Any suggestions on an upper for a DPMS GII AP4 LR16”

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on February 17, 2022

Determining compatibility between AR10 components is hard because there aren't as universal standards as AR15's. This Aero Precision M5 16in .308 CMV Complete Upper Receiver w/ ATLAS S-ONE Handguard will work with DPMS pattern rifles, so it should work but fitment can't necessarily be guranteed.

Q
James, member, from NY, United States, asked on January 08, 2021

Does this need to go to an FFL for NY State residents?

A
Answered by Brandon, member, from UT, United States, on February 12, 2021

That will be dependent on State, County, or even City laws and regulations, and it's nearly impossible for our Gear Experts to stay 100% up to date on them all across the country. You can either try to verify with local resources, or you can place an order for the upper receiver. If our Risk Management or Compliance Teams find an issue, they will reach out to you to make the necessary changes or cancel the order and issue a full refund.

Q
Smith7, guest, from CA, United States, asked on June 26, 2020

Can it chamber 7.62x51

A
Answered by Brandon, member, from UT, United States, on February 12, 2021

Yes - .308 WIN actually has a higher chamber pressure than 7.62x51, so rifles chambered in .308 can safely shoot 7.62x51.
