I have been lurking around, looking at a lot of threads.  I do like the information that I am seeing.  
I see information about this builder or that supplier and yet I have not seen anyone post anything about Fulton Armory.  Do you not like them?  Do they not supply good or correct parts?  
I am in the process of building another Match Rifle upper and have ordered parts from them.  I believe that they do supply good parts.
Please advise.

Do not worry, you have good parts. They just aren't big into the AR game like some other names.

They are better know for their M1 and M1A rifles.  
I wish I had the money for an M1A.  
Had a Springfield but had to sell it.

I'm not expert but the parts I got from fulton for my 308 build worked like they were supposed too.

I have been buying Bushmaster parts and have been happy with them.
I believe that I am stepping up a notch with my new build.  I have ordered a Krieger 24" barrel along with a Fulton flat top receiver.
I have been shooting NRA Highpower and need to upgrade a few things.  At the same time, I am looking for a 16" carbine.  I have gotten a lot of good information through your post.
I am still partial to a button barrel over a hammered barrel.

Years ago I was in need of some small parts (extractor, detents, springs, etc.), and Fulton took care of what I needed, fast, and with low shipping rates.
I would deal with them again.

Fulton makes good stuff AKAIK, they are just a little prricey.

Their crappy website sure doesn't help them any.

Fulton's always done right by me. Their prices are not always the best but they often have stuff that's a little hard to find.

They are a bit pricey.  They have also been around for a while.
I am looking for a 16" barrel with a Picatinny Rail gas block.  I would like to put an Aimpoint on it for home use (or range play).  
I have been purchasing and building for a few years.  Most of these companies are new to me.  I have been searching their sites trying to find something specific.
I think that I will build my own.  I have even looked at some of the new piston systems.  I am tired of cleaning the carrier.  I have gotten a few good ideas on that as well.
I am trying to post pictures but have not figured that out yet.

I have never seen any complaints about Fulton's AR15 parts. They are/were a big supplier to CMP competitors. EdSr has a Fulton M1a  (I hate that name and think m14 should refer to the semi auto versions but I'll be clear that it is semi auto). It is one of the nicest looking rifles I have seen.
 



I agree that their website sucks.

I've used a couple of their incomplete lower parts kits in builds (already had the FCGs) and an A1 stock with good results  . I also ordered the 20" Krieger stainless barrel I used in my SAM-R build from them.

Thanks for the info.
Have fun at the range and always keep the sunny side up.
