Please tell me that thing at the bottom of the mag is some kind of minimalist display stand that doesn’t attach to anything. Otherwise, what were the guys at Troy Industries thinking? “Hey, let’s make these things so the rifle looks like an airgun, so that even airsofters will laugh at our customers,” maybe?
It is a grab device so you can pull the mag easier if it gets stuck somehow. Or wet/cold with gloves.
I love the TRX rail and Troy sights, but everything else….meh. I’d rather have Magpul or Vltor components
The changed the stock, the rail system, the new Troy mags and they left the A2 pistol grip alone, seriously? For the MSRP you’d think that even an alternate grip Tangodown, Ergo or MOE grip would be preferable.
That Troy stock is a lot sturdier than it looks. As a result, I hate it.
Oh cool, another AR.
Because it is the only rifle that actually makes money. You do not need much capital to start your own AR company. Low risk high reward and it won’t change anytime soon with the current economy.
More ARs = cheaper ARs.
The reason commercial AR us 1 in 9 twist is that civilian shooter use more than FMJ Ball ammo and 1 in 7 is too fast to light weight 4–53 gr sp and hp bullets for safety reasons the slower twist is used to handle both hunting and military ammo.
Mil spec is just what balances the military need vs what is cost effective… basically good enough.
My Ar is 1 in 9 and unless you need to hit shit out to 500 yds why go with 1 in 7?
I cant stand that troy battleaxe stock… looks cheap.
Oh look, an AR-15 built using off the shelf parts. *sigh* Anyone else remember when not everything was an AR? I mean, it’s a great rifle that has amazing adaptability and customizability, but I think the market is just about saturated.
Good maybe prices will go down
This is a complete rip off. Go with Rainier Arms’ new urban carbine. About same price, better everything else.
1300$ for a chrome moly 1/9 and that godawful stock! HA!
Del Ton is a nice company looks like a nice premium rifle.
Hmmm. I suspect the barrel twist may detract from it’s desirability, especially among mil-spec monkeys.
It’s a delton. I don’t think 1:9 is the problem here.
Also, there is a better component to every part on that gun. The Troy plastic is just gross.
my delton runs like a top with carbine gas system, 1×9 twist kinda stinks but it handles the 75 grain TAPS just fine, it wont choke on any russian steel case ammo. while not completely milspec it has a proper nato chamber, chrome barrel, m4 feed ramp
It’s nice to a see a new 16″ AR15 with a mid-length gas system by standard.
