Anyone purchased an upper receiver from Matrix Arms? Looking for a non-FA upper and they have a nice option:

But I don't see any reviews and haven't heard of them personally. Wondering if I should just go with a BCM blem and deal with the FA.

I used their side charging uppers many years ago and it worked.  Nothing out of spec out of the 2-3 I used.  They are a small company but seemed to make well made stuff.  But it has been probably 8 years since I bought anything from them so YMMV for anything now.

They are good to go in my experience. At a past job we sold hundreds of their lowers. We had a small issue once and they were very quick to correct it. The lowers were very nice.

I haven't used any of their receivers but have a couple of their handguards on budget builds. They are solid, and nicely machined.

It is my understanding that at one point they made lower receivers for Ruger.  The upper and lower receivers I've seen and assembled have looked evenly finished, and were in spec.  Even better, they have an M16 style pocket.

I built my son's 1,000-yard 7.62 Service Rifle on a Matrix Aerospace set:

I have one of their 80% lowers I bought through a Brownells sale.  I also built a 7.62 rifle with an upper and lower from them.  As others have said, all very nicely machined and finished.  It has been a while though (at least ten years) since I made these purchases.

Good to go.

Their anodizing is a bit dry and chalky. Imo perfect if you rattle can stuff though
