Thanks for the heads up; I have been looking for a C& for months. I got a shipping confirmation this afternoon. I am fired up to get this upper. I have been trying to make a KISS truck gun with a 16" Middy, A1 stock, and C7 upper for quite some time. I have everything but the upper.

Thanks for the heads up, OP. I have one scheduled to arrive tomorrow. It’s the last piece I need to finish a rifle. I just hope it doesn’t have M4 feed ramps. Even if it does, though, I’ll just use it as an excuse to start another project!

Mine arrived today. Finish looks good, sight channel looks even, no M4 feed ramps, aperture spring is a little stiff, forward assist cap is properly pinned on (not just pressed), and it dropped onto an Aero lower just fine.

Hi all,
New to retro, so go easy on me. I ordered one of these c7 uppers from Rguns, and I see a few comments regarding feed ramps. If this upper does not have feed ramps, should I stick with a specific barrel? I believe I saw a go/no-go visual that said m4 feed ramps with no receiver ramps are good to go? Going for a 10.5 Gordon/Blood Diamond'ish build w/o the OPSINC/Allen AEM suppressor. Just going to run my Saker. If this isn't the right crowd for 'ish builds, I apologize. Thanks, Willy |

Thanks, Willy The only combo that won't work is M4 feed ramp upper receivers with rifle feed ramp barrels. So yes, gtg. The Canadian rifles sorted out feeding issues by adjusting the buffer weight rather than adding feed ramps, you may have to do the same with your build, especially for a barrel that short. |

Appreciate this heads up. I'm actually looking for the M4 feed ramps but since C7 style uppers seem to be out of stock everywhere else I look I might pounce on this one. I want to scratch the itch to build a 723 ish rifle. Since I impulse pre ordered myself one of those PSA Lets Go Brandon lowers
I had to  Then it dawned on me it would be a crime to just leave it as a paperweight so I said to myself !@#$, guess I'm building up something else  In the spirit of raiding my spare parts box I practically have almost everything I need including a 14.7 pinned M4gery barrel assembly already. A 723 style carbine would be perfect. I just know my OCD though. I hate the look of an M4 extension on a non ramped upper. |

Picked one of these up. Ordered and received it within 24 hours. I don’t know much about C7/A1 stuff, but my ocular assessment of quality seems fine. The carry handle channel is centered.
I will say, while it’s not loose, the mount doesn’t fit as snug in the channel as it does on a colt and bushmaster A2 I have. Those needed some gentle mallet taps to seat it. If need be I can shim it. This will eventually be used on a Gordon carbine when the can clears.  Attached File |

Just a heads up, got mine in today and its noticably uneven for the sight channel, and the dust cover spring is out of spec of something and isn't long enough on the short end to keep it from flipping and keeping tension on the cover.

I emailed for a replacement, and they just said they would do a full refund. Not sure if I should suck it up, refund and try my luck on another, or refund and just look elsewhere? Not sure where else to grab a good in spec one at this point.
edit: cheap calipers show the left channel as .3 mm thinner, is this something that I should just overlook? |

There was a thread on here about some Luth-AR C7 uppers were fucked up like that. Is it obvious when you look at it? I haven’t mine, but it looks ok. Any chance they can hand pick one for you? I feel like most of these probably come from the same place so it’ll probably be a crap shoot in the future too.

That's only 0.012 thousands of an inch. The human eye can barely see that, let alone make a difference. 3 mm though, 0.118 inch, almost 1/8th of an inch would be a lot. |

Think its just because I know that this has been an issue before that I notice it more. Left side is 1.5mm and right is 1.8mm at the rear of the sight channel, but the front is 4.5 mm right and 5mm on the left. Guess I will just keep it. |

Got my C7 late yesterday.
Quick QC today shows that it GTG. On the awesome side: Looking rear to front, the sight channel ears are 0.086 thick drivers side, .087 passenger. R GUNS was only 0.0005 thousands (1/2 of one thousandths of an inch) off true center of the casting. Parkerization is a modern deep black, well done, and matches A2 lowers perfectly. All other machining is spot on. --- On the debit side, the port door rod is a civilian modern lathe cut fat head, instead of a correct government rod and C clip. The port door spring is black, instead of silver. The FA had rust in the pin hole and looks like a chinesium A2 kinda copy. Not US/CN colt Diemaco look alike. Finally, the FA spring is just a raw stock coil snipped to the fit length. Not a coil cut longer with the ends bent 90° to correct fit length. So the provided FA/spring is "never used, only gunsafe filler " trash too. Final grade: really sweet, but buy correct FA and port door assemblies while waiting for R Guns to ship, if going for a period correct build. |

Got my RGuns C7 upper today. Not impressed.
I'll attach pics of the measurements I took of the "ears". I think I will see if they will exchange it for one that is pretending to be in spec. ETA: Emailed RGuns and goth this response: "thats just the way they come out after the machining of the forging. you can send it back and we can give you a refund." That is short and to the point, I suppose. I double checked my measurements and uploaded new pics. I'm not sure I want to gamble with getting a worse or same out of spec upper. I don't think they will hand pick an in spec upper for me after getting that response. Not sure what to do at this point.       In a fit of irritation, I put this together and am pondering what to do. Yes, that is a detachable A1 carry handle.
