A friend of mine has offered me a takeoff 1/7 Colt H-Bar barrel for a very good price. I'm going to build a dedicated coyote upper around it and I'm looking at a DPMS High Rise match upper receiver to mount it on. Heard some complaints about DPMS rifles in general but I like the specs of this particular receiver. Anybody used one of these and, if so, got any info I should know?
Here is the part I'm talking about. http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts...604-13031.aspx TIA __________________ Join the NRA |
| Could not get the link to work, brownells sight error message. If it is the high rider you are talking about they are a bit odd looking in person. Friend bought one during the panic and did not care for it. Finally put it together with a Hogue tube and it looked alright and has since sold it. I would just go with a standard receiver or a regular profile slab/slick side if you do not want the door or forward assist. |
| I'm not too into high rise uppers as they limit you a bit. If you like the slickside style brownells does have a regular height slickside DPMS upper for the same price. As far as stripped uppers are concerned DPMS is just fine. Some people have issues with DPMS' complete rifles, but I have a buddy that hasn't had any issues with his. That's the only DPMS that I've shot... |

Yes, it is the high riser. You're right, I don't want a forward assist and the port cover I don't care either way. I can always leave off the cover itself. I figured using the high riser would allow me to eliminate using a riser block under the scope. Haven't decided on the scope yet but I'll probably use a 6x fixed power. What other slick side upper would you suggest.
Thanks. |
