    Default Who made my upper?

    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
