I received the slickside upper receiver I bought from Fulton Armory yesterday.

I'm pretty disappointed in the cosmetic flaws.  I think I should send it back and request another upper receiver.

What do you folks think?  How is Fulton Armory to deal with?

I'm going to send out an e-mail later today with these pics to see what Fulton Armory says about this.

if you are having a problem with what is remaining of those forge lines, you are going to have a seriously hard time finding an AR15 that is up to your standards...

Are the forge lines normal?

If those lines are normal, so be it.

Forge lines are normal.

BUT: try fitting a GI charging handle in your upper.  If it don't fit...don't be suprised....HOWEVER the charging handles sold by Fulton will fit.  I do believe that they are made by DPMS still.  At one time, they had REALLY tight dimensions in the upper that can cause issues with charging handle fit.  It may be that this issue is fixed now.

Fulton will be very happy to help you out if you have issues.  They have absolutely top notch customer service.

I did a test fit.  The CH works, but it is tight.  Nothing that lot's of lube and rounds downrange won't fix.
