The DPMS DP-10 is a robust and versatile modern sporting rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, designed to deliver reliable performance for hunting, target shooting, and tactical applications.
 
Key Features
Barrel and Chamber:
The rifle features an 18-inch stainless steel barrel with a 1:10 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing a wide range of bullet weights in the .308 Winchester caliber. The mid-length gas system ensures smooth cycling and reduced recoil, enhancing shooter comfort and accuracy.
Handguard and Muzzle Device:
Equipped with a 15-inch M-LOK free-float handguard, the DP-10 offers ample space for accessory attachment, allowing customization to suit various shooting needs. The free-float design aids in maintaining accuracy by preventing external pressures on the barrel. The rifle is fitted with an A2-style muzzle device, effectively reducing muzzle rise and flash.

Stock and Ergonomics:
Fitted with a B5 Systems Bravo adjustable stock, the DP-10 offers a secure and comfortable cheek weld, enhancing shooter stability. The stock is adjustable, allowing for a personalized length of pull to fit various shooters and shooting positions. The rifle also includes a DPMS custom overmolded A2 grip, designed for improved ergonomics and control.
Construction and Durability:
Built with forged 7075 T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers, the DP-10 ensures strength and longevity. The bolt carrier group is constructed from 9310 steel, shot-peened, and magnetic particle inspected for reliability and durability. The gas key is properly staked with grade 8 fasteners, ensuring a secure and durable assembly.
