Ok...long time lurker, first time poster so be gentle. 
I'm starting my first build and still can't decide on the upper. Here is what I've got coming for the lower: Spike's Tactical stripped lower Daniel Defense LPK Magpul MOE hangrip, buttstock, & hand guards too for whatever upper I decide on. Upper Choices: 1. Spike's complete M4 upper from AIM when they get them back in stock. I would add a Magpul MBUS rear sight until I can afford additional optics. 2. Stag Model 2 complete upper. (already has a rear sight, so I'd save a couple of $$ that way) However, my question with the Stag is how does it's BCG compare to Spike's? Would I need to upgrade to a better BCG down the road? 3. BCM Standard 16" M4 upper with BCG & Charging handle. From what I've found, this would be the most expensive option, but not by much. Any thoughts/opinions are greatly appreciated. Especially about the BCG of the Spike's vs. Stag. Also, I know the Spike's has a 1x7 barrel and the Stag is 1x9. That isn't a huge concern to be though. Thanks in advance! |

I have a similar situation, I have a Stag lower and a Spike's. i am going to try and keep them pure breeds as far as the uppers (Stag with the Stag, Spike's with the Spike's) I know it may sound silly around here but I figure that if the uppers and lowers are from the same supplier they may work better together. Guess that is just a phobia of mine. I built a "gun show special" years ago that was not as reliable as I thought it should be. but I was young and dumb back then, I thought I could just walk the show and buy a piece here and there, not even asking who made it and it would work just fine.
Having been re-introduced to the ARFCOM community I have found out that as long as you get quality parts and do your assembly properly, you should have no problems mixing up a finely tuned machine. |
Of those 3 you want the......? Well I'd want the......? You can't go wrong with any of them! Get all 3. The BCM BCG is probably the most stout, and I bet the Stag upper is the most accurate. Mix and match.
The 1-9 twist will do you just as well if not better. I would try to put that on the bottom of the list of concerns. |

here is a link to a nice upper I am considering for my next build.
