Anyone know....is damage GTG? IF those aren't blems that's not too bad a price I suppose. Then again, there's only 19 posts from this OP so that makes me question.

I've ordered from them in the past. GTG in my opinion. They have clearance/blowout type deals fairly often.
Edit: I ordered two last night when I saw it on a Facebook feed. CHRIS |

I got one, it looks just like the pictures they show. I don't see any obvious defect.
They took a week week before they shipped it, and charged $12.30 to ship it. |

Yep, I'm a newb to the forum, but I've been lurking for years and years. I have no affiliation to any business, I'm just a gun nut that recently decided to get back into AR's after ending my 15 year love affair with tupperware. If I think something is a pretty good deal, I'm gonna let people know. Unless it's 22lr ammo, you're on your own for that!

It's a decent deal, with shipping it's about $50. Other recent deals on uppers have been similar.
here's mine, top one

It is, but nothing wrong with that. The bottom one is from a more "boutique" brand and is smoother and more glossy. The flat finish seems more military to me. I just got an email that says they reduced the shipping on these to $7 for up to 3 |

I bought one about a month ago for 38, used it on a build, nothing wrong with them at all. They are stamped M4 above the gas tube opening just like my uppers on my M&P's. I also like their QDF end plates, when on sale, they are 10 bucks for black magnate or 6 bucks for the standard steel.

I ordered 2 last month. They're GTG. I've ordered from them several times, especially when they have sales.

I did not order an upper but my order had 4 buffer tubes, 2 buffer springs, 2 castle nuts and a sight adjustment tool. It shipped the next day and shipping was $7. I have placed three orders and shipping has never been over $10. The $10 order had at least 15lbs of stuff in the package. All orders shipped USPS. |

My Spikes coated tubes feel smoother/ slicker. For the $15-17 that these seem to go on sale for a few times a year, it's a great deal. The quality of the Damage tube compared to the Spikes look equal. I have a BCM and Vltor tube coming in next week. I wanted to see how some of these lower cost options such as Damage and PSA 7075 tubes compared to the "higher" end tubes that run 2-3 times higher in cost. |

I did the same two years ago, the Damage Ind was actually nicer and fit better with my Vltor stocks than the BCM. Paid $35 for the full set on the DI and $65 for the BCM, |

It's been my understanding that all the various AR15 companies pretty much get their parts from the same handful of suppliers. Whether it be upper receivers, buffer tubs, LPKs ect. Just a matter of what banner one pulls their wallet for. Keep us posted please. |

For lowers- http://www.lwschneider.com/lower.html I was reading in another thread that L.W. Schneider makes Palmetto State Armory's lower receivers. That's pretty cool to know that such a local company sends parts so far and wide. |

There's also PSA lowers marked AP for Aero Precision, and others marked SC for lowers made by FN. |
