I was a little dicey on the RGuns M4 upper I got yesterday from AIM because it was about as cheap and basic an upper as I've ever bought, but at $429, I'm not sure even if all the parts were easily obtained I could get something put together that cheap. . .

Upper $75
Charging handle $15
BCG $130
Barrel $120
Front sight block $20
Gas tube $10
Flash Supressor $10
Crappy handguards, delta ring and cap $30

That's over $400. . .

These are all about as cheap as I've seen "cheap" parts anytime recently and if I bought them all separately and paid shipping a few times It'd be well over $429. . .

I'm pretty happy with AIM and RGuns not marking these things up huge right now.  They could have easily gotten $479 instead of $429.


When did you first put in your order? I'm just past 4 weeks on my order right now..... Getting antsy.

Hopefully your order will be shipping out of Aim's Stock and not Rguns. I've had good experiences with AIM. I ordered Directly from Rguns so I'm waiting not-so patiently.

Received a gas block today from AIM that I ordered on the 15th.  So, 11 days total from order to mail box.  They will probably use UPS or FedEx for the upper's, so it should be a little quicker.....but hopefully this gives you guys that ordered the Rguns upper an idea of lead time and ship time.

What type of uppers did you order if you don't mind my asking? A couple weeks is awesome in the current climate, but everything on their site is listed as out of stock, so it seems impossible to figure what might ship first

For anyone in DFW, Model1 has their usual display of uppers and the prices aren't terrible.  Got my 300 blackout upper complete, used cc, plus tax, out the door for $680.  They won't sell any BCGs on display, have to buy an upper to get it.

Is this the same for their online store? I was worried about ordering an upper from them since all their BCGs are out of stock.

It's shipping from CMMG. You'll be lucky to get it in 6 months.


The upper I ordered from CMMG on January 5th shipped Friday. They didn't give me a lead time estimate when I ordered it but I figured it would be a while. Surprised the hell out of me! I wasn't expecting the thing for months, March or April at the earliest.

Their dirtbags plain and simple. I had an order for 3 BCG's and they backordered it. That same weekend their selling BCG's at Gun Shows for double the price. Buyer beware.

I got a SpecOps Weaponry upper from Aim the other day and it shipped two days later.  I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of shipping.  Website said it could take 10-14 days to ship.

I ended up buying one, I guess I was just lucky that I was at the PC when it popped up. This will be my 2nd upper receiver that I ordered from them, I hesitated because their shipping times aren't very good .I am still waiting on a LPK that i ordered more than 2 weeks ago.

LOL, all they did was remove the "Holiday Special BS" and "3 day shipping time" associated with the ad. I almost pulled the trigger when I saw 3 day shipping (since I'm impatient), but now I'm glad I didn't!

I will have 2 uppers now and I be getting one to build soon.

Also 2 BCGs with 2 on order. :)

My credit card company loves me I am sure of that.
