I have an older SWD Cobray m11/9 carbine that I'm interested in putting a new upper on. Main reason is better sights, stock, railed forearm, etc.  I'm looking at Lage and Masterpiece Arms.


Does anyone have experience with the Lage 11/s semi auto uppers?  What makes the Lage worth roughly $100 more, when the Masterpiece includes an AR style stock adapter and basic stock?

Does anyone have experience with Masterpiece's MAC uppers?  Would you pay $100 more for a "better" version?

Lage website uses weird frames that I can't link to... but go into the 11s section for their pistol/carbine uppers.

I don't know if Lage uses the same assembly line for both auto/semi.. If they do, you're in for a multi month wait. You could use that time to save up for a full auto M11/9 and put yourself on the list.

Ah geeze, I thought I started this in the PCC Armory... oh well, have at it, GD.

Meh, that could be the deciding factor then. I'm not patient.

NFA MACs do look sweet. Just not sure if I or my wallet is ready for fa

Around an eight month wait if it's like any other lage product.

When it comes to MAC uppers-- if Lage is an option, Lage is the answer.

They are ~5k. I don't know your budget, but over 7-9 months i'd think most folks could do that if they really wanted to.
 

I get your point, but single income + kid, it'd take me a little while to save up.
And this semi auto has sentimental value since it belonged to a family member, so it's not like I'll sell it to get a non neutered version. I'm more interested in just making it more fun/useful to keep around.
