On American Rifleman TV: Making DPMS’S

DPMS—Defense Procurement Manufacturing Services—is one of the leading makers of AR rifles in the country today. Managing Editor Aaron Carter takes you to the factory and gives you an overview and insight into how this leading company produces its rifles. The Walther PPk/S is once again made in Germany, but this time in .22 Long Rifle, and Editor in Chief Mark Keefe heads to the range with the PPK/S .22. The semi-automatic ArmaLite AR-180 was based upon Gene Stoner’s design principles, but was made by ArmaLite in Costa Mesa, Calif., Sterling in England and Howa in Japan. The gun, and its full-automatic counterpart—the AR-18—were never really ready for prime time.
