| I have what I think are a few basic questions. What is the difference between the DDLES standard lower and the DDLES Vltor lower? Does the Vltor lower have to use a Vltor upper or can it use a standard upper? And, does the standard lower have to use a standard upper or can it use a Vltor upper. I'm new at this, so any help or opinions you could give would be great as I'm trying to make a build plan for my first build. |

It is all about line cuts and lines where the two parts mate together. A VLTOR cut lower will match the VLTOR upper in a better looking "line". Here is a matching cut - notice the ease of lines: 
Compare that to a non-cut standard lower: 
Notice how the lines are fine, but don't flow as "pretty". That is all. Mike |

Daddy, while the other replies are 100% correct about compatibility I think
if at all possible you should test the fit prior to purchase. I know this is not possible for internet purchases or if you special ordered through a dealer. However, as wonderful as VLTOR is, sometimes the tolerances between receivers can run from very tight to very loose, especially when you mix mfgs.. So whenever you CAN test, it is a good idea to do so. Good luck with your project. Ted |
