DPMS upper on Armalite Lower????? was created by gatorfan605
I just aqcuired an Eagle arms by Armalite A2 AR-10...i was wondering if DPMS parts would interchange with the Armalite...Specifically a stripped flat-top upper. I was curious if they would match up, and if the Armalite parts would also work.

Sup buddy i am regrettably here to tell you short and sweet NO this will not work as eagle is armalite and there FAQ page reads as follows: GT-3. QUESTION: Can a DPMS/POF/KAC/RRA upper be put on an ArmaLite lower receiver?

ANSWER: You can install Colt or high quality components made to military standards to ArmaLite M15 lower receivers, but ArmaLite doesn’t recommend it. We recommend that you use ArmaLite upper receivers for optimal fit, matching to the deep black color of your ArmaLite receiver, and the basic knowledge that your rifle isn’t totally mixed up.

This is the part that concerns you man---> No other brand of upper receiver fits the ArmaLite AR-10 family of rifles.

Sorry to bring you the bad news but for what it is worth you can use Armalit and Noveske.

You wouldn't put a lawnmower engine in your Formula 1 car would you?

Being that ArmaLite builds their rifles to higher standards you think other manufacturers would heed the call to build higher quality rifle components that would fit.

The good news is you can't go wrong getting genuine ArmaLite uppers or tuned uppers from Noveske
