Description

This lot features a single DPMS Panther Arms A-15 semi-automatic rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO, configured with a 17-inch free-float barrel. The rifle is equipped with a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) and is presented in a matte black finish. Key markings on the right side of the lower receiver include D.P.M.S. HUNTSVILLE, AL U.S.A. along with SAFE and FIRE selector designations. The left side of the magazine well is prominently marked with the DPMS Panther Arms logo and panther head, CAL. MULTI, MOD. A-15, and serial number FFH050260, accompanied by a QR-style data matrix code. The barrel, visible through the M-LOK handguard, is marked 5.56 NATO 1/8. Furniture consists of a polymer Magpul-style collapsible buttstock, a textured Emissary Axle pistol grip, and a vertical foregrip. Mounted to the forward right section of the handguard is an Olight Odin Mini weapon light (serial P10809496) featuring a remote pressure switch secured to the vertical grip with heavy black fabric tape. The rifle features a flat-top Picatinny rail for optic mounting and a standard birdcage flash hider. Please note that this rifle is missing its magazine and iron sights. We have not function-tested this firearm and mechanical function has not been independently verified. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The metal finish shows moderate wear throughout, particularly visible on the bolt carrier, ejection port cover, and receiver pins. The black fabric tape wrapping on the foregrip shows significant fraying and wear. The polymer stock and Emissary grip show light handling marks but remain structurally sound. The bore was not inspected and its condition is unknown. The action appears to cycle normally, but the Forced Reset Trigger has not been tested for live-fire function.
