Look at www.brownells.com/ for the billet upper. There was a company called SOCOM Manf. that made billet uppers/lowers that I believe is out of business now, but Brownells carried them and most likely has some still.

Billet receivers have come down a lot in price, and I wouldn't be shocked to see the uppers produced again at a more realistic price.

Edumacate me on this. Why? Advantages, or just the cool factor. Never seen a billet upper for a AR before. Thanks,

stronger =less deflection more rigidity and cool factor
Forging is a manufacturing process where metal is pressed, pounded or squeezed under great pressure into high strength parts known as forgings. This is usually done by heating the metal, but some forgings are produced without heating. billet take a big chunk and start making chips fly! |
