| how does the delton M4 16" chrome molly upper compare to something like the DSA 16" upper that is selling for $275? Is delton a decent upper for the money? |
|
Quoted: The DD is chrome lined the Del-Ton is not. I can not tell you a difference in quality as I have never handled a DD rifle but there will be quite a price difference. Try reading all the tacked threads in the ar15 tech section and you will be surprised the amount of info you can find.how would a Brand new Daniel Defense 16" M4 Barrel Chrome lined A3 Upper with M4 Feed ramps Standard Hand guards compare to the delton chrome molly? Thanks |

Personally, I am not a big fan of chrome lining. A non-chrome lined barrel will last many years as long as you clean it properly. |

I'll chime in and say that I have two chrome-lined Del-Ton uppers, and they have been flawless.
Also, thanks erne75 for posting a pic of your 20" DTI upper. I'd like to order another Del-Ton upper this year, and your 20" is EXACTLY what I am thinking about getting. I hope you don't mind, but I saved your pic, and i will be looking at it a lot in the coming months. 
erne75, what bipod setup do you have on there? |

| I just recently purchased the Del-ton 16" Midlength kit. It is my first AR, but I have only heard good things about them other than sometimes the wait time to get them.. I ordered the chrome moly, with m4 feed ramps and it only took about 2 weeks to get to my door. I was a little worried at first, but 2 weeks works for me. Now for all the accessories! |

I've fired over 1000 rounds of Brown Bear and the like out of my Del-Ton middie upper since I've gotten it and finally got my first malfunction a couple of weeks ago. It was a double feed using a used USGI mag I had never used before.
I want to blame the mag but I'm not 100% sure yet since I haven't done any extensive testing and can't remember exactly which mag it was. For what it's worth, mine is chrome-moly without M4 feedramps.
