[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My new upper (pics!)

Posted: 3/5/2006 12:27:35 PM EDT

Hi all

I got bored of my Armalite 16" upper, so I picked up a new POF upper in 18".

I don't use vertical foregrips, so the rubberized forearm was a plus for me. Its very comfortable to hold.

It's amazing how much more solid the rifle feels now. Before, I had play from the handguards and between the upper and lower. Now there is just a hair of play between the halves (which is normal), but the forearm is rock solid.

Once I get her broken in I will post some groups.

I don't understand why you would get a rubber coated rail. Do they make it that way, or was it done after it left the factory?

Either way, thats a nice AR15, especially considering where you live.

Its like that from the factory Stickman. Why wouldnt you want more traction there? Seems like real tough stuff too.

My guess is heat.

But I shoot mine to the point I think the rubber would begin to cook.
