survivalshop Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Well some went out & gave me a gift certificate , so I had to blow it on rifle parts . My Brownells order came today & I got a DSA upper receiver & I was , as always, when buying a product from a manufacturer , waiting to see how well its made . The DSA got good reviews so , I wanted to see it . I'm putting it on my LWRC lower & it will be a 5.56 cal.. The upper matched perfectly in both finish & fit , nice tight fit between the lower & upper.This is a replacement for the wife's carbine that I needed a part for , for a friend (barrel ) .My wife is a lefty , so its going to be as ambidextrous as much as I can .This is why I started a thread about barrels , but think , I no longer care , I know the good ones , so it doesn't really matter how they compare .I will be looking into that next. I also picked up a lower parts kit , minus the trigger & hammer . A Geissele will be going in .This kit has the parts looking like they are blued , not sure if I've seen that before , going to have to look at my spare pats to see if any of them are like that.

Retired JM Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Just a quick question - since your wife is a lefty, why didn't you consider a stag left-handed upper receiver? Or was one available as a stripped upper? Good call on the Giessle. I've seen too many DPMS LPKs (hammer, bolt catch x 3, hammer spring x2) go tango uniform to trust them.
Jgun Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 What are you thinking about for the other components (barrel, handguard, stock) ?

I've seen too many DPMS LPKs (hammer, bolt catch x 3, hammer spring x2) go tango uniform to trust them.Yes , my thinking also.
survivalshop Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 What are you thinking about for the other components (barrel, handguard, stock) ?Stock will be a Magpul (of course ) ACS or ACS -L .Barrel will be a Noveske , not sure which one , but will be a 16". I had a chrome lined Double Star bbl. in the other rifle & it was a very good shooter , but want to see why every one likes the Noveske. I for one have no problems with another DS bbl..Hand guard , a Mid length ,but not sure yet , maybe try some thing new to me & I want it like the Troy on my 300 BLK. Nice small dia. for the little hands .
survivalshop Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 You builders rock...watching & learning <munch>I have to build this one first for my wife's birthday in July , then I have another .308 to build .
