This was Cabelas latest shipment, so I was told. New in the box.( I did witness that) Guess I will have to dish out some more dollars to get the new upper., I hope there is no other fitment issues. When I zoom in on some of the photos on the DPMS web site they look similar.

Appreciate the information I was totally lost with this height issue

Thank you Do you know if that railed hand guard you referred to is on the DPMS web site? They have one with 4 rails for $189.00 but not sure if that was it

Lets talk DPMS rail height again Picked this DPMS LR-308 24 in bull barrel at Cabelas the other day. Wish wishing to upgrade with a new fwd. rail buy immediately ran into confusion as a lot of people do. All the information I am finding regarding two differing rail height on the receiver still doesn't come close to what is on my upper receiver. Did DPMS change the height again? Anyone else have this type and were you able to upgrade without buying a new upper. Pictures attached shows measurements.
