Hello, I'm new to the forum here and have a question.

I have a Colt CAR-A3 HBAR ELITE. I want to buy a DPMS .204 Ruger upper and use on my Colt lower. Are there any glitches I can expect to run into? I am aware that the pivot pin can possibly be a different size between the two but I think there are ways around that.

Any info. is appreciated.

You should be fine.  Check your Colt to make sure the front pivot pin is .250 in diameter, If not you will need the pin to adapt a large pin lower to a small pin upper.  All DPMS A-15 rifles (5.56 NATO, .223 Rem, .204 Ruger, 6.8SPC, and 7.62x39) use the same lower if I remember correctly.
