any problems using another brand delta ring assembly when piecing together a complete Colt upper?

Nope. Any std milspec delta ring assembly will do.

Colt doesn't make it.

I have been searching for a Colt one.  Anyone have a link for in stock?

You'll see no difference in a RRA, BCM or CMMG.

I'm fairly certain that Colt outsources the components anyway.


The ring itself and retainer snap ring can be had from G&R Tactical.  Bbl nuts are fairly easy to source, Thoroughbred Armament has them in stock. The weld spring is a bit tricky to find.

No, any quality made delta ring assembly will fit your Pony.
Order from a reputable source just in case..

Last time I talked to someone at Colt, all Colt made was the barrel, lower and sometimes the uppers. The stamped "C" uppers were made by CMT. I have a bunch of delta ring assemblies that are in package that have Colt parts numbers on them. I can guarantee you someone else made them, like CMT or DPMS.

Colt 3-piece Delta Ring  If you want to make sure it is Colt, but as others have pointed out, and solid milspec company will be pretty similar.  Rock River and CMMG are good sources of generic milsec parts.

I recently got a delta ring in a barrel kit from Windham. I can’t tell it apart from my 2 Colts except maybe the snap ring is slightly a lighter color.
