That's hesse. They seem to have attracted a following despite some obvious problems with the kits and a terrible reputation.
 I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole |

Here is one of the more complete discussions.
www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=321110 Be sure to read most of it and take note of the "minor problems" and see if they are something you want to deal with. -Doc |

I thought I would hear something like that. Looks like I'm just going to go with Rock River.
What are your thoughts on OlyArms? My 1st AR with a OlyArms PCR-7 20" and I thought it was a great AR and shot really good. The reason I ask is because I don't see or hear about them here. Thanks Steven |

Most folks opinion of Olypic arms is not very high here. I have one, and it has worked flawlessly. I may have just been lucky.

Oly arms - if its a good (pricey) one you'll be fine.
If its a cheap one, its a cheap one. And don't expect much from their customer service people. |

Thanks for the help and stopping me from ordered the a upper from Blackthorne.
I traded my Glock 30 for a brand new Stag lower with 6 pos stock and a $100 from a friend. I'm trying to keep the total cost of the AR low. I like the Rock River 16" A3 mid length. Thanks Steven |

That doesn't sound like a super great trade to me...  stag lowers are 269 or so. Your glock was used?Don't mean to keep raining on your parade. RRA uppers are good to go. For that matter, so are Stag uppers. The actual upper receiver RRA uses is just a Stag piece with an RRA logo. They use different barrels, but both are good name brands. What is your budget for an upper? You can get a stag chrome lined upper with an excellent rear sight for 485 or so... |

That doesn't sound like a super great trade to me... hinking.gif stag lowers are 269 or so. Your glock was used? quote] Where are you finding that price, the local shop here in Jax and most of the places I've looked at them on the net are selling the stag lowers for $370 and he give me $100 with the lower. My glock was used I paid $450 for it a few months ago. He was a really close friend, not just a guy I know. I feel the trade was even. I'm trying to get a good upper for under $500, I've looked at the stag uppers but I want a mid length upper for I think Rock River's is the one to go with. I've found a used Rock River 16" mid length upper on the EE here for $400 that I may get. I may end up saving some more cash and getting a LMT upper, everyone on here are saying they are the best on the market right now. Thanks for the help. |

I THINK M&A's midlength uppers are RRA. Not 100% sure. Also RRA is enforcing MAP (minimum advertised price) so you need to call for prices or you are going to pay full manufacturer's suggested retail. |

You can get an LMT for under $ 500
www.bravocompanyusa.com/LMT-16-M4-Carbine-Upper-Receiver-Group-p/lmt%2016%20urg.htm That is the same upper I have. |

Mooneysfirearms.com has them... If they are expensive in your area, then I can understand. Here, the only lowers for 370 are LMT. I do not know if even an LMT is worth 370. Rock River is good stuff. Heavy barrels, but good quality. I'm not completely sold on whether or not LMT is worth nearly 500 bucks without a bolt/bolt carrier/charging handle. Definitely shop around, M&A's good people, I've had great experience with mooneys and he has good prices, email him before you order. |

That doesn't include the bolt/carrier so a complete upper would be $615. Thanks |
