Geisseles Super Duty 16 inch upper has the proper M4 feed ramps and the barrel extension shoulder is correctly machined. DDC anodize matches their handguards and BCG. Wider thru-hole at the gas port for higher pressure setups. Worth the cost for a do-it-all upper.
Geissele Super Duty 16 inch in DDC color is the finishing touch on a high end build. The receiver to lower fit is tight as expected from Geissele. M4 feed ramps are correct. Heavier than a basic forged upper from the reinforcement around the takedown pin lugs.
Geissele Super Duty 16 inch upper in DDC is the high end of the spectrum, you do pay for it. Forging is clean, M4 feed ramps cut correctly. Honestly a basic forged upper does similar work for less if you dont need the DDC color.
anodizing is clean and even
fit and finish is excellent
Geissele Super Duty 16 inch upper in DDC is better than I expected at this price point. Forging is clean with reinforced takedown pin lugs. M4 feed ramps are correct. DDC anodize matches their handguards. Recommend for any serious build.
Geissele Super Duty 16 inch upper in DDC drops onto a quality lower with no fitting. Took about a minute to mate with takedown pins. Forging is reinforced around the pin lugs. M4 feed ramps cut correctly. Premium upper for a premium build.
