| I would like any information about the A3 upper that CDNN has for sale on their wed site ? Who makes them and about quality of these. Thanks |

cdnninvestments.com/aftermarket.html I dunno. I figured if they were "brand named", they'd have said so. May be Chi-com or a 'blackthorn-quality' part? |

I too wondered about the maker and e-mailed them. Just today I got an answer: They have no idea who made them. In that case I will pass. What if they were Oh-limp-dick? They could not give me one of them let alone paying $100 for one. Here is my letter to them and their reply. Of course I edited my real name out. Mr. Big-Bore, We do not know the maker. Thanks for your interest in cdnnsports.com. We do hope to do business with you!

If it is a DPMS, Superior Arms, Double Star or such other quality upper I will want to order one. If it is a piece of junk such as Olympic then I wouldn't touch it at half the price. Without knowing the brand I cannot order so I would really appreciate knowing the brand of the upper receiver. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Big-Bore |

Without specific experience, my hunch is that these uppers have a keyhole forge mark on the right side, and are part of a large batch that I've seen being sold by a number of dealer, without any info beyond the keyhole on them. I bought one awhile back from another supplier who also couldn't (or wouldn't) advise who actually made the piece. The one I got is perfectly well made, has white colored T marks on the top, fits both the Bushmaster lower it's usually on, and the Colt class 3 lower I sometimes put it on, perfectly. In fact, it's a better fit on the Colt than the Colt upper that's usually there. While the color match w/the early Colt is off, it's just about perfect when the piece is on the Bushie lower  Instead of asking CDNN who made it, call and talk to one oif the sales force; and ask him to see if there's a forge mark on the right side. If there is a keyhole, the odds are that this batch is part of the same ones I got.
