I have been wanting to do a review of my DM4 308 rifle for a while now, and even though I sold it about a year ago, I decided to gather some old notes, pictures, and videos and do the review anyway. (Especially since I regret selling it)

Before I jump into this review, I want to make known that I am in no way affiliated with the manufacturer of the DM4 308 Rifle. I bought the rifle with my very own ice-cream money that I saved up for decades, and even though I had some issues with it, I have no hard feelings because I absolutely loved it. So rest assured this review is going to be 100% unbiased. I have nothing to lose or to gain from this review.

The Rifle
The Rifle Reciever and Barrel

The rifle is actually an Armalite AR-10b receiver, with a locally manufactured 18″ stainless steel barrel with a 1:10 twist rate by Musgrave Rifles in Ermelo. The barrel is a heavy profile, and yes, it makes the rifle pretty damn heavy, but that heavy profile makes all the difference in barrel rigidity and if you understand barrel harmonics, you will know that it helps a crapload with accuracy.

Rapid firing will cause a rifle’s barrel to heat up quickly and the slight warping that takes place will cause a shift in the point of impact. The heavy barrel of the DM4 308 does well in reducing this effect.
