I'd like to start an M4 build soon, but if I'm going to do it I want it done right, I will not compromise, the trouble is most "M4" uppers on the market are not correct, and I know of only 2 that are, BCM and LMT, are there any others?  I need the WHOLE list checked off, not just most of it, I want ALL of it.  I like BCM and LMT but them having the parts actually in stock is often an issue, as is often the price, so who else, if anyone, is there?

Also I want a 14.5 inch NOT a 16 inch.

UPDATE: I was right, just like last time it was in stock right up until the moment I cashed my check, now it's out of stock.  This is why I made this thread.

I should perhaps clarify that.  It must be a company that will actually sell an upper by itself.

Last I checked FN does not sell AR's, or uppers on the civilian market.

Colt sells complete rifles, but not uppers, uppers can be had on the secondary market, but only at a jacked up price, and only with 16 inch barrels.  Their complete rifles also only have 16 inch barrels and the lowers are not AT ALL correct, they have shaved down selector stops and oversized fire control group pins, not to mention having to much metal at the back (I want a low shelf).

I'll stand corrected then, but they still mill the selector stops off, at least according to the pictures I just looked up.  Why can't they just make a normal lower like everyone else?

I would like the BCM, and I agree their prices are not that bad, but they are almost NEVER in stock so if I want one I would have to track one down on the secondary market and pay a scalpers price.  They have some NOW, but will they when I'm ready to order in a few weeks?

Look on gunbroker for a Colt upper. Comparable in price to BCM.

I wouldn't consider LMT a correct M4 upper, they deviate too much such as not parkerizing under the FSB and not using taper pins for the FSB. but then again I'm nitpicky

What I would recommend is to buy an upper receiver with the M4 feed ramps, buy a 14.5" M4 profile barrel assembly, a side sling swivel, a good quality M16 BCG, and slap it on the lower of your choice. I built an basic M4 clone about two years and did so for around $600. It even has a Colt barrel. It does not have a fancy name on it, but it is rock solid and dependable. Having patience and shopping wisely can have stellar results.






BTW, CMMG also offer a 14.5" M4 type upper assembly.

CMMG Mk4

Colt does sell complete 6921 uppers, part number is 6921CK. That's about as 'real M4' as your can get.

They are available from a number of vendors, I've seen recently in $6-700 range.

SAW is expensive on everything.

I have an LMT 14.5 "M4" upper that has been VERY reliable.

It's hard to find a good M4 clone (as in, not a tarded 16" barrel).  Colt and LMT are your best bet.






I recently found an old Del Ton 14.7 clone upper from a special run.  Can't beat a $400 price tag.

If you want a correct M4 upper, buy a Colt of build it yourself. FN parts are available on the EE. IMHO, an M4 upper with the letters B-C-M bukkaked all over it isn't correct.

I went with a BCM upper and barrel. The thing that appealed me about the BCM bare upper is that it doesn't have a logo except near the entry to the gas port which is invisible once you put your handguard on.. The only thing I didn't like is that they didn't sell a stripped upper and I wanted to install a teardrop forward assist, so I had to knock out the old one and put in the one I wanted.

You'll have to get the 14.5 pinned unless you plan to go the NFA route. BCM sells uppers in 14.5 (pinned) and they are in stock right now. You can get the complete upper with bolt and handguard.

It's the alternatives I'm looking for.  That's because this all happened before, I was ready to buy the very same upper from BCM, and right before I had the cash available they went out of stock and were not in for months, and by that time I had already spent the money on something else I wanted, hence this thread.  I want a standby.

So you want cheap, quality, fast? There's a saying about that. Pick two of the three criteria.

 



If you have a low budget, you will have to settle. A clone means COLT only. You won't find a 6921 barrel or upper for cheap. You could always get a 6920 and have the barrel cut when you have more cash.




But seriously, clones aren't cheap. So maybe adjust your expectations.

Or build it yourself.  That's what I did.  I can't remember whose upper receiver I used, but I put a DD 14.5" barrel on it, A2 flash hider, GI charging handle, full-profile BCG, and a KAC M4 RAS.  I use my Aimpoint PRO on it.

If you "need" your upper to be "correct," then doing it yourself will get you the "correct" you're looking for.

You need to define what you mean by 100% correct.   Are you looking for an upper that has the hp/mpi testing on barrel and bcg?  Are you looking for a 4150 chrome lined 1x7 carbine gas 14.5  barrel.  Food for thought even if you buy a bcm upper it isn't going to be a 100% clone.  Unless you have a sbr the muzzle device isn't going to be the same and it will be pin and welded.

CMMG offers an m4 clone with a 4150 chrome lined barrel and extended a2.   Spike's used to but i'm to lazy to google it before my 2nd cup of coffee to see if they still do.

I'll say it again your google-fu is weak.

I just build my own with correct Colt, FN, LMT, or BCM parts. I think the only complete M4 I bought was a LMT, and I traded that away at the height of the panic for a Colt .45 Officer ACP. Looking back, that was a fantastic trade As others have said, I am not a fan of BCM's laser etched logo on their uppers. I built my Block II clone using all BCM parts, to include a BCM 14.5" SOCOM barrel and BCM demo upper. The best part of that deal was it didn't have the BCM laser marking on the side.

In my garage I have a brand new Colt 14.5" SOCOM barrel I scored off the EE for $240 USD,  and a smoking deal I got off Gunbroker from a reputable member for a Colt M4 upper, BCG, and charging handle for $357 USD. I had a Cot gas tube  and roll pin I bought at Brownells last year, so my new 1.5 PR upper build cost me $597 USD. The deals are there; you just got find them.

LMT barrels > BCMs.

I know it's not socom but I'd take it over either. That being said, if your heart is set on a socom barrel I would stick with colt and just build my own upper. If you don't have the tools, collect the parts yourself and take them to a shop or find a member here who will help you out locally.

Is there any objection to building your own M4 upper? 14.5" M4 profile barrels are plentiful as are the upper receivers with M4 feedramps.

Here is a Colt 14.5" SOCOM barrel from Brownells.

Well, I just got paid, and I went straight back to Bravo Companies website, and the upper I wanted (M4 SOCOM) just went out of stock.  Just like last time.  This is why I made this thread.

Learn save your money, like an adult. Getting pissy because of your inability to save and buy doesnt make you look good.

Here's some advice for your next thread since this is the first time you've mentioned a socom profile barrel:
Next time you want help, be specific.
Make a list of the actual parts you want, that way we don't have to guess WTF you're thinking.
Research a little before starting a thread. This will get you far in life.

I should perhaps clarify that.  It must be a company that will actually sell an upper by itself.

Last I checked FN does not sell AR's, or uppers on the civilian market.

Colt sells complete rifles, but not uppers, uppers can be had on the secondary market, but only at a jacked up price, and only with 16 inch barrels.  Their complete rifles also only have 16 inch barrels and the lowers are not AT ALL correct, they have shaved down selector stops and oversized fire control group pins, not to mention having to much metal at the back (I want a low shelf).

And if it is out of stock at BCM. buy one from one of the other dealers on this site. I think ratworx sells colt uppers.

You can also get what you need from the EE so not sure what the issue is.

Yes, I don't have the tools.  I can build my own lower,but the upper is beyond my abilities.
