[ARCHIVED THREAD] - NiB Upper Receiver W/O Forward Assist

Posted: 4/24/2017 6:27:13 PM EDT

Hey all,
I'm in the research phase of my first build and have decided that for the upper, I can do without the forward assist to save some weight. I'd also like it to be nickel boron coated to complement the FailZero BCG I intend to drop in it. Problem is, I've been searching for days and can't find this combination anywhere. Does anyone know of any uppers like this from a reputable source?

You are looking for an NB upper?

I have never seen one, others might have, but I haven't What you want and what you can get is often times two entirely different things!

I believe RTB's receivers are nickel teflon.

ETA: I just checked and RTB does have their own nickel Teflon receivers, but they also have WMD nickel boron uppers, but they are not slick side uppers.

Nice find! I've never heard of R Guns before but at $80 I might give it a try.
