I know there are a LOT of variables that change the cost of an upper receiver, but... What would be a reasonable price for a generic M4 upper built by an individual? I know someone in my club that has 3 for sale. He said he would sell me one, complete with B/BC/CH for $350.00. I haven't seen them so I am assuming a plain, generic receiver. I have about half what he wants, and I will need to sell a rifle or something to buy it. Is that price worth the trouble? I would still need a lower, etc. Thanks, Jim |

If it's a chrome-lined barrel with a low round count then it's a good price. Here's what you can expect to pay even if you built one yourself CMT flattop - $100 CMT bolt group - $120 CMT charging handle - $20 Generic chrome-lined M4 barrel - $200 Generic M4 handguards - $20 Delta ring assembly - $15 Gas tube - $30 |

I will ask if the barrel is chrome lined. He built 3 and fired them enough to ensure they function. He is selling the other 2 minus the B/BC/CH for the same price- he's giving me a break since we shoot together at our club. He also has an excellant rep with the other club members so I am not concerned with his quality. I had not been looking for another upper, but this just came up. Since I have been basically turning my Colt HBAR into a service match rifle I would like a second AR that is shorter and lighter. Jim |
