Within the next week ordering 2 Ar's Looking at the 16" custom upper or the M4 custom upper http://www.del-ton.com/AR_15_Barrel_Assemblies_Custom_16_Barrel_Assemblies_s/181.htm either with: 1x9 Chrome, YMH 4 Rail Free Float, Detachable Handle The non M4 is $20.00 cheaper. Is there any differance? Both barrels have the sight post - is the sight installed? Is the sight installed on the detachable handle? |

If you're gonna go the 16" route,why do you want the carbine(m4) upper? I wanted a 16",so I ended up buying their mid-length upper.
I could understand buying the carbine if you want to cut it down to 14.5 and SBR'ing it,or maybe cutting it down and then perm attach a flashider on it to make it 16" over-all. Plus the midlength is cheaper! P.S. I love my Del-Ton midlength!  Oh,and the front sights do come on all of their uppers. If you buy a flat-top,you have to pay extra for the carry handle sight,but When I bought my sight,they let me have it at a discount(to complete my upper). Del-Ton is good to go!

Not looking at cutting it. For mounting space plus able to cover the middle or rear of the rails for ease of handling or add a grip - the mid length handguard is prob a good idea. Is there a noticable differance from the lighweight hand guards to the regular? On Del-Tons website the carbine & mid length are 395 stock. The M4 is 20 more. Prices must have gone up? Looking at the M4 since it comes with a heavier barrel & M4 feed ramps, mid length seems the way to go. |

Thx for the input. Ordered recently from Del-Ton - 2 M4 lowers. 1 M4 1x7 with YMH railed handguard. 1 A3 16" 1x9 with mid length YMH railed handguard. Also 12 30d mags. ETA 12-16 weeks :) Putting an order together for carry handles, more mags & misc parts. Of course ammo :) Happy Thanksgiving! |

What timing....I was calling DEL-TON next week to order my Midlength. Do you mind posting picture of your Del-Ton. Here's what I want to order 16" Midlength YHM Quad Rail (LW or reg??) YMH Flip up Front Sight can you send a pic so I have an idea what this will end up looking like. THANKS!!! 5ptstar |

Glad to hear your ordering a middy! Both of mine are on BO. 12-16 weeks. Def will post pics when they arrive. Decided to go with the regular YMH railed hand guard. Seems to me with the lightweight its possible to break a knob. The rails seem more durable. Sure the quality is excellent in either, want the reassurance of durability. Seen pics of 16 middy builds on here in this forum & general AR forum. Went with the standard iron front sight to use the front sight to instantly zero the scope. Buddy uses his for patrol/sniper & its sweet! Probably wont be installing an IR laser like he has though :) Good luck! Del-Ton customer service is great! If you email, it might take a while for them to get back to you. With an order 12-16 weeks out. Whats a week or 2 to respond back? Next build will be a 11.5 or 20? Leaning towards the 20. |
