I’m looking to get a dedicated .22 upper, A3 receiver, 14.5” or 16” M4 profile barrel with the standard front sight assembly.
I’m going to put my spares on it, RAS/GG&G MAD/Reflex, and use it for inexpensive and frequent(!) practice.
DPMS has this upper (16”) for $489 + $15 to attach a brake (which I’ll provide - $30), then a 10% active-duty military discount. Total: $486.
CMMG sells this same DPMS upper for $489 + $20-30 for the brake itself (no install cost). They didn’t respond to my question about the discount, so I’m guessing that they don’t offer it. Total: $509.
Kuehl Precision has this upper (14.5”) with a Wilson muzzle brake, for $465 + $140 for the Ceiner kit. Total: $600.
Kurt (Kurts Kustom Firearms) has this upper (14.5”) for $475 + $85 (A3 Tac Brake) + $140 for the Ceiner kit. Total: $690.
DPMS has the price advantage, but is there something with the other “brands” that would lean you to buy them?
Any advantage(s) that the Ceiner kit has over the DPMS, or vice versa?
Any opinions, info, experience, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! …. Chris
