The actual upper isnt that big a deal where you get it from, in my very humble opinion. Where you dont want to skimp is with the barrel and bolt. |

How does CMMG compare to the big name brands, concerning the barrel and bolt?

If that is the case then what are some barrels and bolts to stay away from and what are ones to look for? Thanks in advance.

I would stick to RRA or Stag. I've seen Del-Ton and J&T uppers and they seem fine but RRA and Stag are a step above
Stick to the name brands and you'll be fine. C4iGrant (G&R Tactical) is selling the new BCM line of uppers for an outstanding price right now. You can get one of those and a CMT MPI BCG and have one of the highest quality uppers available. |

Not only is the price kick ass but the quality looks to be outstanding as well. I hope to test drive mine on Friday. |

Its not that great considering you can build an upper with a Bushmaster 1/7 twist barrel and CMT flattop T-marked M4 feed ramp upper for about $350. Buying already assembled will never be cheaper then building one yourself. |

They are supposed to be top notch. I know that the barrels are MP tested, not sure about the bolt's they make, but I'd be willing to bet they are.. I'll be making a post about mine when I get it, shipping today... |

No mentions of LMT uppers?

LMT uppers are some of the best M4 uppers. They have all the good features like chrome lined chamber and bore, M4 feedramps, 1:7 twist 4150 steel barrel, proper "F" height front sight base, "T" numbers engaved on the upper and the uber cool "LMT" logo on the side! The BCM uppers are probably built from CMT parts, good stuff as well. CMT and LMT are both contractors to the likes of Colt, Bushmaster, Rock River and Stag. Parts from these companies are all likely to be good stuff. I have some 16" LMT uppers I am blowing out, need christmas money... www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=22&t=314699 Do your shopping, but you are probably not going to find a better deal than this on an LMT upper. $552 on your door for a complete upper with LMT b/c group and LMT charging handle. |

Big name price without the solid reputation. Sorry but I wouldnt buy any of their products. They may be good vendors but they are average parts, nothing special. The price they charge for them is way to high. But thats just my opinion. If you are going to be paying that for a part buy a real name brand and get some resale value later on. |

Del-tons flat top uppers are CMT's......I'm pretty sure that I've read that both RRA's and Stags uppers were made by CMT too....? Anybody know if thats right or not? |

Im pretty confident that RRA is CMT and I KNOW Stag is CMT.
I talked to a guy that personally stood inside the CMT factory and saw orders for Colt, RRA and Stag all being processed while he was there. He is a Class 3 manufacturer and exporter and I have no reason to doubt him. From comparing a CMT with a Colt, Im also confident that there are some CMT made Colts, but don't know how many. It goes to reason that CMT probably started life as a Colt subsontractor as they are just down the road. |

If that is true then a CMT upper with a Wilson barrel for Del Ton is the same as a Rock River upper. The only difference would be the price. I think that I will order from Del Ton. I have heard all good things about them and when I called today the woman on the phone was very helpful and pleasent.
