I think the DPMS kit is in fact the old colt kit. Now the colt kit was modified and improved from their old military M-261 which was made by Saco defense industries, then a subsidiary of Colt. I think DPMS bought the rights to manufacture the Colt kit. Now, this system, if they left it true to its original lineage has one major weakness or flaw. The position plate spring, which held the gun properly positioned in the upper, would break after about 5k rounds. I went through several in a years time. Not expensive, but something you had to have on hand. I have only seen photos of the DPMS drop in kit as opposed to their complete uppers, but if they kept this feature its gonna cause a problem eventually, usually while you are shooting. Ceiner does not have this drawback. Easy fix, get both, and sell the one you don't like. I'm happy with my ceiner for now, it has not failed me in all the shooting I've done with it. If it ever were to wear out to the point it needed to actually be replaced instead of just serviced, I would not be opposed to considering the DPMS offering, but someone would have to convince me that it is better than what I have now.
As for DPMS complete .22RF uppers, they are top notch in every way. I have seen and shot them and had I not already owned my current arrangement of a Colt 1-14 carbine barrel and upper with a ceiner kit, I would certainly have bought the DPMS complete M-4 styled upper.
