AR15 IMPROVEMENT.
Excellent! Easy fit and fast delivery. Looks and works perfect. Used on older S&W MP15 without bolt assist and ejection door.

Awesome Deal
Well worth the price. I will buy again. Great way to put together a basic AR platform. I recommend this upper to anyone who is interested in AR’s.

Decent upper for the price.
I have owned a few other Del Ton uppers in the past. I use em on my more costly AR's like my Colts, Rugers, Adams, Sig 516, LWRC IC's or HK MR lowers etc to shoot cheap ammo, steel ammo or use .22 conversion kits in em. As I sure don't want to use my $2000+ piston uppers or my even more expensive match or even my SBR uppers to fire dirty cheap .22 ammo or Bi metal bullets like Wolf, Bear or Tula or any steel cased ammo etc. For the record I don't believe in the old wives tale of steel cased ammo as I shoot em thousands of rounds in my Krebs and Arsenal AK's, SCAR's, ACR , ARX, AUG's, MDR. BREN's and Tavor's etc etc etc and never had any problems. I mainly like to shoot a lot of .22 ammo as their cheap ATM and since only AR's have .22 conversion kits its why I buy these uppers so its not really a dislike of steel cased ammo as I shoot a ton of them as well with all my rifles and pistols. Its just Wolf or steel cased ammo in general etc is dirty as well and I am fairly lazy in cleaning my guns ; ) Been a collector and shooter for 35+yrs and Del Ton for sure is on the budget end of AR's. BUT they work reliably well and AR parts are easily replaceable so I would recommend them for those who want to do what I do EG: use them to shoot cheap ammo and or as a .22 conversion upper etc. Or for an inexpensive AR build if you are on a budget and want to build or mod an AR for the least amount of money you can't go wrong with Del Ton this particular upper has an unlined barrel but so does the upper end HK MR556 and 762 barrels they are both unlined as well , it was done so says HK for accuracy etc. But like for most AR's you can easily switch out the barrel for a better one etc. The BCG is decent but if you are using if or a defense gun I would use the best parts you can afford imo this upper "stock" is for range use or home defense but not really a go to war type upper not stock anyway. I recommend this upper you get a lot for the price compared to similar priced uppers.

My son loves it!
Purchased this upper for my son. He wanted to build his own AR. This was the one he wanted! Everything works just right! Easy installation. No problems.

Excellent.
After purchasing two uppers from a popular S.C. company named after their state tree (and returning them both for refunds due to QC issues), I decided to roll the dice on this Del-Ton. Very happy I did. Fits snugly on my Anderson lower and matches the finish well. Quality bolt carrier with properly staked gas key. It doesn't say in the description but this comes with a semi-auto bolt carrier. That's fine for my purposes. Overall an excellent upper for the money.

Perfect fit and finish. F
Perfect fit and finish. Full heavy 16 inch barrel. Has some heft. But that's what I wanted. Fit and finish are perfect. Love the mid length, more hand guard area. No frills, no fuss, no add ons, except a bayonet. Just a great little shooter. Ordered on 9/15 delivered on 9/18. Del-Ton had a 3-4 week lead time. Gotta love Cheaper Than Dirt! Kudos

Delton delivers quality a
Delton delivers quality at a reasonable price. Rifle goes bang when the trigger breaks and the bullet hits where the sights are aimed. What more can shooter ask for? CTD delivers quickly (4 days from TX to ID), I'd do it all over again!

This is my first AR and it works just fine. It came with the bolt carrier group and was an easy fit just push in the two take down pins and it was ready to go. Have taken it out to the range several times now and when the trigger is pulled it goes bang.
