I am looking to buy a complete upper and wanted to know what you guys thought as to the best place to buy and which is the best upper to get. I am looking to get a A3 flat top with the M4 feed cuts and a 16" M4 profile barrel -- also recommended chamber to get 5.56 or 223 ?? Is it the 5.56 chamber is good for both 5.56 and .223 ammo or the other way around ?

Thanks in advance.

You can shoot .223 in 5.56 chamber, but the other way around is not recommended.

I've been looking for the same thing as you, and I'm leaning towards the LMT barreled uppers from MSTN <--also located in industry section as well as the EE.

Get a complete upper from CMMG they are priced at $499.95. they feature 4150 barrel steel, chrome lining in the barrel, 1/7 twist, they should have real M4 feed ramps soon, but thier dremeled M4 feed ramps work great too. That also have a 5.56 chamber, forged front sight base. They are a real good deal, and a a great quality upper. I like them better than anyone else. Thanks Arvin

Hey Arvin you think CMMG would dremel in some feedramps for me if I sent them my current upper?  I just can't bring myself to take the dremel to it, I don't have enough confidence in my dremel skills

That would be sweet if it was reasonably priced and quick turnaround, anyone know who else would do something like that?  Adco?

Does the upper from CMMG for 499 include b/c/ch?  If so that sounds like a good deal.

I do LOVE my LMT upper.  It fits your needs perfectly.

bitterslpleaf,
I don't know if they would but you never know until you ask. I think they might if you were to ask nicely.

Gimme_A_Carbine,
The upper from CMMG came with a complete bolt carrier and charging handle, and I have heard if they run out of regular bolt carriers they substitute chromed carriers at no additional cost. To me they are a great deal, and they are pretty much the only place I will go to get a barrel or a complete upper. Thanks Arvin
