Upper receiver options for LR-308 & DD lite rail?

[BSWilson]

Hello all,

I just recently picked up one of the Bushmaster .308s that I believe to be made by DPMS. I compared it to an older DPMS "A3" upper and can tell that it's of the newer style that has an approximately .060" lower top rail.

As I wish to use this with a Daniel Defense Lite rail, I would imagine that I should swap out the upper to a manufacturer that's going by the old spec if I wish the receiver and handguard to align.

Of that, the only company I'm aware of that will sell upper receivers individually is Fulton-Armory. Is anyone aware of any others, much less in the neighborhood of $160?

Thanks in advance...

Look at SI Defense Industries in Montana. I have built an upper using a Black Hole barrel and a Daniels Defense 12.0 Rail. It matches up perfectly and works nicely with the JP Enterprises adjustable gas block. The SI Defense is a great upper even though it's a little more pricey
