    Am I missing something with these uppers?

    Looking for a 300blk upper and DSG is running a Black Friday deal that seems too good to be true. Am I overlooking something?

    4140 and based upon what I know, there is virtually no way they are making money on these. I am pretty familiar with OEM pricing and I don't see how it is possible.

    So in other words, this looks like a great deal Yes/no?
    Old prices are not bad never mind the sale!

    It'll take north of $4,000 worth of ammo to wear out the 5.56 upper and $7,500+ to wear out the .300 BLK (not counting reloads). You can probably afford a couple hundred bucks for another 4150 barrel if/when you wear out those "cheap" 4140s. As some have stated, looks like a good deal; DSG isn't generally known for putting their name on crap kit, at least as far as I've personally observed. They ain't making much--if any—profit. YMMV.

    Definitely hard to believe they are making any money on those, especially with the Seekins Keymod rail, BCG, CH, and adjustable gasblock all included. Seems like a killer deal

    4140 chrome moly with a Nitride finish.

    A BCG with MP testing, no mention of HP or whether it is staked correctly.

    I suppose if you like that rail and everything is done legit, it could be a good deal. Not something I would purchase, but that's me.
