    Looks like a DPMS version of the M&P15 Sport idea.
    'This upper does NOT include or have provision for a forward assist, shell deflector, or dust cover.'

      It is also made by dpms, which presents its own set of problems

        This upper is a piece of shit. I've seen one in person and it didn't even function, gas block was misaligned.

        Save yourself $40 and buy a DSA ZM4 upper and get a forward assist and proper rifle.

          You like the DSA's? I tried to get their 11.5" complete upper for $275.00 last October, they kept BSing me and telling me "3 weeks", "next month", "we'll email you when they come in"

          Still haven't heard anything...I would have liked to try one out.

            Yeah they sell a lot of them, their wait periods can be long, check before you order. Yes, all of the uppers I've ordered from them are perfectly fine. Alex has one as well.

              Damn I might just have to get their cheap 300 BLK upper and get the barrel shortened instead of building one myself

                That's probably a really good idea honestly. Only problem is it's probably not a pistol length gas block location and it wouldn't cycle in a shorter barrel.

                    well on an 8" you could cut off the barrel at the gas block location and drill a new one.

                        I bought this, it is a piece of shit. No forward assist, and the gas block was installed wrong, would not cycle etc. etc. Avoid if possible and follow advice shown.

                            Why do you need a forward assist anyway?

                              jams? broken case extractors? I can remember many times that a forward assist has come in handy.
