DPMS 16″ A2-profile upper pairs a 5.56 NATO barrel (1:7 twist phosphate finish) with a DPMS 13.5″ lightweight M-LOK free-float rail and .750″ low-profile gas block for a rugged hunt- and duty-ready platform. The forged 7075-T6 A3 flat-top upper is hardcoat anodized and features M4 feedramps—machined in the USA for durability and consistent fitment. Mil-spec internals include a shot-peened Carpenter 158® bolt 8620 carrier staked gas key and included charging handle giving dealers a reliable drop-in quality product customers trust. With broad accessory compatibility (M-LOK M4 extension/feedramps) and proven materials it’s an easy-to-stock high-turn option for retailers targeting performance-minded shooters.
