Looking for feedback on any up and coming companies that i should consider for my build? Looking at Bravo and Spikes but am willing to consider any quality new companies out there.

I always suggest billet uppers to people. I would go with Cross machine Tool. I have their UPUR-2 upper. Since I'm a leftie, not having that forward assist helps a lot. They have 4 options for uppers.

I think it mostly comes down to wanting forged or billet. As far a forged if say just get a Anderson upper. Why pay more for a name like BCM, when all forged parts are basically the same.  With billet you can at least get something with most design/character to it.

Stripped or complete upper?

If I had the extra money to spend I'd get matched V7 light weight upper-lower and Ti BCG
