I already have a flat top, I got one from Del-Ton. It is nice. I can't find anything wrong with it, but what do I know?hy.gif...., I am new to this stuff.h.gif

I am wondering in retrospect hat
1. What should a newbie look for in a quality upper?
2. Is there any difference (besides the design, A1, A2, A3, etc.) that should be scrutinized?
3. Should I just go with what I can afford (cheapest) and not worry at all?

Any information is much appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

make sure it is forged and not cast.
the rest depends if you want fixed carry handles or not.

Make sure it has M4 feed ramps if your going to use a barrel with M4 feed ramps.

Make sure its Type III anodised and not coated with some non spec material like Teflon.
