Finally settled on this upper from PSA. I figured that was a good deal at $469.

Nice! This is one of the uppers I was eyeing out. I'm just getting too much mixed reviews on the 223 wylde.

One half is all for it, it'll shoot anything and everything in the 223/556 family and a hell of a lot more accurate than the standard 556 barrels.

then the other half says it'll shoot good and well but prepare for FTE's and having to use your forward assist and is finicky with ammo brands.

I love the look of that upper though!

When you get it, scrub it down and lube it well. Pay particular attention to the chamber with a chamber brush. Run a few hundred 5.56 brass through it. Then, you could probably run whatever you want through it. Lube it well.

If there were any mixed reviews about Wylde chambering, I doubt Larue would use it for their Stealth uppers.
