I'm looking at getting a 10.5" upper for my pistol and I'm looking at a few options and wondering if I can get input on them.  I'm looking at two from PSA, one sold by Radical firearms and another from Hardened Arms.


PSA #1

PSA #2

Radical Firearms

Hardened Arms



UPDATE


Got here on Wednesday, but I was waiting for my Sig brace to come in today.  Andro Corp 10.5" upper on a Double Star lower, Sig Brace M4 model, and cheapo red dot sight.  Also added an ambi mag release and will be getting a ambi safety selector too.  I like Andro Corp's upper.  It replaces my Model 1 Sales 7.5" that was very top heavy.  Hope to shoot it next week.







For those that love to complain about how heavy a Sig brace is:

Magpul MOE stock:




Sig M4 brace:




If you can't handle the extra .02 lbs I guess I'm just more mannlier than you...

Take a look at industry partner Andro Corp.  They have some really really nice uppers.  May be a couple $$$ more but worth it and check out their Industry subsection they have a discount code for AR15.com members.

I looked at Andro corp's uppers and they're a bit more than I want to spend.  Would like to keep it no higher than $279-ish.  I like the Radical arms upper, but it's 8 weeks out for delivery.  The 1st PSA model is out of stock, I'm guessing they're around $279.

I've used an 8.5" Hardened Arms with a KAK tube, buffer and spring. It was very reliable and performed well.

I have both Palmetto State Armory and Radical Firearms uppers I have neen very happy. I find PSA to be slightly better quality.

+1 for Andro Corp 10.5" complete upper.  He sells them for $350 shipped.  He replies super fast and ships out quick too.  Here's his email:

Another vote for Andro Corp. best bang for your buck plus, A++++ customer service. There's a reason he has a following here, it's not hype, just damn good price/product/people.

I have a PSA upper that is 8.5 inches on my pistol build that is a Melonite one with a keymod forearm. I am very satisfied with how it. It operated flawlessly out of the box.

It is accurate and nicely finished.

PSA uppers go on their daily and weekend deals all the time.

Also the Andro Corp upper comes with BCG &CH the others do not.

I went ahead and bought the Andro Corp upper.  I took into consideration that PSA can take forever to ship.  I'll post pics when I get it.  Got it for $336 shipped.  I'll use my old BCG (new condt.) and charging handle

+1 for Andro Corp. Got a 10.5 QR over their Thordsen complete lower and very happy.
A little extra coin over others was well spent.

I don't see the uppers for $350 on his website. Is this a deal you can only get by emailing him?
