[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Upper question

Posted: 3/29/2017 4:32:56 PM EDT

I have an upper that was advertised as a Daniel Defense, but has no DD markings. It does have the keyhole mark with a "CC" beside it. Can anyone give me some info on it?

check the barrel for a DD mark.

alot of companys use upper forgings from random companys as long as they are milled and finished within their own specs.
DD used a a keyhole mark forged upper. made by cerro forge
and the CC is for Colt Canadian also colt used cerro forged uppers, but others will shed more light on that. so as of right now, it has a CC mark, its not daniel defense.
they might have added a barrel to a colt upper and called it a DD upper.
post pictures.

Here are some pictures of markings on the upper, barrel, BCG and bolt. Just looking to identify where these came from.

Only markings on the barrel. "C" and "MP" along with caliber and twist.

"A" on BCG

"MPE" on bolt

Markings on upper

Colt bbl. Bolt is not Colt. Mixed bag.

I have seen that "A" stamped carrier, but cannot recall whose it is. Not DD though.

How much would you value this upper as? Had a DD RIS FSP in FDE, pinned and welded SF4P and a Matech 2-600 rear sight.

Looks kinda like a Colt Block II clone. Its kinda odd tho because it kinda looks like a diemaco bcg (could you get a closer pic of that "A"?) and it looks like the upper receiver got double stamped.

Its prob worth more than a DD upper IMO (at least if that is a diemaco bcg and a colt receiver)

Clean used Diemaco bcgs sell for ~$120 on the EE.
I thought they were marked D or a stylized D. I have not seen one with an A?

No expert here though.

I just said "A" because that is what be referred to it as. It is a D but it is their logo which probably could be confused by an A if you didn't recognize it.

I just said that because it is associated with colt and it would kinda make things match up a little more but it wasn't all that great of a thought probably.

. Gotcha.

I know I have seen carriers marked "A", just can't recall where the hell it was. I want to say Aero Precision, but I am reaching. It'll come to me.
