Opinions wanted. which one DPMS or CZ upper? thanks, Greg |
| There's about $100 difference between the DPMS and the CZ. If you want to use iron sights, the DPMS is the better starting point because it can be had with those--or at least the front base--from the factory. If you want to go right to a scope, the CZ might work fine for you. I have a DPMS and love it, and from everything I've read the CZ is just about its equal in both reliability and accuracy. |
| I've had both the CZ and the DPMS. Both are reliable, but I prefer the normal operation on the DPMS (charging handle vs. bolt handle) and the finish on the DPMS is much better. It feels like a real upper, and felt more substantial to me. The CZ was painted vs. anodized and it looked cheaper. It's a moot point for me, since I'm selling the DPMS and will be using a M261 conversion kit from now on. Won't be as accurate, but it will be fine for can killing. |
A-rob, email sent. |

I have a CZ and the best part of it is being able to use the Ciener 30 mags. The accuracy is probably on par with the DPMS. Things I like about the CZ: 1. The price 2. Accuracy 3. Simplicity of design (no need to change the buffer over) 4. Balance Things I don't like: 1. The black paint instead of anodizing on the reciever (very tough but still) 2. The bolt (very similar to the use of a 10/22) 3. The lack of iron sites (I rarely use...if at all) |
