Default Budget AR Uppers.... $299.99

On sale now. I have no knowledge of the company but for the price as long as it functions (which it would be hard not to) its a steal.

No idea who they are & they don't get into details about the upper/lower, who mkes it, what specs it's built to, the finish or anything, could be a fly by night company or a good one, just not enough information to make an informed decision....

If you dig around a little bit on their site. Its a hard black ano. mil spec. CNC 7075 upper bolt and carrier is black phosphated and all parts are MPI'd as per mil spec. They do have an actual store in california...just called a buddy of mine to make sure the store is actually there. Just ordered 1 myself.

Will be interesting to see how they hold up to a 1K plus day on the range...

What is the chamber, 223 or 5.56, how about chromed barrel or not, are the M4 cut out's done properly, what about the front sight block, size of gas tube diamater & hole in barrel. I have my doubts that they are quality, but we shall see....ya all know I'm a cynical old fart and have to be hit over the head with something mutiple times before I believe it..

Guess I'd rather get this one just cuz

It looks like it is a relatively new site, read the "about us" section , looks like a local shop that is expanding to the web for more sales..
