So after a couple of minutes of Google-fu, I came to the conclusion that the two have (potentially) slightly different gas operating systems. Allegedly an order may have been placed for a rifle kit which may or may not be a 16" heavy mid length kit. I can neither confirm nor deny anything.I just went to the site - they have 3 different blem rifle kits for $269. What's the difference between a 16" heavy carbine rifle kit and a 16" heavy mid length rifle kit? Seems to me they'd be the same thing.
Guys, get on their email list!!!!!!
I get a deal a week from them! Never had any issues with my Del-Tons!
Lastest deal is a 20" Govt Profile rifle kit, that I may get for the kit part alone! Comes with an A2 butt stock, spring and buffer. $322
Yeah if you don't have a pre 2013 upper may be an issue.
Received my mid-length heavy blem kit the other day, can’t find even the slightest hint of a scratch or defect on it..no idea why it was considered a blem but I’ll take it! Really happy with it for the price. May have to grab another if that deal pops up again.
Perhaps he meant pre 13, grandfathered Lower ?
