If so, how's it shoot?
Seems like an inexpensive varmint upper that shoots, according to the postings on MidwayUSA

I have a DPMS low/pro flat top A3, with 20" bull barrel in SS marked 5.56, with a RR lower and 2 stage NM trigger. Got the upper from Midway. Shoots the Rem UMC 55gr FMJ 1-1.5 inch groups at 100yds. Though it is a bite heavy I really like the rifle. I don't think you can go wrong with DPMS.

I just got 1 put together last week at my local gun shop. I shot it some last week end several times, best I could get with cheep reloads and a mile of trigger creep was 1.25". I have adjusted the creep out this week and have several different loads worked up to try tomorrow if the wind lays here. Will give a report tomorrow night good or bad. Barry

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

My brother bought one a couple of years ago. He put it on an RRA lower with a NM trigger. It shoots VERY well with GA Arms 52g HP "Canned Heat".

I got one with a 1 in 8 and a 24in fluted SS bbl, the 24 bull special, it was my first black rifle and by far the favorite, it loves 69gr match kings, usually moa or better, mostly cause im not a great shot.
