[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Are Anderson Stripped Uppers GTG?

Posted: 11/27/2015 11:47:32 AM EDT

I'm planning a light weight upper build. I'd like to use a stripped upper with a port door but no forward assist and no brass deflector to keep the weight down.

Anderson makes one that sells for a low price. I just have never used any Anderson parts and don't know if they are any good.

Anderson parts are good to go. I have used them and their forgings are just as good as any others on the market.

Yes.
I love their nofa uppers!

Yes. Both their lowers and uppers are GTG. For some strange reason, every Anderson stripped upper I've bought from AIM did not have T-marks though. I actually prefer them without T-marks (as if it's hard to tell where things go? haha) so I consider that actually a bonus!

Yes, GTG. I just put together an Anderson lower and upper without FA or door but it has a deflector.

I just did a LW build with an Anderson "sport" upper (No FA or port door) that I got for $39. Assembled just fine and fits great on the $39 Anderson lower, weighed only 6.7 ozs.
