    While these particular uppers aren't my cup of tea, all things considered, I would say it's a good deal. In the past year I bought one of their DSG branded uppers and BCGs when they were on-sale. While my round count on the upper/BCG is low (300 BLK; roughly 500 rds) I haven't had any issues with the parts.

    Regarding DSG Arms as a company, I've used them for years for their military discount. During the "scare" I was able to source all of the parts for a Noveske build. Throughout that whole charade they kept the discount, kept prices reasonable and honored back orders (and their customer service reps would call with updates and to ensure I still wanted what I had ordered months prior). Considering all of that, if I were looking for an upper and these fit the bill, I would buy without hesitation if only because I know that DSG would fix any issues that might arise.

    Not sure what your deal is, but I never said that DSG made them and I reiterated that. You should try reading the comments first. People can spend their money how and where they want. I simply provided my ACTUAL experience with what I saw, and not something that was read on the internet.

The uppers DSG are selling are a great buy, and those that have already received theirs have nothing but good things to say about them.

    I saw the DSG prices, and then I saw the specs on them. That was enough to convince me I would pass. If I needed a super cheap budget build I might change my mind, but I'm one of those people who would rather spend a little more money for a better spec and quality product. I would not hesitate to do business with DSG on other things though as their customer service is top notch.

    I personally have had zero issues with DSG Arms, be it BCG's, barrels etc or any product I have purchased from them. This is the first barrel being mentioned as a DSG special product that I am aware of. All other barrels are direct from and advertised as other manufacturers and DSG is not just a supplier but a major wholesaler and GSA in the business. I have never seen or heard of them taking "seconds" from any manufacturer. Within the past couple of years I have been using the DSG branded line of products and am more than pleased. Just ordered 10 of their inner / outer belts this past week. Ordered late afternoon their time, $5 flat rate USPS. Showed up before lunch the next day. For those that know where I am located that is unheard of.

    In any case, I personally would not order one as I have numerous barrels and a few rails sitting right now and don't really care for keymod so much. But if you need a very good upper at a heck of a price, this IMO looks to be a heck of a good option. But if your barrel needs to be 4150 or MIL-B-11595E, well obviously this is not the set up for you, but that does not diminish the fact that it is a heck of a priced upper, for what you are purchasing.

    I will also note that I have zero affiliation with DSG Arms. Just a very long time satisfied customer.
    +1 on all of the above.

    FWIW, I believe the DSG uppers in question are produced/assembled for them by Seekins. Regardless, it is a great deal.

    I don't think it's fair to lump DSG in with Midway, et al. They don't sell any of that "crap" you mention.

    I had pre ordered mine and it came in on Black Friday. As Surf mentioned I too have never had an issue with DSG in the past with anything I have bought from them. I have been away from AR's for a bit, and now $$ isn't what it use to be and "for me" this was a very affordable way to slap an upper on my SBR'd lower that has been sitting here collecting dust. At some point in life, you need to asses what is "your reality", and my reality is that I will most likely never wear this barrel out, and if I have any issues with the upper I am 100% confident that DSG will stand behind a product they put their name on. I got the 10" upper in 300 blk and the features are great for the price, I just don't see how you could go wrong with the cost for what you get. Time will tell going forward how this works out but I took a chance on it. I plan to run it through it's paces, as I reload my ammo shooting 300 blk won't cost me much more if at all then shooting 5.56/2.23."For me" this move made sense. As soon as I can get some powder on hand and a set of irons I will start putting ammo down range with it. It fits my lower tight with minimal wobble, my lower was a stripped N4 that I bought and stuffed a Daniel Defense lower parts kit in. I have always tried to get the best components I could find, but for the price I just couldn't pass it up. Hopefully my gamble pays off, if it doesn't oh well I got a BCG and Stripped upper out of the deal.

    Just my practical $0.02




    I snapped a couple of pics of the bcg, all criticism is welcomed, I'm just trying to provide more info to those who might be interested in purchasing one, will try to get better pics with daylight tomorrow:

    Really? I guess you haven't looked through all of their stuff before then.

    While I haven't memorized the entire catalog of items available from DSG, I am pretty sure they don't sell any of the items you mentioned.
    If they do, by all means, please enlighten me. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
