Anyone have any suggestions for "blem" slick side stripped uppers?  I have looked on just about every site I can think of.  I found Aero and Anderson both make them, but the Anderson does not have a provision for dust cover.  Trying to find a blem or raw, as it is going to be a custom cerakote job.

Not a slick side, but they are in the raw and billet.

Thanks for the link, but I really need a slick side, there will be a graphic going on the receiver, and the lack of an FA will really make the job easier.

You'll need to call Aero Precision.  They sometimes have a few but don't put them up on their website...

There arent many "blems" out there. Only a few people make them. I got a few Aero ones locally at a good price. Their online price is around $80 iirc.






aeroprecision, for all purposes, is mostly the same stuff as spikes. Especially with barrels, uppers, and lowers. The DPMS is a little thicker but is a true slick side with no brass deflector or door. The others are just missing the fwd assist.

Thanks for all the feedback, I appreciate it.

I am going to give Aero a call, I am fine with the brass deflector, just don't want the FA.

Rainier makes a nice one (forged -no FA has dust cover) as does V7 (forged-no dust cover) <---these both have case deflector hump

Cross Machine Tool Ultra Precision Upper Receiver Part# UPUR-3 Slick Side upper (see Rainier Arms)
but its heavier than the V7

Aero also Cerakotes uppers might want to ask about that while you're at it.

Anyone have any experience with Mas Defense?  Price is right, and it is suppose to be either Cerro or Anchor Harvey forging. http://www.shop.masdefense.com/AR15-A4-SLICK-SIDE-UPPER-RECEIVER-SSUPRR.htm

I have two of their barrels with no problems to report.  Actually, they're way better than I expected...

Well, I took a chance with the Mas Defense upper, and also ordered a barrel.  Let see how this goes.

I have the Spikes with the brass deflector and dust cover, no FA.  I like it.  I also have a couple of the DPMS slick side uppers and like them too.

Cross Machine and Tool also make a slick upper.

Well, parts came in extremely quick!  Cannot say that I am disappointed,  The upper is flawless, with no machine marks what so ever, and is Keyhole marked.  The barrel I bought is a 416R stainless fluted 18" 223 wylde chamber in 1/8 twist, and is just gorgeous.  I really think the daughter is going to love this thing!

Wow, that is cheap (price wise.)  I was going to mention DPMS makes a slick side upper without a shell deflector, but the going price would be twice that.

And at that price, they sold out fast.

2nd Amendment Arms makes an awesome LW upper called the Balios Light Weight or something like that.  Weighs less than the other non-FA uppers out there.

Thanks, I ordered two this morning.  Wonder what they will grow into.  I'm sure they will be cute.
