We have DPMS, Windham, S&W, and Ruger 556 cal ARs on the range. Customers shoot them on a regular basis. The favorite has always been the DPMS because of the EOtech scope mounted on it. After two years of shooting last summer the DPMS started keyholing. Gunsmith said the barrel was shot out. The EOTech ended up on the Ruger AR 556. Before this I had reservations about the Ruger. I now have no reservations. It is a tough little rifle.

Accessories make a difference.
Estimated number of shots through that DPMS barrel?

Local dealer here stopped carrying the Ruger AR. Says there's a part in there that keeps wearing prematurely??? Can't recall what he said it was.

i63.tinypic.com/j8e8ue.jpgThis is a pic of an AR556 bolt carrier that I saw on another forum. It is machined different from all the carriers I've seen. Doesn't look like it's wearing well.
