Well, sort of. The most important difference is pitch.

The DPMS (top) has negative pitch and the Tapco (bottom) has positive pitch. I don't know what the designer was thinking when they were created, but they represent different philosophies.

The DPMS is more comfortable for a shooter with an aggressive, forward leaning style. It is much better suited to someone shooting prone. The Tapco is better suited to a more upright stance and quick movement.

The Tapco is the most common pitch in the AR world. The DPMS is unique and rarely seen. Is one better? That depends on the shooting style of the shooter.
