I don't know who'll do the swap for you, but there are some great deals on RRA and MEGA uppers on the EE that you'll want to look into.

A stripped flat top upper receiver from BM will cost you 129 bucks and if you send them your upper they'll pop it on for free. I checked in because i was gonna have it done also but am now just buying a whole new upper from them, couldn't hurt to have two.

The link is the bushmaster website -- they'll install any parts you purchase at no extra cost.
I'm not sure what a "non removeable A2 upper" might be, every upper receiver I've seen comes off once the two pins are removed. -- Chuck |

FYI, Bushmaster calls their flattops a "V Match" upper, or A3 upper.

Travis,
CALL (not email, FAX, or whatever) Bushmaster's Customer Service number and tell them you're going to buy a flattop upper receiver from them and you'd like to ship your existing upper to them to have them install it. They'll give you the address to ship it to and get your payment info. Ship your upper to them (remove and keep your bolt, carrier, & charging handle) and they'll ship it back with your barrel assembly installed on your flattop. You can then sell your A2 upper to recoup some of the cost if you wish. -Troy |

Thank you. That was exactly the information I was looking for. |

Do you see yourself wanting a flip up sight in the future? If so, have BM remove the FSB and install a gas block for you while they're at it. I routinely assemble uppers from parts instead of buying them complete, the one thing I have the most trouble with is BM barrel's FSB. While a few members have done it with relative ease, I and many others find it all but impossible, these taper pins are machine pressed in.
I've done this to two of perfectly good BM FSBs, not only did it take me 2 hours to cut it open each time, I also wasted parts I need elsewhere. [img]www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid92/pa51e35a58c9dd7960b1acbc8a6ae32f5/fa594031.jpg[/img] |

Duffy,
What is the typical cost bushmaster charges for that? |

I dunno, if BM will charge nothing to put your barrel on the newly purchased upper receiver, this should be no charge, since they have the equipment it'd take less time for them to do that than swapping receivers. But I'd do as Troy advised, call BM and find out [:)] Whatever they charge, if any, is better than having to endure the pain of removing the FSB yourself [bd]

Quoted: Vinnie, Thanks for the clarification. I've fixed my post. No sweat, just wanted to make sure you get what you ask for when you do call Bushmaster. Otherwise you may end up with a Rail System instead of a flattop upper. [:D] |
