Loki upper dilemma.

Posted this on the upper interest thread but no luck so maybe it will have better luck here. Trying to determine which loki upper to get.



Ok, WTH is the difference between the DMR upper and the 3G upper? The DMR and the 3G seems like pretty much the same thing only the 3G is cheaper.

I mean you can get the 3G with the loki XL handguard for $660 but the DMR is $790 with the same handguard. Also, the 3G comes with a corvette comp while the DMR comes with an A2 flash hider. Am I missing something? Is there some good reason why the DMR costs $130 more?

I know the DMR comes with the 20" barrel and it says that an 18" is optional but does a 20" barrel really cost $130 more than an 18"?

I would say go with the 3G upper and get the low mass upgrade.

Does one have a BCG and one not? That barrel cost shouldn't be that different.

Neither one comes with a BCG for the price listed. IDK why there is such a difference in price.

The only thing I can think of is that the 3G price is more of an "introductory price" since it's new to market. Their whole line of uppers have gone through price increases to reflect consumer demand, price hikes in components and stabilization of prices now that their a bit more established and not relying on rock bottom prices to get people to notice them. I bet money that by the end of the year, the 3G rifle will probably increase in price and may even be equal to the DMR if not more.
