| Who makes the best mid length upper receiver? |

No complaints about CMMG. You get 1/7 twist, chrome bore/chamber, parked under FSB. M4 feed ramps. All for a good price. That's what I was looking at originally. Now I just have to find one. You can pre-order one from AIM provided you get through on the phone...

Bravo Company This. My spidey senses kicked in around noon today and checked my email... HOLY SHIT!! BCM MIDDY'S IN STOCK!!! Well, got in while the gittin was good, I was lucky. Sold out in less than an hour, prolly less. Wait for 'em, and good things will come if you do. 
Oh, yeah... I read up on uppers before pulling the trigger on this one... no regrets, worth the cash. |

I do not know about the best, since I have not tried them all. That being said, I purchased a RRA mid length and with handloads (24 grains H335/60 grain Vmax, 2.25oal) it will consistantly shoot into the .4s and .5s with a .2 roughly every half dozen groups or so. Sub .5 moa meets my needs.

Does anyone other than CMMG offer a midlength with the following:
1/7 twist 14.5" with perm Phantom lightweight barrel That's what I'm looking for, and so far CMMG is all I'm seeing. Which is just fine, I have no problem with them, just wondering if there's anything else out there. |

BCM for best bang for your $. I have one and it's great.
If you want to spend more then Noveske or LMT would be your choices. CMMG makes them too and many here like their Mid uppers. I suggest you read the specs from each Mfg's website and correspond with them if you need additional info about their product. BTW, CMMG mfg's their own barrels, and BCM will not disclose who sources their barrels. Read the posts in this board going back at least a couple of months. Questions like this get asked on a regular basis and the responses can be extremely varied to say the least. Good luck on your research and your AR build.

CMMG does not make their own barrels! They don't make there own uppers, lowers, triggers, hammers, bolts, carriers or anything else they claim they make at their "factory'.! I don't care what CMMG told you at a gun show. According to them they must mine the ore to produce the metal. 
Actually CMMG has refused to disclose their barrel manufacturers in recent threads. Claiming it is a insider secret that they don't want their competitors finding out CMMG's sources. So CMMG has admitted they admitted they don't make their own barrels. WOW, they finally told the truth about something. Well, at least this month. |
