While I'm still waiting impatiently for my RRA to arrive, I've been thinking about buying another uppper, perhaps something more suited for downrage shooting that I could switch out or eventually just end up using it in a 2nd rifle. My question, when Iook at uppers, some of them cost more than a complete rifle. What makes a $1300 LaRue $1300 vs say $500 from somewhere else? I"m not at all opposed to paying for quality, but I want to get a better handle one what I'm getting. Also, this is a total newb question about building a rifle. I get a bit comfused when I read posts about uppers, complete uppers, and lowers. it seems those terms mean different things to different people. I would like to buy just the major components to put the rifle together. My thought is that would be a complete upper (like the LaRue or LMT), a complete lower, then obviously a stock and grip. Am I missing anything? |

What you need to put a complete rifle together:
*Upper receiver with barrel(complete upper receiver, barrel, barrel nut, gas tube, gas block) or Complete upper Barrel gas tube gas block Barrel nut (different kinds, delta ring, free float barrel nut, ect) *Handguards *Bolt Carrier Group or Bolt carrier Complete bolt Cam pin Firing pin FP retaining pin *Lower receiver complete (stripped lower receiver, LPK, buttstock, buffertube, buffer, and buffer spring) or Stripped lower LPK (lower parts kit) pistol grip comes with Buttstock Buffer, buffer tube, buffer spring (sometimes comes with the buttstock. *sights (various kinds, will determine on how you want it, flip up, fixed, optics, ect) |
