I did a search and nothing came up so I thought I would ask about Tonys Custom Uppers and Parts. Does anyone have experience with them? What brand of parts do they use?

He's a good guy, he deals almost exclusively with Colt parts.  He always has a huge booth at one of PA's best Gun Shows and hes has a whole work bench at the show is is always busy buildimd and repairing AR's for customers there.  I have bought things off of him and he was great to deal with.  I don't know how true this is but he told me he has something to do with Colt and the Israeli army, I just don't remember exactly what it was he said he did.  He definetly is a good honest guy to do business with

good luck and post back if you deal with him

I bought a complete Colt M4 stock off of him the weekend the AWB ended and he charged me $90 and installed it for free when at that time Colt stocks were selling for $150

Colt parts? Are you sure about that? He carries some uppers and such but if it's the same guy, [short stocky muscular, has his wife and little kid with him quite often, nice guy] he does not install or carry Colt parts save for some older uppers. His Bolts and carriers are not Colt for sure nor will he tell you that. I think some of his parts are DPMS actually. BTW I've asked him before who the maker was and his standard answer is the same one's that the major AR companies buy and install. Fair enough answer I believe, the parts are good to go.

He's a good guy and I've bought parts from him before along with an upper if it's the same person. He can build a VG AR and knows his stuff. He won't rip you off and he will stand behind his work.

From what he told me and from some, not all of his parts that I saw were all colt.  All of his stocks, receiver extensions, srtipped uppers and other small parts I looked at were all Colt.  He might and probably does sell other manufactuers parts but from the things I have seen and from the talk I had with him he does ell Colt parts.  And yes he does have his wife and I beleive his kid with him at show.  He also is a short stocky guy, Italian looking and like you said he does know his stuff.

to the OP, he is a good guy to deal with, I would ask him who the manufactuer of the paticular items you are looking at are

I went to come back to my thread and I thought for a minute that it had been deleted! Sorry for posting it in the wrong section.

Thanks for all of the input guys - I've already built an A2 style lower and am looking for a 20 inch upper. If I decide to do business with him I will report back.

Thanks again!

I have an 11.5" upper I bought at SHOT 05, ran 100% from day one.  Good guy and quality parts.

Met him and liked him, spent money with him at SHOT '06.

Would this be the Tony at the MI gun shows with the big red cabinets full of AR parts and a bunch of uppers ziplocked to a stand at the end of the booth???


If so he is in Lansing this weekend.

What kind of uppers are those?

I've talked to him a few times, seems like a good guy.  Saterday I bought one of his FF railed forearms,$125 installed.  He also installed a YHM gas block/flip down front sight.
