A lot of folks were asking me about the DPMS rifle the killer reportedly used.
We don't know the model he supposedly used (seen it reported as two different models including the one I reviewed in 2017 - mine was produced in 2016 FWIW) but, generally speaking, that version of DPMS [current company is completely different with different owners/facilities/etc...] produced very cheap rifles that cut corners to meet a price point.
Nothing wrong with that per se, for example, the one I reviewed here was $375 at the time.
Now, the review will likely show, especially accuracy wise, what the gun is capable of with a magnified optic and a reasonably competent shooter. Whether the killers gun had an optic is still unknown as was his skill set.
Why we don't have photos of the actual rifle seems VERY odd to me but that's a topic for another post...
Review of the rifle for those who want to check it out:

The CMP is going to start producing new M1 Garands with forged receivers in 30-06 and 308 🦅
With the forged receivers they won't be cheap but I think they'll sell well - I'll probably end up buying one to see how it compares to all my other surplus Garands...

It's certainly not a "gun safe" but it's 100% better than nothing at all & has built in points to anchor it in a wall or bolt it to the floor. Either of those options will deter almost all smash and grab criminals.
Cheapest I've seen it 👌🏽
