About This Firearm
The DPMS GII MOE is a short semi-automatic .308 Winchester built for range shooting and deer hunting. DPMS no longer makes it, so it is a used buy. Its receivers were a redesign of the .308 AR, lower, shorter and lighter than the first-generation DPMS .308, and DPMS credited the reduced-mass bolt carrier inside for a softer recoil impulse than that earlier rifle.
It came with sights, an F-marked front sight base and a Magpul folding rear, so it could be shot as delivered. The handguard is a two-piece Magpul MOE carbine unit and the stock is Magpul’s MOE carbine stock, with a standard AR trigger between them and a cancellation brake on the muzzle. DPMS stated no magazine capacity and no muzzle thread for the rifle.
If you’re cross-shopping, the Ruger SFAR is another used buy, 0.45 lbs lighter on a 16.1-inch barrel, with a 5/8-24 thread and an adjustable gas block. The Sig Sauer 716i Tread is still made, has an MSRP of $1,519.99 and weighs 8.50 lbs, with an M-LOK fore-end and a 20-round magazine in the box. The DPMS is the one of the three that arrived with iron sights on it.

Strengths & Limitations
- The bolt carrier is a forged monolithic piece with an integral gas key tower and a removable gas key extension, so there is no staked gas key to work loose.
- DPMS changed the extractor material, fitted an elastomer extractor spring and dual ejectors, added an inserted steel feed ramp and lengthened the ejection port.
- DPMS specified the barrel as a lightweight profile, which is where the weight was saved.
- DPMS stated no magazine capacity for the rifle, so which .308 magazine pattern a used example feeds from is worth confirming before buying spares.
- No muzzle thread figure was given either, so measuring comes before ordering a brake or a suppressor mount.
- GII-specific parts like the monolithic carrier and the barrel nut went out of production with the rifle, so they come from what is already out there.
