Help with upper choice Please

[10 fan]

This will be my first build and after alot of reading here I decided on a DDM4V7LW.I found a DDM4V7 (not LW) 4 oz. difference. Has anyone shot both? Is it worth waiting or should I get the last part to my build. I haven't engraved or anodized my lower yet so I guess I am getting impatient. Thanks in advance

I built my friend a rifle using the v7 lightweight. Its good to go. The weight difference is neglible, but I know the lightweight one will get hotter faster.

If you can find a DD V7 upper in stock or for sale anywhere, you cannot go wrong with it. Top notch quality.

Personally I am not really a fan of light weight barrels, but there is nothing wrong with them.

What are you going to be doing with the rifle? Now, me, I'd go with the regular barrel and call it a day. If you want light all the way then go with the pencil barrel. I have not heard anything bad about those barrels but I heard..."HEARD" they don't last as long. Who knows really but what's the price difference also?

Thanks for the info. I just ordered from Midway,It's been there for 3 days.Thought it would be gone when I made up my mind. As always great help and tips on this site I milled 2 lowers at cncmillguy,now to engrave and anodize and start my first build.
