Hi,

My heavy barrel flat top upper, 24" stainless has no mfg markings that I can find, but does have "2" on the bottom and what is either a star or a bat as my son would describe it. It's somewhat of a "M" over a "W", but not letters and looks like it might be a logo of some sort.

I was told it's a DPMS, but now not so sure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

a photo would help. The DPMS rifles I've looked at over the years were primarily Cerro Forge A3 uppers. I'm not aware that DPMS has a Forge operation. Could the "M W" be DPMS's assembly marks?

Here are the only marks I'm familiar with:

Forging marks/makers.

A (splintered) = Anchor Harvey Aluminum
AF = Alcoa Forge
C AF = Colt Alco Forge
C MB = Colt / Mueller Brass
Cardinal (stylized) = Cardinal Forge
CH = Colt Harvey Aluminum
CK = Colt / Kaiser Aluminum
Circle/Crooshairs w/"AR" = ArmaLite
CM = Colt / Martin Marietta
D (stylized) = Diemaco
DK = Diemaco / Kaiser Aluminum
E = Emco
EK = EMCO/Kaiser
E MB = EMCO/Mueller Brass
F keyhole = FNMI / Cerro Forge
FA = FNMI / Anchor Harvey
FK = FNMI / Kaiser Aluminum
FM = FN/Martin Marietta
FMB = FNMI / Mueller Brass
Keyhole = Cerro Forge
L = Lewis Machine & Tool
LK = LAR / Kaiser Aluminum
LM = LAR / Martin Marietta
M (under diamond) = Mueller Industries
PA = Capco / Anchor Harvey
PM = Capco / Martin Marietta
