Need some help
I am doing my first build and I was wondering if anyone here has ever put a DPMS Mk12 barrel on a VLTOR upper reciever. Both products get great reviews and I was curious to know if anyone had done this before. I have the barrel, just haven't ordered the upper yet. Any advice would be welcomed.
Re: Need some help
The Voltor upper is awesome, but not nessesary especially for an SBR. The MUR would be better served when using a long barrel. As for DPMS... For the time and money you will put into an NFA weapon, get a better barrel. I used Noveske. I don't even know if DPMS has true 5.56 chambers. Do a search on DPMS and make you own decision. In the end it is your money, do what makes you happy, not what the internets tells you to do.

Re: Need some help
Thanks, the barrel is 18" and is in the "heavy" category. I had a hard time tracking down barrels by themself. Is the Noveske barrel on the pricey side?
Re: Need some help
For some reason I thought you were building an SBR. Yes, Noveske is expensive, but worth it. I actually used White Oak Armament for my Mk12 clone. I have no experience with DPMS, but I have read about enough issues with their products that I would not use them.
