I've been looking to finish my "behind the seat of the truck" gun but I can't find an inexpensive flattop upper. I'm looking for a complete upper. I'm using these guys for the lowers unless someone else knows of a better price. http://www.lonestarwholesale.com/2.html Anyway your secret parts sources or a good source for maybye a lower grade but functional complete upper that will hit a coyote at 100 yds would be appreciated. |

Really nice flat tops aren't all that much anyways. If I was buying a flat top upper right now, I'd go go for one of the Bravo Company MOS uppers. For $399 sans BCG, thats a pretty good deal for something that is chrome lined, 1/7, 4150 steel, and tested with a proof load and then MP inspected. Another good deal out there are the CMT (Stag) uppers, you can get a complete 16" carbine upper with rear irons for $525. If you want to spend less, just keep looking on the EE until someone decides to unload a decent brand upper - Bushmaster, RRA, CMT, etc. It all depends on how soon you want it.

I myself wouldn't have a flattop for a "behind the seat of the truck gun". You have to have a BUIS on it or an optic for it to be useful. I would choose a 16" A1 upper. Nothing to get knocked out of alignment or loose. Just a thought. ______________________________  |

DJForrestA, I just got an M & A Parts 16" midlength flattop upper complete from them. It is a Rock River upper and barrel. Have shot several hundred rounds so far of UMC, Black Hills Blue Box and Q3131 with ZERO problems. Colt_SBR makes a good point, depending on what you need it to do. I mounted an A.R.M.S. #38 sleeve on mine and the sights are a tad funky compared to an A2's sights, to me anyway. It's like the small aperture isn't small enough and the large aperture is bigger than I would prefer, but it works. But, Love the 16 middy from M & A and the price is right. |
