Great upper all around, It was exactly what I was looking for. I put 200 rounds through it the next day after I got it and had zero problems.

I just got done going over this upper. It is assembled very well. Gas block is straight, no burrs, no dings, no scratches. This is why I just ordered another one :)

The AR market these day’s has exploded and with most companies running extremely long lead times on components. It can be very discouraging as a consumer. Searching the net I stumbled across DT. A company that I had found very little about, but the uppers looked great. The price was absolutely fantastic compared to most other companies out there. I placed my order expecting to wait the advertised 14-21 day’s which was right on par with everyone else. To my surprise it shipped within two day’s of the order being submitted. I received the upper and found the fit and finish to be of high quality. I couldn’t be happier with this entire experience. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer in the future.
Thx, DT Team
