Hello all. I've been a member for awhile just inactive,but I'm back into the AR market now. I'm doing my first build using the DPMS A-2 upper. I've tried searching for a surplus A2 barrel without much luck. Can anyone help me? The reason I want the surplus barrel is no M4 feedramps as the upper doesn't have them. Maybe I shouldn't worry about it. Any help appreciated.

Unless there is some specific reson you dont want the M4 feed ramps, feeding should not be an issue. A barrel with M4 feed ramps will work very well in a A2 upper.you just cant go the other way.

I was just concerned it would cause reliability issues. Thank you for your help. I'm going to go with the Windham 20" barrel. Any feedback on those? Thanks again.

I have the WW 20 government profile on a FN A2 upper I bought from the EE. I love it. It is a very good barrel, and it does have the M4 ramps. I like the barrel/build so much that I got rid of my Colt Hbar A2. I am now working on a go to target load using 69 gr Hornady match.

Does your upper have the M4 cuts?
