Quoted: still new to this and learning how to work the search thing and get the answers i want as im sure this have been covered. looking into a cheap complete upper for my budget build. i want good quality at a good price point would like a 1x9 twist as ill most likely be shoot 55-62 grain ammo. thanks! here are the ones ive looked at so far please add your suggestions del-ton 16' middy. psa 16' middy (if they ever get it in stock) dpms 16' middy as looked for a bcm 16" middy in 1x9 but most are 1x7 thanks i realize del-ton and dpms are looked down upon sometime just looking for your opinions ,thanks again I have 2 Del-ton uppers and 2 PSA uppers. 1 of each is set up for competition NRA highpower and I shoot middle of the pack with them, but I only shoot a few times a year. What I'm saying is if I got more practice, I know they are good enough to place me higher on the board. Del-tons don't suck, is what I'm saying and PSA's have done me right too. mY competition PSA is the Freedom line and its pretty good. Out of your list. BCM is the best quality and also the most money. Don't worry about the 1/7 vs. 1/9 issue. It wont matter at all, especially if you shoot under 300 yards. |

Any of those will serve you well. I have bought and built various ar15s. Pick the one that you like best and run with it. Trust me.

I have two kits. http://www.del-ton.com/Rifle_Kit_p/rkt102.htm this is my competition one with A2 sights. http://www.del-ton.com/Rifle_Kit_p/rkt104.htm I have since turned this one into a Dissy and added a KAC rifle rail. Both are Hbars |

Just take the LPK with it... You never know when you might need it. Or do you already have a complete lower. |

Check out http://www.jsesurplus.com.
They have quite a few complete uppers and their CS is fantastic. Ask around here. Don't think you will find anyone with complaints about them unlike a few other vendors. |

PSA has a bunch of Middy's in stock. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/barreled-upper-assemblies.html and with Delton you can customize every single order to your exact specs. There is a drop down menu so you can change stuff. |

Look for deals on a Spikes Tactical upper. They make perhaps the best cost to quality ratio uppers. Others will disagree, but I think you are very wise going with 1:9 twist. I have a Spikes upper with a CMMG 16" 1:9 carbine melonite barrel. It is true MOA with the right 55 grain match grade ammo. Spikes barrels are as good. Its getting harder to find 1:9 complete uppers. You might have to get a barrel separately. What a shame for those of us who prize accuracy for lighter bullets, and yes, it matters under 300 if you are seeking MOA. If you are satisfied with 2-3" groups at 100 yards, then 1:7 is ok for 55 grain bullets.

Or do you already have a complete lower. My Del-Ton dissy came with a rifle length gas system, and was HBAR profile out to the gas front sight block. I also recommend taking a look at JSE's site. Some items may show out of stock, but some items come in and out, and the site doesn't get updated fast enough. It's always good to call or email in that case. |
