I really like the SAI/BRO billet design. SAI doesn't sell their matched sets anymore and I don't care for the BRO logo. Are these the only two companies that stamp their name on that design? What are the thoughts on the Colt oem barebones package? Seems like a nice shortcut. Just add furniture, swap trigger and you're done.

I recently bough an Aero Precision U?L set and I am very happy with the fit and finish. Also I bought their enhanced M4E1 upper with handguard - very nice fit and easy build.

I'm not sure if you have looked at Mega Billet Upper/Lower Receiver Sets. Not identical to those, so forgive me if you are wanting 100% identical. But they share a lot of the same aesthetics as the BRO does from what I am looking at. Trigger guard looks to be of almost the same shape/construction. Just throwing that out there (it's what I picked after looking at several billet sets - including BRO).

What about American defense manufacturing. Have you seen those?

Stubborn Mule has some nice billet lowers. They use to make them for LaRue if you are familiar with the shape/design.

Yes sir. As well as the NSR rails. They've been "behind the scenes" for a while. Though I'm not sure if there is still a working relationship.

What's the deal with some of these uppers not having a forward assist. I've never seen that before.

Slick sides have been around since the beginning of the AR platform way back in the 50's, the originals were not designed for a FA.  I have both and while in the service I carried a 16 with a FA, I only used it a few times, especially in sandy environments, in civilian life, I don't really find it to be needed other than to play with while sitting on a deer stand.

In fact getting ready to build another slick side, when my upper gets here on Friday.

American Defense Manufacturing lowers look nice, and being fully ambidextrous is a little bit of a bonus. I have no experience with them, though I am sure they are good to go.
