DPMS Firearms: Panther Mark 12

At first look, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the fierce appearance of the DPMS Panther Mark 12. Once you look past the exterior, however, it’s easy to see that this firearm has some of the best features available today. With its 18” stainless steel heavy barrel, the DPMS Panther Mark 12 is engineered with a Panther Flash Hider to disperse gas, reducing muzzle climb and flash and enhancing its already acute accuracy.

Plus, the tighter-than-usually 1x8” twist gives the .223 Rem cartridge extra stability for maximum effectiveness. This AR 15 from DPMS Panther Arms is equipped with a windage-adjustable Midwest Industries flip-up rear sight and a Yankee Hill Machine flip-up front sight. At an empty weight of 8.75 lbs. and collapsed length of 35 ½”, the DPMS Panther Mark 12 is easy to handle and fun to fire.
