    My digital camera took a dump and our current cell phones have crappy cameras so bare with me on the pics, especially of the feed ramps. If I can borrow a Digital camera soon or whenever the new phones come in will try for better pics.

    BCG taken down:



    Staking on gas key (not horrible but not the best IMO):



    Feed ramps (shitty picture I know but hard to get good angle with phone):



    Hope this helps anybody out on the fence about this upper. I still need a few parts before I can get out to shoot but will report back when I can get to the range.

    Actually I am not going to bother. People can buy what they want and figure it our for themselves.

    ETA- These are the barrels specifically that were purchased by the guys in the class. As you can see they are sold by DSG which is where they were purchased from.

    If they do, by all means, please enlighten me. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

    I guess our minds should be blown at the proof youve just posted, showing that the dsgarms uppers, which are assembled by seekens are sub-par. ::sarcasm::

    Wow, really?

    Let's lower the temperatures, shall we?

    Snackgunner, you can dial it down. It's possible to have a polite conversation here at M4C.

    I think you have been warned already, so tread lightly or you'll be taking a vacation soon if you haven't earned one already.

    The guy you are running your suck to is considered one of the most knowledgeable AR smiths / builders around and has a stellar reputation in the industry. Oh, and he is also a moderator here too....

    Wow, really? What's amazing is that you seem to have a hard on for this thread instead of reading the entire post.

    Not sure how many other ways I can spell it out. I clearly said that I have purchased items from DSG Arms in the past. I also clearly stated that my comment was addressed towards the claim made by JLBourne that DSG Arms isn't known for being associated with crappy stuff.

    I then made it very clear that there were barrels purchased from DSG in my class that were out of spec. I then linked to the barrels in question.

    I think that's pretty clear.

    So the out of spec barrels you saw and linked to on DSG were Voodoo branded. That's actually great to know, thanks. Back on original topic, those $400 DSG marked, Seekins assembled uppers look like a great deal. YMMV.

    Gunz, any other issues with those 3 barrels other than undersized ports and no dimples for set screw GBs?
    I believe Voodoo barrels in general are marketed to the 3Gun crowd, folks who tend to run low mass carriers so small ports are what they want, otherwise they need to purchase an adjstable gas block. They also often use a clamp on GB, so dimples are not a benefit. Not saying any of this is superior to the more common gas port sizes and GB mounting practice, just pointing out a possible explanantion as to why the ports and GB journals are the way they are.
    Would like to hear about any other issues these barrels presented in the class.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes you made it very clear. You are trying to imply, in a thread about DSG uppers which are assembled by seekins, are sub par, just because some barrels (voodoo) were purchased from on dsgs website and went tits up in one of your classes. Again these voodoo barrels have nothing to do with the quality of the DSG uppers.

    But you keep on slandering a good company by saying they "sell crap" if that's your agenda.

    Hey snackgunner,

    FWIW & FYI: I didn't read that into Iraqgunz reply at all.... Plus, I feel he has more then fairly tried to explain this acouple times now.
    I don't know him or you but I have to say, You sure do seem to have a hard ON to argue this to Death...?

    I hope you can just drop it and I would be more then surprised if Iraqguns even replies to you about this anymore...


    Peace Jeff
