The DPMS Anvil is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, built around a gas piston operating system. The plum polymer stock and grips give it a distinctive look compared to the usual black furniture on AR-platform rifles.

Features 

The gas piston system keeps fouling out of the action, which improves reliability over extended sessions and reduces cleaning time versus direct impingement. Front sight is an adjustable post; rear is an adjustable leaf — both can be dialed in without tools. 
 
The AK-style muzzle brake noticeably cuts felt recoil for a 7.62x39mm rifle. At 10.2 lbs. the Anvil is on the heavier side for a 16" rifle, which helps with recoil management but affects carry comfort in the field. 
 

Usage 

• Target shooting and competition where the 30-round capacity and semi-auto action are useful 
• Hunting medium-sized game at moderate ranges where 7.62x39mm is an appropriate choice 
• Home defense for owners who are already familiar with the rifle platform

The DPMS Anvil in 7.62x39mm with the plum finish draws a fairly consistent response from owners.

Build quality comes up first in most discussions. The rifle feels solid, and the plum finish gets a fair amount of attention — it is different enough from standard black that it stands out, and most owners seem to like it rather than tolerate it.

Reliability with a variety of ammunition types is generally reported as good. The 7.62x39mm caliber is well-regarded for stopping power at medium range, and shooters mention it performs predictably across different load types.

Ergonomics get mixed feedback. Some find it comfortable for extended sessions; others note the 10.2 lb. weight makes it less nimble than lighter rifles in the same class. The adjustable features help offset some of the fit issues.

Value is a recurring positive. Users frequently compare it favorably to similar semi-auto rifles at its price point, which makes it a reasonable option for someone entering the 7.62x39mm AR-platform space.

The main reservation is aftermarket support. Parts and accessories compatible with this specific model are more limited than for more common platforms, which matters if you plan to modify or need replacement components down the road.

Overall the Anvil reads as a reliable, distinctive-looking rifle with a solid value proposition, better suited to shooters who want a range or home-defense rifle than those planning extensive customization.
