First to Produce a 6.5 Creedmoor AR-10
Did you know that the Founder and namesake of Luth-AR, Randy Luth, is the founder/former owner of D.P.M.S. / Panther Arms? Randy and his team are responsible for many “firsts” in the AR firearm industry. A recent article published by American Rifleman talks about the development and early adoption of the 6.5 Creedmoor.
“The first gunmaker to adopt the 6.5 Creedmoor in a commercial offering was DPMS, then helmed by Dustin Emholtz and Randy Luth, and the gun was an AR-10-style rifle. Davies fondly recalls that so strong were the personal relationships involved (again, the right people) that DPMS agreed to build rifles after “only one phone call.””
