I saw a DPMS upper on Midway, I think, for under $400 bones.  It's a pretty good price, so I was thinking about getting it until somebody told me not to bc it won't fit on Mil-Spec lowers.  Is that true or is that something I should specify when I order?  (I know Colt's have their own specs - take down pins)

Also, does anybody know who might sell a mid-length upper with flat top receiver and railed gas block in 16 in (not 14.5/.7)?  

Thanks!

I am not some expert or anything close to that, but I have a DPMS upper on a Spikes lower with a flawless fit. Shoots great and has literally zero play. Just my 2 cents.

If you want something cheap look at the DSA ones.

I'd prefer to get one with a good VALUE (price/quality) vs cheap.  I just wanted to know who had DPMS uppers and how they fit.  

Thanks for the replies.  

I know some people talk out of their @$$es, but it never hurts to get opinions from people that build these for hobbies or for their profession.

I'll tell you a little secret. The upper on my Colt M4 that I carried for 10 months in Iraq was made by the same contractor as the upper on my "M-forgery" here at the house. I used DPMS receivers as a base for my build. Sounds like your buddy is more full of shit than the country of Iraq haha

Colt machines their own receivers in house from forgings that are specifically made for them.
