DPMS Panther Arms (Defense Procurement Manufacturing Services) has a significant history in the AR-15 market, particularly in making the platform more accessible and affordable to a wider civilian audience.
Founding and Early Years (1985-1990s):
Founded: DPMS was founded by Randy Luth in 1985 in Osseo, Minnesota.
Initial Focus: It began as a precision machine shop, primarily manufacturing parts for military contracts, including M203 grenade launchers, M14, and M16 rifles for the U.S. military.
Expansion into Civilian Market: In the later 1990s, DPMS began expanding its focus, selling Colt 1911 and AR-15 parts and accessories to the civilian market. This laid the groundwork for their eventual production of complete AR-15 style rifles.
Rise to Prominence (Late 1990s - 2007):
Full Rifle Production: DPMS transitioned into producing complete AR-15 style rifles, becoming known for offering a wide range of configurations at competitive prices.
Democratization of the AR-15: DPMS played a crucial role in popularizing the AR-15 platform among civilian shooters. They offered reliable and accurate rifles and components that were more affordable than some of the established brands, helping to broaden the appeal of the \"Modern Sporting Rifle.
