All I have so far is the lower... DMPS with Magpul ACS & DPMS LPK.
I was looking at the BCM 16" standard lightweight barrel & JP VTAC handguards. I do want a 16" barrel mid length system. I do not want to buy a complete upper. Would like your opinions for a barrel, handguards, stripped upper & sights. Is there really a big difference between stripped uppers? |

No there is not a big difference between stripped uppers. I've used BCM and Stag branded uppers, both Cerro Forge, but have had no issues with Cardinal uppers either.
I hate to break it to you but that setup is not all that light.... I recently did a build w/ Bushmaster superlight 16", vortex FH, std upper, BCM BCG, std charging handle, 12" JP VTAC, no sights yet = 4lbs 1.2oz. If you truly want a lightweight built I'd ditch the ACS as well as the JP VTAC in favor of an M4 or CAR stock and CAR or MOE handguards. |

Thanks for your responses. I really like the free float tubes. I don't like the look of the CAR or the MOE handguards. Guess i'll just build it so I like the way it looks. I really wanted to know about the stripped uppers. Just buy a BCM upper receiver. Outstanding quality & the price is right. |
