Just wondering what kind of luck people are having with various manufacturers of 7.62x39 and 6.5 G uppers.

Would like most a pistol-length PWS long stroke piston set up, but right now those are unobtanium in this market, so wondering what else is good out there, piston or DI?

Thanks!

Probably won't find any complete uppers right now.  Might even have to scrounge a bit to build your own.  But if you are looking for something 6.5 Grendel I would start here:

Interesting - unfortunately, they don’t seem to sell complete uppers, just the barrels, but that’s something.

Thanks!

If you can get a couple tools to build your own upper it opens up a lot more possibilities.  And Monster makes an very nice barrel especially for the money.

Yes, that’s a possibility, though I’m not sure I’d trust my own assembly skills...do you usually have to drill the barrel gas ports on these builds or are they pre-drilled for assembly?

Everything is pre-drilled and ready to go and gas port sizing is spot on.

I’d order a LaRue ultimate upper in 6.5 Grendel. You’ll probably wait a few months for it to show up but dollar for dollar nothing can touch it.
