NDS are lil bit better finished  (flash removed, better anodized finish) probably closer to original Diemaco standards or Colt C7 QC.   BM and DPMS and Fulton Armory I think, all use the same split A Anchor Harvey Forge-produced blank uppers.

Sorry, no.

It took months to sell a handful of those uppers.

Your best bet is to buy a black one and refinishing it gray.

The ones that Fulton sells are made by DPMS.  ( or were, about eight years ago )





Back in the day, one of the issues with the DPMS unit was that the charging handle track was too tight for a proper, GI charging handle to fit into the upper...you HAD to buy the DPMS charging handle.





Had I known that DPMS built the Fultons; I would have gone with Bus-hamster instead.  Other than that fitting issue, however, the DPMS unit was very well finished and everything else fit into it perfectly.  Still......





As it stands, I don't know if DPMS ever corrected that charging handle issue.  After a time, the charging handle track has worn in a bit and, at some point, I might be able to fully fit a GI charging handle into the upper.





So you know, that A1/C7 on the green background is mine....it's my favorite rifle by far!!!!
