Ok, after burning lots of high-speed net time doing searches that didn't include the words "playmate" or "silicon", I am still unable to find what I want: a mid-length upper with a pencil barrel profile. Does such a beast exist? Do I only want what I can't have and was unable to find? I've been leaning towards a mid-length because I already have a 20" & an M4gery. And, I wanted a light weight barrel profile so that it will be easier for a woman to shoot it and it fits in with this vague theory of an "Arizona AR" - light for carrying all day, short for heavy brush, bit longer sight radius for the open desert, Duracoat some desert camo on it. Like I said, it is still vague. Anyone know where I could find such a beast, or maybe find the parts to build one? I've never built an upper and was looking for the "take out of box and place on lower" approach, but I could be talked into something more complex. Wait, I can read your mind! I appreciate why a Dissipator top end fits what I'm looking for, but I just don't care for the looks of 'em, hence the mid-length. Thanks in advance! |

CMMG makes a 14.5" midlength upper in the light weight profile. cmmginc.secure-mall.com/shop/?shop=1&cart=442501&cat=27& Top of the page. |
Beautiful! Thanks for the info. I checked out CMMG and somehow missed what was right under my nose the entire time. I appreciate the help. |
Yes. It's their C6 model ( Cavalry Arms C6 ) They also have the tapered kind called C8 ( C8 Handguard ) which is the style used by CMMG I ordered the handguard separate from the upper. CMMG only listed the C8 & black on their website (as far as I could tell - never called to verify). I did call CMMG after the upper came in & asked them a stupid question, which demonstrated either my IQ, old age or both. Luckily, they said that they would keep it between me & them.  |
