bmnloader Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 A friend bought a DPMS LR308 and now wants to add the shell deflector. He bought the deflector from DPMS but we can't seem to figure out how it attaches to the upper. From what I'm reading, the deflector has to bought with a gun that has that option on it from the factory. His has the 24" stainless bull barrel on it and I believe its an A2 upper?

blue109 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 So...he has a slickside upper and wants to add a shell deflector? Can you post a pic/ link to what he bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmnloader Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 This is it and yes it's a slickside upper. He's not so worried about the deflection, he's more concerned about the brass hitting the side of the upper and leaving marks on it! his dad was a gunsmith and he's pretty picky about his guns but instead of watching his dad when we were kids, well you know we were into other things. http://www.dpmsinc.com/Case-Deflector-for-the-A2-Upper-Receiver_p_1655.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) That is meant for an A2 (carry handle) upper in 5.56. Not sure if it will work with a detachable carry handle bolted to an A3 (flat top) which i'm guessing you have. The brass will leave marks on the upper, but its not bad or deep. Get a piece of tape or something like that if it bothers you. Edited November 18, 2013 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I think you can get ones that mount on the flattop rail. I didn't think anyone bought handled 308-AR uppers these days... except the old school AR-10 purists....
