I was wondering who makes good complete barrled uppers? I would like to assemble one my self but i'm not sure i'm ready. I already have looked at BCM and i would like a 1/7 twist  I am extremely "green" when it comes to these rifles.

That's one of the best unless you go custom.

I know I sound like a broken record, but PK Firearms.  I have 3 from them.  All 1 in 7 twist.

Lewis Machine and Tool make some of the best complete uppers. Look them up in the EE, and do a search on the site.

Another vote for BCM.  You can't go wrong with them; they'll take good care of you.

I have experience with both BCM and LMT uppers, both ordered from Bravo Company.  The owner is a Marine, so he worked with me awesome.  They are pretty much the exact same upper, both 1/7.  I bought a LMT 16" upper and my buddy got a 16" BCM, they looked damn near the same out of the box.  Call up Paul (The owner, I am pretty sure that is his name, it has been a little while) and talk to him, hes a great guy to work with.

I just ordered an upper from CMMG.  I ordered a medium contour barrel, 1/7 twist, proper barrel steel, chrome lined, and a good reputation. I chose the 18" though I was looking for a 20" to begin with.  I think this might be a great mix use barrel.  I also considered the BM 20" govt profile.  The do not offer the heavy fluted in 1/7 (I asked)

I had also considered BCM but they are out of stock the stuff I was looking for and I don't hesitate when the wife says "well, OK"....
She might change her mind!
