Gents, I’m sorry, I may have missed (or did not make clear) my goal with this posting. The lower in question is of a DPMS make/style. My goal is to get an upper that will make the rail on the upper match the height of the rail on a good quality, full floating hand guard. My understanding of the DPMS style uppers is the rail height can differ by about a ¼”. I’m looking for my good/high quality DPMS upper options which will match the requirements listed above. I apologize for my struggling new guy questions. I thank you for your time and input! Best regards, Willie

Hi Guys! Thank you very much for your input! I will review it and see which direction I will go. If you have any additional info/thoughts please let me know… Have a great weekend!!! Best regards, Willie

Hello, Recoil Magazine has an article on the 80% AR10/.308 AR lower build. I’m looking into doing one with a DPMS style lower. I’ve done some searching on the forum and would like to ask a question for the knowledgeable (been there - done that) people on this forum. I want to buy once and not build a pile of aluminum I can’t use. My understanding is there are “Low Profile” and High Profile” uppers (Flat Top) for the DPMS style builds. I’m trying to identify my options for an Upper. Being new to building an AR10 (done AK47 & M4) and want to get my arms around the options and what is going to be my best options. What are the best choices for a Flat Top upper w/forward assist and complete Bolt Assembly and why? I am looking at making a medium to long range rifle with optics. Help Please… Thank you in advance for your assistance! Willie
