that is a very very good price for a DSA upper with chrome lined barrel. that is about $100 off what they were selling them for just a few months back.
i think this is one of those "obama economic recovery specials". you can't hardly build one with a non chromed barrel for this price. if you count shipping your going to go over this price building one.
they probably overbuilt during the panic and now since the economy is soured they need to liquidate some hardware for quick cash--
if you need an upper by all means this is the one to get if you want a good deal.
all the DSA stuff i have seen has been very good quality.
m&a has some of those FN & colt unmarked bolt carriers with bolts for $120
j&e sells charging handles for $15 and ar-15 bolt carrier groups for $105 on the specials page.
i usually use the m-16 carrier and the standard buffer though.
this is a good deal i am a thinking. last upper i bought that was assembled was a CD defense that had been used as a demo but looked brand new. it cost $290 and this was before the obama panic. same type too- m4 flattop 16 inch chrome lined barrel 1&7"twist. 4150 cv steel. i would guess that these were built with something like those DD 16" barrels which are sold out everywhere @$169.99 naked--
so this is a much better upper than you can build for the price--less you have some very good connections somewhere--
hehehe! looks like that ad was a typo. you get a regular 1-9 twist barrel and no chrome lining in the barrel. still not bad though.
i am just itching to buy one myself but the big-O economy ain't letting me jump at the moment!!!:wow:
