Can I get some opinions one way or the other?  I just picked up the Bushmaster last week, but haven't shot it yet, since I don't currently own a lower (one is on the way).  However, I was looking through the CTD catalog and got my first look at the DPMS upper.   They are priced the same, and I have heard good things about DPMS in general.

I prefer the M4 appearance of the DPMS upper MUCH BETTER than the Bushmaster upper I have now, but other than that, what are the differences between the two?  Accuracy?  Availablity of hicap mags?  Reliability?  Bolt hold open? Anything else?

Thanks.

Do a search in this forum. There are numerous posts about both guns here. Should keep you busy reading all evening.

2600 posts and you don't own a lower? What's wrong with this picture?

I have owned two ARs, one was a lemon, the other I sold last year.

Oh, and make that 2700 posts, by the way.
