Handguard

The rifle came with a UTG Slim free float keymod rail.

I must say, the keymod was a bit of a pain in the ass to get certain mounts for, however, it was worth the weight savings after all was said and done.

The Muzzle Break

At the end of the barrel was a very nicely built muzzle break which did a great job at reducing the recoil, but a word of warning – the shock wave it produces will make bystanders crap themselves, sometimes literally.

I also found it problematic while shooting off the ground because the muzzle brake would kick up dirt into everyone’s faces.

This dust cloud could easily give away your position, which could be a problem if you are of those tactically minded keyboard commando’s.

This, along with the loudness of the rifle, is the main reason I decided to go with a sound suppressor.

DM4 308 Rifle Problems

Before we start bashing the DM4 308, I want you guys to know that I absolutely loved the rifle, but it didn’t come without problems.

I want to discuss some of them in this review.

The DM4 308 rifle does not accept Magpul magazines.

The rifle was over-gassed causing it to run unreliably.

The buffer tube was loose out of the box.

Support from the manufacturer was less than satisfactory.

I managed to get all these problems fixed in time, and once all the teething problems were out of the way, the DM4 308 was an absolute dream to shoot! Let’s look at each of the issues I had, and how I fixed them.

1. The DM4 308 does not accept Magpul Magazines.

I was disappointed when I found out that the DM4 308 does not accept Magpul 308 magazines.

When I asked the salesperson (I won’t mention any names) at the time of purchase and they assured me it does take Magpul magazines.

This goes to show that there is a lack of information released about the specs of the rifle.
