Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Anyone shooting one of these? - DPMS Upper Assembly AR-15 A3 Flattop Upper with Bolt Carrier Assembly 223 Remington 1 in 9" Twist 20" Bull Stainless Steel

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.

Well I tried some more loads yesterday 55grn Vmax's shot the best, at about 3/4 MOA. I will try different powders next weekend and see what happens.

I'll dig up some target pics and post them this week......itsa shooter.

Heres a pic of the target.....note 10 shots @ 300yds.
This was pre Jard trigger too.

And the gun in question.....

That's some powerful good shooting. I love the reaper decal. Where did ya get it?

Tom,

I can dig that!

Actually its not a decal....I painted it on.

Nice rig!

Dang, you're and artist to boot!!!!!!!!!

Nice rig. I'm looking hard at the new Stag lefty Super Varmiter.
Then maybe adding a 6.8 upper for my grandson to do some deer whacking with. I'm thinking the 110 gr TSX should do the job.

I'm thinking it would too... watch out deer!
And yes I do have artistry in my blood.

I'd say you do!

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.

I like mine. 30 rounds, 90 seconds, 100 yds
