrier+charging handle, Etc. and I would end up well over the $600 I paid for it. That being said, it is not my only AR, just got it for a 20" plinker. If it performs better then expected, great. I'll drop a FF rail and some glass. If not, I have other choices to fill their rolls.

I'd say cancel....
But that's just so mine gets here faster :tongueout: But really, I'd stick with it, I am. I hope it gets here soon though, I'm getting anxious :)
I kick myself for not jumping on one of those when they were available!!
From what I understand they are fullfilling orders with "new" parts..
You may get a primo gun!!

I don't regret mine at all. I could not find the slightest blemish and it has functioned flawlessly at the range. My only regret is not buying 2!

Just saw on AR15 website CCMG says balance of BB M4"s will be shipped this week. Good news if it happens.
For the most part in life you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a basic rifle, then that is what you have ordered. It should work. If it doesn't it shouldn't be something major to replace.
If you are expecting a Colt, I think you will be disappointed.

My DMPS has performed to date every bit as well as my military issued rifles, but I haven't taken it to 300m or put anywhere near the round count through it ;)
That being said I've put several hundred rounds of Wolf through it without a hint of a problem - that says something about reliability (and my current budget) in and of itself ;)
I am just looking for entry level AR do not expect Colt or other high end rifle.
Stick with it....even before they discontinued 'em, some orders were taking over a month. But it'll get there...they won't stiff you.
I love my DPMS/CMMG bargain gun. Performs flawlessly, looks perfect. No regrets at all.
I think I"ll wait it out now see what shows up. If I don"t like just get something else.
Just picked up BB AR15 M-4 16" DPMS lower, unknown upper every thing looks great no
dings or scratches that i could find. Soon as I pick up rear sight it's off to the range. No more remorse.

I finally got to the range today BB rifle shot 120 rnds of PMC 55 grn no problems at all very satisfied with function . Found out with my aging eyes I need a scope. Any one know of decent optics that don't cost more than the rifle? Just for range use not going to war with it.
