First AR will be a 16-inch middy. I'm trying to decide between two (three, really) options:
1) Go cheaper, meaning a DSA 16-inch middy upper for $300 and fit it with a BCM BCG and charging handle and maybe a Troy TRX rail, for a total of under $700. Disadvantages: 1:9 twist and probably little resale value while these uppers are at these proces. 2) Go "gooder," meaning a BCM middy upper (basic $425/hammered $525) with a BCM BCG and rail , for total upper cost of $800/$900. Advantages: 1:7 twist and good resale value. I shoot mostly flintlocks, so it will not see thousands of rounds. This'll go on a Mega lower I already have built. What I really want is a good, reliable shooter. I'll build a boutique AR later. |

Buy quality, cry once. Buy cheap, cry forever. |

You'll have built a solid rifle that you'll never have to second guess yourself on (at least for the upper). Paul makes good shit. In hind sight, I wish I would have gone top shelf with my first rifle, then I would have two badass rifles instead of one badass and one midgrade one. |

I shoulda known better than to query the clown posse for advice. I think I'll go cheap, against all my instincts. Beer? What kinda 'tards drink rotten barley juice anyway? Then why the fuck did you come in here asking for advice? Yet another one will bite the dust................................................................................................ |
