Guns Magazine, July, 2004

From DPMS/Panther Arms

DPMS/Panther Arms is offering its first solid steel flattop upper receiver for the hot-selling LR-308 series rifles. Machined from 4140 steel and heat treated to a Melonite finish for increased hardness and wear resistance, this new .308 receiver offers shooters a balanced, smoother, sleeker and more angular alternative to the conventional 308 model. Available for the 16-inch heavy barreled LR-308T, the 18-inch bull barreled LR-308B and the original 24-inch SST bull Barreled LR-308. The receiver weighs 2.56 pounds, which should impress competitive and benchrest shooters.
