I'm trying to decide which vendor had a better reputation, ships the quickest, & has the best customer service. Also which uses better parts? I hate rails, so I'm looking for an old style upper. 10.5" barrel, front site, regular style front grips, etc. The choice is Palmetto State Armory part # 2012, or Model 1 Sales. Here's the link.
http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-10-5-hammer-forged-ar15-upper.html or https://www.model1sales.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=334 If I have to attach a carry handle, I can live with that, but I'd prefer the fixed handle. Remember, this is not about which style to get, but which company sells the better upper. Both sell the upper with a chrome lined barrel for $369. Of course if someone can suggest a better vendor for a similar product for the same price, please tell me. GARY |

My vote is on the PSA. Otherwise, see if you can't find an LMT 10.5 upper.
ATW! -Fox |

Of the two, PSA but not sure how I could actually recommend them based on two of your criteria being shipping and customer service. Andro Corp wins in both of those categories and has great products. Their 10.5 has a rail but I bet they could swap that for you.

My vote for Andro as well. If you don't see something you want, email him and ask. His response is super quick.
|

I already spoke to him on the phone, & he seems like a real nice guy. If I don't see something I like at the West Palm Beach Gun Show this weekend, I will be calling him next week. Since we are both in Florida, we know many of the same people. GARY

sounds like a done deal, but wanted to add my 2 cents to others who may be reading this, having just recived a pistol upper from psa, I went with psa due to my lower being a psa, in hopes they would match..... they did not, kind of a bummer, the 2-3 week wait after the order as usal is a pain, the upper and lower fit is worse than my m1a1 service rifle I had a a guard unit, its freeking loose, no problem I know the o-ring trick. this was not there HFB, it was this one http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-8-5-pl-melonite-300-aac-1-7-2a-keymod-upper-no-bcg-o.html of interest is that the barrel looks a lot like KAK's value line barrel, same profile, same markings with caliber and twist rate only, yet in a twist the kak value line does not come in.? I am good with that part I was looking at KAK value line barrels for this build anyway, yet had the wrong twist so I passed and went PSA. Future builds from now on will be with matched uppers and lowers, and with someone who can get things shipped a bit faster. Just sayin. |

Who'd have thunk, but I found the EXACT upper I wanted at the West Palm Beach gun show. Southern Guns had it for sale. Maybe he got it from Andro. A-2 upper receiver with fixed handle.With Andro it would have been a railed upper with removable handle which would have been OK, but not exactly what I wanted. The upper one in the link. Next time Jason. Tks. GARY

Range update on the 7.5
Shot it plenty on single fire with no issues. Went full auto today, 2 - 30 rd pmags and 2 pmag drums. 0 issues, all shot with the as sold upper and BCG. |

Our 7.5s are full auto brass eating BEASTS! Thanks for posting that

OK I'm intrigued..you guys win.
Jason, do you guys offer any ARF discounts on any 300blk uppers? |

I got my 308 upper from KAK Industries. Picked up the McClane. When KAK had a sale on the 12.5 inch barrel, I had KAK swap out the barrel from the 10.5 inch barrel the McClane came in. Works perfectly. I put it on a Areo lower. Works great. Kurt will make sure your happy.

Take a look at the "custom" uppers at JSEsurplus.com, they offer some Pistol(SBR) uppers with an A2 upper (fixed carry) for way less then a lot of places. JSE make some good uppers, Ive got 2.

Hi - when do you expect more of these instock?

Another vote of confidence for Andro Corp. Jason was super easy to deal with and shipped it a lot faster than I was expecting. I told him my next upper for whatever I decide to build next will be an Andro and I meant it. I have a Mega Arms lower for my pistol and the Andro upper fits it like a glove. Can't wait to go shoot it!
