I am looking to build my 1st AR and have been looking at the mono uppers. I like the look of the Mega round tube upper but can't seem to find any threads on it here. The search tool seemed to be somewhat flaky with No results?
How are the Mega uppers? Good value? expensive? I know that the one I was looking at was about 530.00 Is it worth just getting the standard upper and adding on the foregrip in comparison? It will be mated with a CNC lower from TNW. Now this is also pretty much going to be a target gun for the range. Thanks, Jay in NJ |

I got real exited when I heard Mega was making a monolithic upper and wanted to use it for my recce build but once I saw the final design, I decided against it.
What I don't like is the barrel lock up. Because of the way it was designed, you can not have a low profile gas block installed under the rail section. To each their own but I do not like exposed gas blocks, especially if they are not pinned on. |

Here are the assembly instructions: http://www.megamachineshop.com/pdf/MTS-ASSEMBLY-INSTRUCTIONS.pdf page 4 shows the low pro gas block installed. Pretty sweet.... |

Well that's fine if you have a set screw GB but what about a clamp on or pinned on GB? I guess it's just not cup of tea. YMMV? |
