In his 2014 American Rifleman feature story, Field Editor Bryce Towsley wrote, "One of the most popular AR-L rifles is the DPMS LR series. It was introduced back when DPMS founder Randy Luth still owned the company, and it became an industry leader of sorts. It is accurate, dependable and, most importantly, affordable. The magazines used are a bit differently than those used by the ArmaLite, but have emerged to become what is, arguably, now the industry standard."

DPMS, now a part of Remington Outdoors, has invested significant resources for developing new concepts, which is how the new DPMS GII, LR rifles came to be offered. Learn more by watching this "Rifleman Review" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV as editors review the DPMS GII rifle.
