I ordered a 20' gov't profile barrel from Bushmaster along with a flat top upper. I was looking over on Bushmaster's web site and the uppers listed there are called "V Match" upper receivers. Is there any difference between a regular upper and this "V Match" upper? I just want to make sure that the upper I'm getting is going to be a regular old upper and not something else....

V-match has a free floating bbl and a knurled aluminum tube handguard.

I have a 20" V-Match and I love it.

When I ordered my barrel from Bushmaster I told them I wanted a flat top upper included with that. I never specified what kind of upper and they never asked me if I wanted a certain type of flat top upper. I guess I should try giving them a call to see exactly what kind of upper I'm getting from them. I'm building my first AR, and my intentions are to build one similiar to that of a miliatary style M16A4. Hence the reason I'm going with the 20'' gov't profile barrel.

'V-Match' is just a marketing term Bushmaster uses to describe their flat-top uppers, RRA calls their flat-top uppers A4.  They're all the same thing...

Bushmaster V Match Upper Receiver

Darkstar is correct.

Thanks for clearing that up. At least I know now I didn't order the wrong upper by mistake.


Thanks!
