Hey guys, I am looking for a little advice here.
As you can see, I am the FNG here to AR15.com. I have used this site in the past with tips and tricks for my AR-15, now I've decided to finally become a member.
My current AR is a DPMS Oracle chambered in the .223/ 5.56 NATO. I use this rifle for many different purposes with those calibers. However, I am looking for something with a little more power, without having to buy another rifle. I found on MidwayUSA an Olympic Arms 7.62x39 complete upper receiver, said to be compatible with "standard" AR lowers. Does this mean that my lower receiver chambered in the .223/5.56 can work with this specific upper receiver? If so, is Olympic Arms my best choice value wise ($550)?, or should I go with another brand? If at all possible, I would love to keep the entire rifle DPMS ( im not a huge fan of mixing a bunch of different manufacturers for one rifle).
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everybody for assisting the FNG!!!
Last but not least, it would be awesome if nothing negative was said about anybody's preferred rifle or products they use. This is the BLACK RIFLE COMMUNITY and would love to keep it that way!!!
