$545 sounds a little high for a dpms upper to me PK has them for $499.

You have the lower already that is the only part considered a firearm. You can buy an upper online and have it shipped right to your house without a FFL.

I agree with the above; $545 will buy a lot more upper than DPMS.

Seems like a high price. The site sponsors at top of page are great to deal with and will have the best prices on the internet. DPMS is a decent starter rifle (my first upper was a DPMS Sportical), but be patient and you can find a little more quality in that price range.  Spend a few days reading the threads to educate yourself on the different brands and what they offer as well as the AR15 in general.  You will be infected with B.R.D. in no time...Enjoy!!

Thought the same thing ^ . Either way, congrats on the start. You could definitely get better for that price. Read and research a little more before you pull the trigger on the upper. They may all look the same but, quality counts and it will eventually show.

hard to read, use some puctuation!

550 is a little much as others have said, look at some other companies like RRA, stag, bushy, etc. for around that price range.  I like RRA and know that they have basic uppers for 500 or so.
