Tomorrow I gonna buy this 7' barrel

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=316751

I have a question with :

Technical Information:

   * Mil-spec certified 4150 chrome-moly vanadium steel barrel
   * True 5.56x45 NATO chamber
   * M4 feed ramps/Barrel Extension <––––––-

This barrel is only compatible with a upper with M4 Feedramps or can I buy an standar upper.

Which of those two upper I need to buy ???

Either.  M4 feed ramps are in the barrel extension you are using.  The M4 reciever you have listed has machined ~blend areas to transition to these ramps.  They may line up with the barrel, or they may need a dremel touchup.  Ramps aren't always ramps.

The other reciever listed is the same other than that tranistion area.

It's not much work to do yourself either way, but I would get the M4 style first to see how they mate.

This is what I used with a Rainier Ultra Match 7.5" with M4 feed ramps.
