Precision .223 AR , 20” barrel
Currently running a standard forged upper, looking to upgrade. Which upper receiver would you choose? Edit: looking for stripped upper receiver suggestions. Sorry for the confusion. |

Does anyone sell a factory upper with a Krieger Barrel? If so, that one.

Oops... I should’ve been more specific:
I’m looking for stripped upper receiver recommendations. I already have a 20” Krieger intended for it. Sorry for the confusion @OldArmy @borderpatrol |

I am partial to BCM blems as they have an undersized throat where the barrel slips in very solid lock up.....60 bucks for a stripped upper and the upper assembly kit.

Vltor Mur 1A, tight fit and beefier than a standard forged receiver.

I suggest you buy a cheap upper, even a blem and a receiver face truing tool from Brownell's. You'll end up with a straight upper for not much money and have the tool in your box from now on.
Blems can be found from $40.00 to $50.00 stripped. Areo Precision usually has some. |

LaRue Stealth Upper/Handguard combo
Different animal when it comes to free-floating. The only other comparable receivers I've felt are: * Proprietary LMT Monolithic Upper Platform * VLTOR VIS If you really want to stick with your handguard, then: * Seekins |

What do you think of Stealth 2.0? That receiver/handguard combo is attractively priced Or would you stick with the ‘standard’ Stealth? Would be paired with this handguard @LRRPF52 |

Would be paired with this handguard @LRRPF52 I thought I was going to hate that junction between the upper and the handguard, but I don't even notice it. It's extremely rock-solid. The only thing that seems to move on the gun is the BCG, and the raceway for it is smooth. Mine is a factory complete Stealth 2.0 Grendel 18".

If you're willing to go with a proprietary handguard, I'd check out the Aero M4E1 enhanced upper. The handguard mounts directly to the receiver and not the barrel nut and it is a very solid mount. Reasonably priced if you look around for them on sale and either Mlok, Keymod or partial pic rail.

VLTOR MUR
Larue Stealth 2.0 Noveske Gen 3 BCM Aero In that order for me. The BCM typically has a tight barrel extension fit, which is good but the actual receiver and wall thicknessis nothing special. FWIW, the most accurate AR I’ve built was with an Aero stripped upper. |
