Hey y'all. I sent off a couple of Form 1's last July. Knowing that it would be quite a while before they came back approved, I pretty much forgot about them. Well, I didn't "forget" about them, but I sure wasn't worried about building them out into anything. They just came back approved, so now's the time to start picking components. I've been looking around at completed uppers and I'm having a hard time picking and choosing what I want. The Textbook answer is: "Send a check off to Noveske or Daniel Defense and be happy." I'm not sure I want to spend $1,200 to $1,500 per for a couple rifles that I'm not even going to be able to shoot all that often.
All my AR's are ones I've put together. One has a 16" RRA upper (bought a full decade before this current dust-up), with a 16" Wylde barrel. Another has a 16" PSA "Freedom" upper, and I have a pistol I put together with an 11.5" PSA upper. To be perfectly honest, I'm happy with all three. I'd like to build these two SBR's into nice, solid shooters. Nothing fancy, just good, dependable tools.
Who makes middle-of-the-road uppers that give decent performance, for a decent price?
