The Affordable Modern Sporting Rifle. Del-Ton is a manufacturer based in Elizabethtown, North Carolina and originally supplied quality custom rifle kits, parts and accessories. Today, the company offers a complete lineup of AR-15 rifles that are made with 100% U.S. made components at their manufacturing plant and come backed by a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser.

At the heart of the design is a direct gas impingement system. Gas is tapped from the barrel as the bullet passes by the port located above the rifle's front sight base. The gas then rushes into the port and down a gas tube located above the barrel and into the upper receiver.

From there, the gas tube funnels into the bolt carrier. This gas system unlocks the bolt and begins the cycling process, but only after the bullet has exited the barrel. Direct impingement has several advantages over gas piston systems. For semi- automatic rifles with a barrel length of 16" or greater, impingement AR-15s are lighter, easier to free float the barrel, and much less expensive to manufacture.

The Del-Ton DT Sport is equipped with a commercial 6- position collapsible stock allows the shooter to adjust length of pull to their personal preference, while the carbine length handguard provides steady handling. It has a positive aluminum magazine catch for easy ejection of magazines.

The chrome lined gas key has been properly staked to the chrome plated bolt and carrier. The bolt itself is constructed out of 158 Carpenter steel that has been High Pressure Magnetic Particle Inspected for high quality assurances.

An ergonomic design makes the charging handle, safety selector, magazine release and bolt catch easy to access. The single stage, service grade trigger is both positive and breaks cleanly at 7- pounds.

The lightweight contour 16.1" 4140 chrome moly steel barrel includes an A2 flash hider. The 1:9" twist rate is fast enough to stabilize heavy bullets like the 69gr match round, while still capable of accurately firing standard 55gr ball ammo.

The Del-Ton DT Sport is chambered for 5.56 NATO cartridges , which allows you to safely fire both full power 5.56 or lower powered .223 rounds interchangeably without adjustment to the gas system. It does not include M4 feed ramps, but feeding is ultra reliable under everything but deplorable operating conditions.

Both upper and lower receivers are forged from durable, lightweight aircraft grade 7075-T6 aluminum. Due to the fact the bolt locks into a steel extension on the barrel and not the receiver, the Del-Ton DT Sport can easily use such lightweight construction materials without sacrificing structural integrity.

The receiver surfaces are then hard coat anodized and dry film lubed per military spec to provide wear and corrosion resistance. The rifle weighs in at just 5.8 pounds emptyand is a fast handling carbine. It includes one 30- round magazine. All steel parts wear a mil- spec manganese phosphate finish, including the barrel. Build quality is excellent and there is virtually no play between the upper and lower receiver.

While rear iron sights are not included with the package, the Picatinny flat top receiver has multiple attachment points for optics or detachable sights. The A2 "F" height front sight post is correct for co-witnessing and adjustable for elevation. In the rare event a round fails to go into battery, the rifle is equipped with a forward assist. Similarly, a spring loaded receiver dust cover is designed to keep out dirt and other debris from entering the action, but instantly opens after the first shot.

Overall, the Del-Ton DT Sport is an ultra affordable, extremely well built, accurate and versatile AR-15 rifle designed for many years of reliable service.
