Hey Guys I have a question, I was able to purchase a DPMS Sportical very cheap.   I also purchased an Aero Precision Stripped upper to get rid of The Sport in Sportical.  

My question is how can I know if they will fit. I know the sportical is an odd duck and hated by many...   The DPMS site has nothing about its specs... . If I change out the upper I hope to  have a decent gun. for under 700 dollars....

Also how much should dust cover and forward assist kits cost me? Under 40 for both?

I think I found my answer??

"Like the rest of the company’s ARs chambered in 5.56×45 mm, the Sportical starts with a forged, aircraft-grade aluminum-alloy lower receiver that is hard-coat anodized to mil spec. The Sportical’s extruded 6066-T6 aluminum-alloy upper receiver, also mil-spec hard-coat anodized, follows the DPMS Flattop Lo-Pro design, with no forward assist, brass deflector or dustcover. Though purists may cringe at the absence of these items, it’s a fair tradeoff considering the bottom line, and it gives the Sportical a slick, high-speed kind of look.'

Hopefully Mil-Spec is Mil-Spec all around....

It should fit the Aero upper or any other in spec upper without issue.
