DPMS Firearms, LLC, founded over 20 years ago by President Randy
Luth, began as a small government contract consulting company. Luth,
himself a product of a precision machine shop that manufactured M-16,
M-14 and M203 parts for Army contracts, advised other small machine
shops how to find pertinent government contracts, develop the necessary
quality control programs and complete the contract in a timely and
profitable manner, all the while continuing to broker M-16/AR-15 Mil
Spec parts to the commercial markets. After four years, Luth began
phasing out the consulting portion of the business to focus primarily
on the sale of .45/1911 & AR-15 parts, kits and accessories. During
this time DPMS Firearms, LLC began designing and manufacturing rifle
accessories and purchased a manufacturer of lower receivers, and with
the ability to machine its own precision barrels, the DPMS line of
AR-15/M-16 rifles was born.
Today, DPMS Firearms, LLC is
located in St. Cloud, Minnesota and currently ranks as the second
largest manufacturer of AR-15 rifles* - trailing only behind
Bushmaster®. In addition, Randy Luth holds four U.S. patents for
innovative AR-15 rifle products with an additional patent pending.
These weapons and patented accessories are currently in use worldwide
by law enforcement agencies, military personnel and civilians including
U.S. Border Patrol officers, security agencies in Iraq, the Jordanian
army, America's top competitive shooters and big game hunters.
