The other day I was doing what I do best in my spare time which is looking for new AR-15 accessories and AR-15 related products. I didn’t really have any luck finding anything but someone mentioned to me that I should check out a company called D S Arms. I was totally not familiar with them at all but decided I would check them out.
First thing I did was check out their website. I couldn’t believe the prices on their products. These definitely aren’t your BCM or Noveske rifle parts but every once in a while you’re trying to peace together another “Truck Rifle” and need some lower prices stuff. They didn’t seem to be cutting any short cuts in terms of features so my first thought was these have got to be some foreign junk or something. Then I see “Manufactured by DSA – All Parts U.S. Made!” so there goes that theory. I asked the guy who told me about them and he said he has used them for a long time and has never had any issues. Did a little searching online as well and pretty much all positives.
The only downside is their uppers don’t come with the BCG or Charging Handle but most of you guys have a spare set lying around anyways. Plus if you don’t this gives you the option of buying the BCG and CH you really want. Check out the pics below and the prices. Don’t forget to check out their website too. They have tons more stuff on there including more lowers and some great deals on complete lowers as well. Thought I would share the info with you. Let me know what you think!

DSA arms prices might look good but there customer service sucks. I was going to go with BCM 11 1/2 inch UPPER but because of this little add to support DSA arms quality i gave them a chance! Well i should have just paid extra money for the BCM upper they have quick service when they say there stuff is in stock they mean it and would have my upper in my hands by now., DSA if you dont mind the bullcrap oh it should be shipped out today and still

still waiting and maybe if i ever get my 11inch upper from DSA ARMS I can speak on the quality of their handy work but like i said they beat around the bush when it comes to quick services but again maybe thats why the prices are cheaper cause they our slow as a snail when it comes to processing a order and thats with stuff they say is in stock. BCM YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER ONE DAY WITH THEM THEY SHIP THE NEXT DAY!!!!

Customer service is terrible. They can’t furnish a ship date when contacted. Customer service is clueless. Been three weeks since I placed my order for an AR upper and I haven’t heard from them.
