Does anyone have a M4 upper from CMMG?  Do they have all DPMS parts?  Does the finish match the new Colt finish?  I'm thinking of buying one of these instead of a Colt if the quality is there.  Thanks,

They make their own uppers, and their barrels. Excellent quality and finish. They don't have the "M4" barrel extensions or true to colt feed ramps, but I hear in Feb, they are gonna start producing barrels with them. I highly recommend them.

I have one. I just rcvd it a couple of weeks ago. I ordered it on a Monday and rcvd it on a Wednesday, so you can count on really fast shipping. As far as quality, it is top notch. The color is very close to my RRA lower and the fit is really tight. Someone asked them to reveal the manufacturers of their uppers and bbls and they answered something to the effect that it was a secret??? You can see that conversation in the EE under ar15 parts new.

Here is a pic of mine mounted on RRA lower.



FWIW the website says the uppers are
CBEngineering Machined
here is the description from their website:
16" MOD4A3

New MOD4A3 16" Chrome Lined 1/7 w/ A2 Hider. This upper comes with MOD4 handguards and is complete with bolt, carrier and charging handle. Upper receivers are "T" marked and include feed cut ramps. 5.56 chamber.

I have a CMMG MOD4A2, the quality is definetely there. I'm not sure about the match with Colt lowers though, mine is on an Ameetec lower. The only thing I believe is DPMS is the bolt and carrier, the upper and barrel are supposedly CMMG's own stuff and not DPMS. The barrel is marked CMMG.

I'll tell you this, I had a few problems with my upper, but CMMG is the best there is at trying to fix problems. Most people don't have any problems with CMMG at all, I'm just saying in the rare event you do, they will take care of it to your satisfaction .

Here's my CMMG upper on a Bushmaster lower.  The finish is a little darker then the bushmaster finish.  The quality is very good - it doesn't have a true M4 barrel extension, but does have dremeled feed ramps.  So far it has functioned flawlessly.

I like their XM177e2 Upper but for that price I'd rather buy a true Colt M4 upper.  Why is it so much more?

I think it is more because they have the XM FH custom made.
The uppers are worth every penny tho.  Excellent quality,My MOD4A3 upper runs flawlessly, and shoots right around 1 MOA with Q3131A.  You won't be dissappointed with CMMG.

Thanks again for the pics everyone.  I think I will prob get a upper from CMMG...and eventually upgrade to a Colt.

I don't know how much of an "upgrade" it would be by going to Colt.
