[ARCHIVED THREAD] - A1 uppers from Ohio Rapid Fire

Posted: 4/17/2008 9:11:09 PM EDT

I called Ohio Rapid Fire a couple months ago when they advertised surplus A1 uppers in SGN. I was told they were grading them. I got a call this am they are graded and now ready for sale. $300 for excellent; $275 for very good; $250 for good.

I looked at their site. I didnot see them. Are they complete barreled uppers (I would hope at that price) or just the upper? FA and no Brass deflector?

Try Ohio Ordinance Works the above poster was confused.

Had me confused too.
I couldn't find them either...off to see OOW.

ETA: No dice.
They're still being graded according to the website.
I'll have to check back later.

They in stock- pot luck as far as selection. They are priced upon condition. They will have some at the SAR show in York, Pa in 2 weeks. They have no slick side receivers- they are all Fwd/Assist uppers.

Probably haven't updated the website yet.

Sweet...I'll pick another one up at the York show.

The original poster confused ORF with OOW.

Ohio Ordnance Works has the A1 upper- no choice they told me, you only pay for condition and they are box up ready to be shipped.

I guess it depends on who you get on the phone. I talked to a woman a while back and paid $25 extra for hand selection of a Colt and I got it

I guess the AK disease is just as bad as the BRD on the brain.

I got a Colt 1974'ish "C MP CHROME BORE" upper that was spanking new with the barrel wick still in it. It had a couple minor dings from handling , but no internal wear. In turn, others got ones that had seen some fairly hard use, which is why I am guessing OOW pulled the ad a bit so they can regrade them.

So if the 300.00 ones are like the one I already got from them, I'll be buying another on Monday.
