bobk538447 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 I recently got a AR10 DPMS pattern, which is side charged. The only identification markings that I could find on it is a large N on the bottom rear take down. If anyone knows the brand please let me know.

bobk538447 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Posted June 19, 2017 You're right pictures speak a thousand words. Thank you!
98Z5V Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Looks just like a genuine DPMS slick-side upper. Also looks like it's got an index clip stuck in the top picatinny rail.
survivalshop Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Looks like its been converted to a side charing Upper . I will look at mine to see if any markings on them . Photo's can show details , that may not be noticed by all .
blue109 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Agree it looks like a factory upper that has been machined. Additionally, appears to be DPMS "High" Rail height for the sake of finding the proper handguard to fit it. Measure to be sure.
survivalshop Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 From my DPMS Upper receiver , this is an old build , my first 308AR many years ago , probably 10-12 years ago . Its before I was at this forum , & maybe before this Forum its self , because its how I met Imschur , who is king $hit here well maybe to himself . My guess is , as said , it may be a Side Charger made or altered by Fulton Armory , but its a DPMS Slick side as 98 noted .
bobk538447 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Thank you guys for all of the help. I saw a picture of a earlier Fulton Armory side charger on the web, but couldn't find any markings. I bought the upper and a stripped POF P308 lower at a gunshow this weekend for $200. Didn't need another one but the price was right. I kind of just stumbled into this forum as I am a .308 AR shooter. I have a KAC SR-25 older match rifle, and a LMT MWS .308. My younger son has one of the DPMS Gen II rifles. Edited June 19, 2017 by bobk538447

My younger son has one of the DPMS Gen II rifles. The POF & DPMS have different Receiver Pin sizes ( Disassembly & Pivot ) , if memory serves me . Fulton sold DPMS Receivers for a while early on & then supposedly made or had their own made up later .
98Z5V Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 Damn, I need to check my original DPMS upper receiver and see if it's got that "N" on the lug - not a slick side, but I wonder if it's there...
