I'm building my 4th and likely final AR, probably a KISS carbine in 5.56. I already have a Stag lower. Is the DS arms upper good to go? It's 80 dollars on AIM. Anybody had any issues?

Our upper has went thru many improments over the last year and a half at first is was just anouther OK upper. Standard machining, no ramps etc...

Then about 8 months ago the owner, myself and our head machinist decided to change. We devolped special tooling, surface perperation, M4 feed ramps, machined in T marks, better forward assit placement and so on.

Where is the DSA upper now

Well we can only disclose some things but let me state that when comparing the machining on the "military" brand M4 product ours is more finely machined, which allows for smoother function. Also when inspected on both a laser and old school optical comparitors it was held to a tigher spec than the 3 other ("top teir") brands that were also inspected.

I've used a dozen of these in the past 5 months. They are an excellent part and would stack up well with any of the major name brands. I would like to see DSA fill the T-Marks (one of my lesser desired tasks).
Then again it would probably add $10 to the price and they are priced right as is.

I ordered two yesterday morning at 10 am, at 1pm I got notice that they had already shipped!  So far they score a huge +1 for service!

I'm looking forward to seeing them next week

Good evening all.

I bought an A3 DSArms upper a couple of months ago to sit on top of my Essential tough coated lower. Perfect fit and perfect finish match. 100% fit and function with all my Frankenparts. I also bought from AIM Surplus and the best $79.96 I ever spent.

Here's some pics of my DSArms A3 upper on my Frankenplinker.
