Good to know! I plan to shoot this rifle a lot. And thanks, I was going to get the good ol’ Magpul MOE CTR but went with the MFT and dont regret it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I bought mine yesterday the Echo 316L for $599 and paid $60 extra to get flip up sights put on it and so far I love it! Can’t wait to get it to the range!!! 👌
I have the same one, bought it before covid season and panic buying I got it for $550 total on sale. Fun to shoot reliable accurate. Parts worn out sooner than usually but put in quality parts running like a charm. But parts wearing out sooner and you change it by yourself will show you how your rifle operates.
Agreed! It definitely is. Perfect example of a well built rifle at a reasonable cost where “budget” or “entry level” does not translate to bad quality. Thank you so much for watching and your feedback!
I just picked up yesterday a Del-Ton Echo 316H with a 13" Mlok handguard and the quality is extremely nice, I will be taking it out the range this weekend to test it out
I love my 316L, I went with the furniture kit from THRIL. For $100 bucks I got a QD point butt stock, three mags, and a grip, and all were good quality. I also put the Radian-LT charging handle on it. Added a AT3 3xP scope and some flip up back up iron sites. The gun is pretty accurate and eats anything you feed, good review and nice upgrades.
I just bought mine yesterday upgraded the bolt carrier, put a holosun red dot, and of course my fostech echo trigger:), just need to do stock, grip and get a strap and I should be good for a bit
Heck yeah, man! Nice! This rifle has been absolutely awesome! I havent done anything to mine internally other than replacing the extractor spring to a BCM spring. ( I shoot lots of steel cased ammo ) It didnt need it but I still did anyways. As far as grips, stock & sling, the options are endless... I’m sure it’ll end up an awesome rifle for ya. More than it already is! Thanks for stopping by!🇺🇸. Hit that Sub button!
Congrats, man! You made an excellent choice! Yes, its fully customizable and its fun to make it your own! Let me know if you have any questions on it! I’ve been running drills with it and testing out a bunch of accessories on it! So far, it’s been amazing!!!
@@DesertTactical thank you so much! I'm looking forward to getting it tomorrow it's supposed to be comming into my ffl dealer tomorrow from ups. I'm also looking at the stock that you put on the del-ton sierra. Pretty awesome buttstock! The del-ton is also very affordable
sweet! me and the wife are looking to get an AR before this Bill possibly passes. this seems to fit the bill (cheap, reliable, and upgradable) once we figure out what we like/dont like we can go with upgrades or a better brand all together. thanks man
just purchased this AR today this is #2 AR as the first is a colt AR from the 70,s thought i would find a price point AR this time around and this seemed to be good choice the overall first impression is that looks to be sound haven't shot it yet but cant wait to put first 1000 through it. have some customizing to do to make it what i want thanks for info today this was 649.00 out the door
Oh, man. Congrats! I have no complaints or negative comments on this AR15 rifle. It has been flawless. You got it at a decent price. Mine was $499 when I got it over a year ago now. Great buy, man! Thank you for stopping by!🇺🇸
I have the regular echo 316, it looks like a m4a1, I’ve added a vertical foregrip, iron sights, new mags and a sling. Getting a lpvo scope soon and it’ll all be set up. EDIT - I got it at Cabela’s on a sale for $530
@@DesertTactical it’s going for about $300 right now at optics planet. I paid roughly $530 for my AR, I just want a scope that won’t let me down so I am gonna spend a bit extra, this is my first AR as well. The gun itself is great for the money so I’m not worried at all about spending money on it.
illmatic826 Yes. Definitely! If you are looking for some nice flip up sights that simply work and are well made, go with the Feyachi flip up sights. Around $28 for the pair. Although there are tons of options i.e Magpul MBUS if you want to go that route and spend more for plastic flip ups. (Dont get me wrong they are also good) for an optic? I highly recommend the Holosun 510 or the Primary Arms advanced 30mm red dot with cantilever mount. You would chose 1/3 or absolute co-witness depending on your preference if running back up sights. If you want to go less pricey I do have other good options for ya on optics.
No problem, man. It’s been such a good rifle for me. The only thing I swapped out not because it needed it but for better performance is the extractor spring to a BCM spring. Since I am running steel cased ammo in this rifle. No issues whatsoever.
Got this as my first ar and am glad I went with it. Ran fine out of the box and ran even smoother after the first clean. If you have any suggestions for a decent and/or good priced holo or red dot to throw on Ide appreciate it.
Nice! That is awesome, bro! Yeah mine has run fine. Had one fail to eject. Replaced the extractor spring with a BCM and problem solved. I shoot lots of steel cased tho. Yeah for sure! Depends what your price range is. I got the Primary Arms SLX 30mm red dot for this rifle. And let me tell you, its awesome. I have an Aimpoint on another AR and they are very... very similar! Good quality dot. I hear the vortex strikefire II is also good but I have never used it. If youre looking for a budget sight, feyachi makes some good ones. If you want a smaller one go with a micro dot. Holosun 403C is nice but up in the $200’s range. The primary arms micro dot has amazing reviews. About $160. Getting it soon for my AK. I bought an Eotech 558 replica for a 15/22. It actually works decently. Sorry for the lengthy reply. But when it comes to accessories, we could go all day. Lol. Let me know what you get. It be interesting to know!
Del-ton is a pretty decent rifle, just be sure to thoroughly inspect the rifle you're paying for, not just the display. I've had a few come into the shop I work at with very obvious issues that had to be sent back, good rifle with horrible quality control.
@@osker4738 It has. Ive ran it thru day/night courses and not been easy on it and its been extremely reliable. When I first got it, it didnt like steel cased ammo. But after a good break in period, it eats anything.
What was wrong with the stock grip , charging handle and stock? I would have at least shot a few rounds to see how they worked before switching out with aftermarket parts But then I'm an AK guy, and they work fine right out of the box..
Nothing wrong. Just personal preferance based on other AR platforms I have which I have shot a lot. I just cant with the A2 grip the angle doesnt work for me. The charging handle? Well I like the ambidextrous ability. The factory stock works but doesnt have the sling attatchment points I like. Ive ran enough grips, stocks and accesories to have touched base on how I run my AR's. I hope that answered your question.
@@DesertTactical I guess it's just different philosophies. I bought an AK pre-ban and have put rounds thru it and am satisfied with my abilities with it. I live in rural TN and just need something for the critters out here that is a little harder hitting than the AR. Due to the woods, nothing over 50-75 yards so range isn't an issue. Probably going to get the Del-ton just based on price and good reviews but will be more for entertainment than anything else. Good vid.
Optic? Or iron sites? ... Sorry, I didn't watch it long enough to see you put the Eotech on it. lol. Isn't it crazy that your optic costs about as much as the whole rifle? Crazy how much they get for those things.
extremely stupid question don't tear me apart for it. With the talk of the "AR Ban" I finally decided to get one. Iv owned guns all my life just not an AR. I noticed when you first started shooting you pulled the charging handle back and let it slide forward but when you changed magazines you didn't use the charging handle. Are you supposed to use it every time you put a magazine in? Again I am very new to this type of weapon and havnt even took mine out shooting yet.
When the bolt locks back after the last round, and once you’ve inserted a full mag, you can either pull the charging handle and release or use the bolt release to send the bolt home thus chambering a round.
Hella cool, man. This rifle has been reliable all this time. You’ll love it. If you plan to run steel cased ammo, my advice is run at least 200 brass first. Breaks it in real nice.
Nice rifle bro. And the add ons are just right. The only thing I dont do anymore is the comp. for me I like flash reduction, which the old tried and true bird cage flash hider does well. The minimalist stock is something I have been looking into lately. It looks great on that rifle. Does it weigh less?
Thank you! I picked the add ons carefully and searched around for the best prices. I actually kinda like the A2 birdcage on it. I havent even installed the comp on it. As far as the weight, I’m not sure. The objective was to keep this rifle as light as possible. Now, lighter than a Magpul CTR stock? I’m sure it is. But not sure if lighter or about the same than a stock M4 stock. I do have a scale. Gimme a minute. I’ll weigh em in! Good idea!
@@itsintheword230 I dont. But TONS of videos on AR maintenance. For a good optic that wont break the bank I highly recommend the Primary Arms MD-20. Or the MD-25.
Helping a fellow 2A channel out; subbed. 👊🏼 GW1 sent us over. You asked for constructive feedback on your vids. The room you filmed this in is echo-ey; the audio was challenging to hear.
Thank you so much!!! Yes. I am fully aware. I am looking around for a mic for better sound. I’m trying different areas to record my table-top video with no echo. Again, very new to this and trying different things for better videos and content! Thank you so much for your feedback and stopping by!
Desert Tactical Looking forward to your future uploads. The 2A community on here is a good group of people. Check my channel out and consider subbing. Thanks. 👊🏼🇺🇸
Strictly Plinking subbed! I agree. I notice its a huge 2A community here on YT along with several other sites. Some dont like us... thats for sure. Lol
It’s running like a champ! zero issues! The only thing I replaced was the extractor spring for a BCM spring. Just cuz I shoot a lot of steel cased ammo but no issues with the rifle itself. It’s been thru classes, plinking, night courses and it keeps running smoothly.
@@DesertTactical Sweet t0 know and thank you for the reply. There is one at the local store for $550. For ammo are running you with 55gr? Def buying bulk after purchase.
Ive ran 55 and 62 with no issues. I do highly recommend running brass cased ammo for the break in though. You'll enjoy this rifle, man. I have been meaning to do an update video on it.... perhaps its time.
Partially yes. Also for testing on this particular rifle. Its an on-going discussion whether to shoot steel cased ammo or not. I did a fair amount of research on this rifle and it has proven to run well with any ammo. At least mine does. Barrel degradation? I'm sure! but that takes thousands and thousands of rounds. Even with brass. By the time I get there, I most likely got tons fun range time and even then, a barrel replacement is not overly expensive. There is always the option to simply get another rifle. This is my 3rd AR and after only a few rounds, the one I like the most. I really appreciate you watching and your input!
Masters Champ it hasnt jammed at all. With brass or steel. But I have seen spent steel casings get stuck in the chamber. This could be due to a weak extractor. The extractor claw just bends the casings lip thus failing to eject. It’s the a common problem with steel cased ammo. Also most common with Tulammo. For some reason, I have noticed that. Wolf is a more consistent load. I refuse to shoot Tulammo from my rifles. I only shoot wolf, barnaul or brown bear polymer coated NOT lacquer coated casing. Thats another one right there than can... key word can, create malfunctions.
@@DesertTactical Hey man! I own a 316L as well (was my first firearm actually), I run Tula and have no issues. Not sure if its for all casings but for the 1k rounds I bought they're all polymer coated. Never had an issue with my rifle and shot well over a thousand rounds within the months. I've ran into a ton of snobs, but never had a malfunction and can run ammo and mags my friend's gucci AR can't. Love the gun, yours looks a bit more cooler ;)
That’s absolutely awesome! Good to know! Yeah, mine is working well. Just have had 2 stuck casings (separate occasions) in the chamber but I punched em out with a cleaning rod. I replaced the extractor spring with a BCM spring. To help with this. But overall its been good. I have a bunch of wolf polyformance .223 55gr ammo. I’ll try tula and see how that works. It’s been known that tula ammo is inconsistent but I’ll give it a try! Thank you for stopping by!
@@DesertTactical what's every is budget friendly. I've been looking at Amazon optics under 60$ and hand rail / guard for when the barrel gets hot I like yours!
Bro! No joke. Get the Feyachi V30. You wont be disappointed if you are looking into a budget dot. Unless you wanna cough up a little more. The Primary Arms micro dot or even the SLx are good options.
With my little knowledge on hand and how much I’ve shot it, I can confirm that it is accurate. The free float rail does its part. Now, granted that it is not a chrome lined barrel ( I know, bummer) it can definitely get you some solid hits and groupings. Of course, the shooter plays a big part in this and there are a few factors that also play a part. So standing, Not benched, focused and controlled breathing, I can get groups under 4” at 100yds. Not impressive, I know, but solid hits on a 12” steel target. On the move, transitions, reloads and during tacticool drills I can still hit that 12” steel at 100yds. Not impressive either but shots are on target. Benched, focused trigger pulls and controlled breathing, I can get 2” groups. I know I can close it up a bit more especially if I use brass cased 62gr ammo. But have no 62gr at the moment. It’s a 1/7 twist which is more accurate with 62gr rather than 55gr. This is just my rough research and testing. In no way am I an expert. Optic used: Primary Arms SLX 30mm 2MOA dot. Hope this helped or answered your question. I’m still learning as I go.
@@DesertTactical like were you hold the gun wen you shotting. Can you change the. Front end frame of the ar. Can you change the forend frame. Like a 12 gauge shotgun has the forend pump part can you change the forend on that ar.

Thank you! I picked the add ons carefully and searched around for the best prices. I actually kinda like the A2 birdcage on it. I havent even installed the comp on it. As far as the weight, I’m not sure. The objective was to keep this rifle as light as possible. Now, lighter than a Magpul CTR stock? I’m sure it is. But not sure if lighter or about the same than a stock M4 stock. I do have a scale. Gimme a minute. I’ll weigh em in! Good idea!
And a rifle light for home defense
So it is a multi caliber? Can you shoot 243 rounds
As in round count? Yeah, I’m sure you can shoot 243 either .223 or 5.56 rounds from it.
How's it held up?
@@tuberocker69 solid af.
what type of red dot was used?
@@itsintheword230 a knock off Aimpoint that ended up in the trash.
@DesertTactical ...oh wow....what have you replaced it with? I just got this rifle,also do you have a video of oiling the gun
@@itsintheword230 I dont. But TONS of videos on AR maintenance. For a good optic that wont break the bank I highly recommend the Primary Arms MD-20. Or the MD-25.
What hand guard is on that?
Fail Zero bolt, Two point sling, 3x optic / BUIS, trigger, MOE stock / pistol grip, and a rifle light along with a PEQ15 and it'd be perfect!
Witch pistol grip did you buy?
I highly recommend the BCM mod3
Witch one did he use? And thank you
@@CJ7Flat the one I had on this video is the BCM KAG.
It sounded like you said pdw pistol grip.
@@CJ7Flat oh yeah. Pistol grip. Yeah its the PDW pistol grip. I misread. Thought you asked vertical foregrip.
My brother got one yesterday 650$
That’s awesome! It’s a great rifle! 🇺🇸
Helping a fellow 2A channel out; subbed. 👊🏼
GW1 sent us over. You asked for constructive feedback on your vids. The room you filmed this in is echo-ey; the audio was challenging to hear.
Thank you so much!!! Yes. I am fully aware. I am looking around for a mic for better sound. I’m trying different areas to record my table-top video with no echo. Again, very new to this and trying different things for better videos and content! Thank you so much for your feedback and stopping by!
Desert Tactical
Looking forward to your future uploads. The 2A community on here is a good group of people. Check my channel out and consider subbing. Thanks. 👊🏼🇺🇸
Strictly Plinking subbed! I agree. I notice its a huge 2A community here on YT along with several other sites. Some dont like us... thats for sure. Lol
Desert Tactical
Thanks for the sub. You in AZ or NV?
What is the thread pitch for the muzzle break you got?
standard 1/2x28
@@DesertTactical thank you!
Hey desert how is the delton holding up till now any problems? Thank you!
It’s running like a champ! zero issues! The only thing I replaced was the extractor spring for a BCM spring. Just cuz I shoot a lot of steel cased ammo but no issues with the rifle itself. It’s been thru classes, plinking, night courses and it keeps running smoothly.
@@DesertTactical Sweet t0 know and thank you for the reply. There is one at the local store for $550. For ammo are running you with 55gr? Def buying bulk after purchase.
Ive ran 55 and 62 with no issues. I do highly recommend running brass cased ammo for the break in though. You'll enjoy this rifle, man. I have been meaning to do an update video on it.... perhaps its time.
Echo or Sierra?
@@paulgallucci6201 I mean... it says in the title. Its a Sierra
@@DesertTactical which do you prefer? I know what the title says.
@@paulgallucci6201 I dont think Ive tried an Echo...
Mine came with mag pul magazine
@@3ravines275 nice. Itll work
Cool
💯💯💯
Aaayeee, bro! Thanks for stopping by!
0Rockstar7 No problem man
Where did you get that for $500?
My local Cal-Ranch. Radical Firearms had some if their AR’s in stock a this past weeks for $599.
Did you've buy steel because it's a less expensive ar ?
Old timer at the shop today told me he wouldn't shoot steel in any of his arS
Partially yes. Also for testing on this particular rifle. Its an on-going discussion whether to shoot steel cased ammo or not. I did a fair amount of research on this rifle and it has proven to run well with any ammo. At least mine does. Barrel degradation? I'm sure! but that takes thousands and thousands of rounds. Even with brass. By the time I get there, I most likely got tons fun range time and even then, a barrel replacement is not overly expensive. There is always the option to simply get another rifle. This is my 3rd AR and after only a few rounds, the one I like the most. I really appreciate you watching and your input!
Well wolf .223 is in high supply and cheap
Does it jam up more with steel ?
Masters Champ it hasnt jammed at all. With brass or steel. But I have seen spent steel casings get stuck in the chamber. This could be due to a weak extractor. The extractor claw just bends the casings lip thus failing to eject. It’s the a common problem with steel cased ammo. Also most common with Tulammo. For some reason, I have noticed that. Wolf is a more consistent load. I refuse to shoot Tulammo from my rifles. I only shoot wolf, barnaul or brown bear polymer coated NOT lacquer coated casing. Thats another one right there than can... key word can, create malfunctions.
@@DesertTactical Hey man! I own a 316L as well (was my first firearm actually), I run Tula and have no issues. Not sure if its for all casings but for the 1k rounds I bought they're all polymer coated. Never had an issue with my rifle and shot well over a thousand rounds within the months. I've ran into a ton of snobs, but never had a malfunction and can run ammo and mags my friend's gucci AR can't. Love the gun, yours looks a bit more cooler ;)
That’s absolutely awesome! Good to know! Yeah, mine is working well. Just have had 2 stuck casings (separate occasions) in the chamber but I punched em out with a cleaning rod. I replaced the extractor spring with a BCM spring. To help with this. But overall its been good. I have a bunch of wolf polyformance .223 55gr ammo. I’ll try tula and see how that works. It’s been known that tula ammo is inconsistent but I’ll give it a try! Thank you for stopping by!
What does the L mean in the model number?
Delton makes a 316H model which is a heavy barrel. The 316L model comes with a lightweight barrel.
Thank you I have the seirra 316l currently and I’m ordering 2 more rifles tomorrow from dti just got to make a final choice on which 2 firearms
@@shaunlehman9158 Nice! My Delton has been running like a champ. Congrats on your purchase!
@@DesertTactical thanks for the review and response!!!
@@shaunlehman9158 No. Thank you for stopping by! Hit that sub button if you'd like. Hope this review helped in some way.
Nice👌🏽
Thank you! It’s been an amazing rifle!
@@DesertTactical your welcome i just purchased one can't wait to shoot it ! And trick it out!
Heck yeah, bro! What do you plan to upgrade it with!?
@@DesertTactical what's every is budget friendly. I've been looking at Amazon optics under 60$ and hand rail / guard for when the barrel gets hot I like yours!
Bro! No joke. Get the Feyachi V30. You wont be disappointed if you are looking into a budget dot. Unless you wanna cough up a little more. The Primary Arms micro dot or even the SLx are good options.
That eotech costs more than the del ton
Just curious about it's accuracy, grouping?
With my little knowledge on hand and how much I’ve shot it, I can confirm that it is accurate. The free float rail does its part. Now, granted that it is not a chrome lined barrel ( I know, bummer) it can definitely get you some solid hits and groupings. Of course, the shooter plays a big part in this and there are a few factors that also play a part. So standing, Not benched, focused and controlled breathing, I can get groups under 4” at 100yds. Not impressive, I know, but solid hits on a 12” steel target. On the move, transitions, reloads and during tacticool drills I can still hit that 12” steel at 100yds. Not impressive either but shots are on target. Benched, focused trigger pulls and controlled breathing, I can get 2” groups. I know I can close it up a bit more especially if I use brass cased 62gr ammo. But have no 62gr at the moment. It’s a 1/7 twist which is more accurate with 62gr rather than 55gr. This is just my rough research and testing. In no way am I an expert. Optic used: Primary Arms SLX 30mm 2MOA dot.
Hope this helped or answered your question. I’m still learning as I go.
MLOK sucks so bad. Really nice rifle tho.
Can u change for end area.
I don’t understand your question...
@@DesertTactical like were you hold the gun wen you shotting. Can you change the. Front end frame of the ar. Can you change the forend frame. Like a 12 gauge shotgun has the forend pump part can you change the forend on that ar.
@@jesusistheonlyway8100 Oh yes. Absolutely.
@@DesertTactical ok thank you i bern save in up for 1. Now i can definitely get it thanks. I appreciate you god bless
You can’t give a review until you have fired it . C’mon man.
