Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - What upper receiver should I get - first build
Posted: 9/19/2009 4:59:47 PM EDT
I'm putitng together my parts list for my first build, most likely will be an SBR.  I have read a lot on here about which lowers to get (leaning towards LMT or Noeveske) but not a lot about uppers?  Tried to search but did turn anything up.  Any and all help recomendations, pro/cons is greatly appreciated.

I've got a DPMS lo profile that works great.  Throws brass around the 5 o'clock or 5:30 direction and back about 5-6 feet.  Pretty sure the people next to me like that too so it doesn't throw brass on them.  I can pretty much point behind me with my right hand and that's where it lands.

The last one I got was from Denny's and I was very happy but price was the main factor for me (CMT/Stag). You might want to get the same name brand as the lower in hopes that they mate up well. sometimes uppers and lowers mate up with more play than some want in an upper/lower fit.

If your going with the SBR I would go with a Bravo or LMT.
