Email or call Larue
Odds are your barrel is already cut for extended feed ramps post a picture of the barrel extension (The part that goes into the receiver.) if the feed ramp cuts noticeably extend over the edge then its cut for for a feed ramp receiver. Most newer barrels are cut for feedramps. |

Most newer barrels are cut for feedramps. I don't think it is cut like that. Larue has the standard and the M4 feed ramps. I have the standard. Maybe it is best to just save a bit more and order direct from Larue. |

I have a standard stealth 16 inch barrel from Larue. Is it correct that I need an upper receiver without m4 feed ramps? Where can I find this receiver? I am starting to wonder if I am out of my element here and maybe I should just trade it off. I know nothing of building uppers. Per Larue, if you have standard you need rifle receiver and if you have m4 use m4 receiver. They have a picture about it on the website showing correct and incorrect setup on the page to buy the Stealth barrel. EDIT: I can't post pick but if you Google "Larue stealth barrel" it will show their site with stealth 556, take the link and scroll down. |

Rule of thumb:
Rifle upper=rifle or m4 ramped bbl extension M4 upper= m4 ramped extension only Determine which cuts your bbl extension has. As stated above, there is a pic on the Larue site. I have one setup rifle upper/M4 cut bbl and it shoots like a dream. No worries. |

You are correct, you don't want an upper with M4 cuts. LaRue is the only one I'm aware of the makes them, but there are surely others. A lot of A1 and A2 uppers on the EE don't have M4 cuts, if you want to go that route. |

I saw some on the EE awhile back and wondered where else to find them. |

Glad you found what you wanted. Since it is a Larue barrel I am trying to decide if I should just order a gas block from them |

I'd use the SLR that's $35. No need to pay twice as much for a gas block. I used a plain steel low profile gas block I paid $18.95 for on the latest upper I built last weekend and it works great.
