Hi Guys I have been away from building AR15's for a few years now and I need to build a couple for my Father and Nephew. I am looking for inexpensive carbine kits with chrome lined barrels. I think they are leaning towards A3's but A2's would work also. What is the best kit for the best price out there? I have looked at model 1 and some others but I am just not sure about the quality. Thanks for any help. I guess I should ask about a good price on lowers also. Thanks again. Tracy |

Quoted:
A Spikes complete upper can be had for about 500 bucks. Start adding in chrome lining and a chromed BCG the Delton starts losing ground on bargain status. + 1 Delton kits are $465 + 45 for CL and many of their kits are only available with 1/9 rifling. I would sooner get a Spike's upper, Palmetto State Armory lower build kit. Aero Precision lowers are $75 at surplusammo.com. $500 Spike's upper w/CH + BCG (1/7 CL, HPI, MP) 100 PSA lower build kit (LPK, stock, milspec tube, buffer, spring, plate, nut) 75 Aero Precision lower $675 plus transfer fee for lower receiver. You are going to spend about $90 more to build with the Spike's upper because it will not come with the LPK, stock, etc.. Nothing wrong with Delton, but I'd prefer the Spikes because of the 1/7 barrel and the fact that it ends up $10 less than the 1/9 CL Del-ton unit. |

You get a lot better quality for not much more in a Spikes. Palmetto has come out with a complete upper that is at a great price as well. $399 if I am not mistaken, but it shows out of stock. you can get the whole enchalda from Palmetto and come out at $580 plus transfer fee and shipping. |

Cheap kit - Delton and pay for the chrome lining. ++1 I have no regrets going with Del-Ton for my Middy and my in the works SBR will be a Del-Ton upper on a Deleware Machine lower. The only fault I see with Del-Ton right now is that are so back loged trying to fill orders you are in for a wait to get one. |
