The handguard selected for this rifle is short enough that a low profile gas block isn’t required, but it certainly doesn’t hurt that one is added anyway. I would have preferred AAC’s muzzle brake, but then again I always prefer muzzle brakes. Remington understandably wants to encourage gun owners to stay within their ecosystem when looking to add a suppressor. Definitely not the end of the world - there are plenty of accurate 55 grain rounds available - but that twist rate will tend to limit the useful range of the RECON.Īs you’d expect from any AR-15 manufacturer that’s come under the Remington umbrella, the DPMS RECON sports an AAC 51-tooth three-prong flash hider. That’s noteworthy, since the gun is positioned accuracy, yet the 1:9 twist would optimize the gun for lighter, cheaper 55 grain 5.56 NATO loads instead of the traditionally more accurate 69 grain and 77 grain loads.
Out on the front of the gun DPMS used a 16-inch heavy profile stainless steel barrel with 1:9 twist rifling. For the RECON they’ve followed the old Noveske formula to the letter, which is both good and bad.
DPMS is probably best known for their budget priced Sportical series of AR-15 rifles but their newer Enhanced Tactical line seems to be an attempt to move a little more up market.
