Thinking of buying a new upper for my DCM rifle. Not sure what my old one is...1x8 SS of course...it is still very accurate but has fired a few thousand rds so I am considering a new one. Anyway, what is the current thought on what to get, and who has the best prices? I found a DPMS for $489 plus postage. That sounds good, but I have never bought anything from them. Would the RRA be better? If so, who has the best price? Thanks for any help. mike aka Penguin |

Quoted: Why is the RRA better? The RR float tube is much better and stouter than the DPMS. The RR comes with a Wylde chamber which is a better than the DPMS chamber. Most AR smiths who work with all of the DCM/CMP uppers will also tell you that DPMS quality varies too much whereas RR is about the best out there especially for the money. |

My friend, you are sharing a lot of hype without a lot of facts. The DPMS FF tube is stout enough that I cannot bend it... How strong does it have to be to do the job? :-) For competition the .223 chamber is better tighter than the Wylde chamber. Not that RRA is bad, but a tighter chamber is a key for better accuracy. DPMS quality varies too much? Not in my expierence. Both DPMS and RRA make great guns. For DCM, I would go with the DPMS for the reasons explained above. |

Ask John Holliger at White Oak Precision about DPMS uppers as compared to Rock River. Also, go see how many DPMS uppers are on the highpower firing line, not many. I am just as entitled to my opinion as you are to yours. Personally, I think RR is a better product at a competitive price. If you believe otherwise, more power to you. |
