I bought an A3 stripped upper from Del-ton just recently also, great company! All you need is a foward assist assembly and an ejection port assembly. Very easily found, and usually all parts included unless otherwise noted, pay attention. Also, in my opinion a bolt is a bolt.....some will go on and on about mil-spec this and mil-spec that. Any reputable source you read more than 3 posts about here is a good-to-go company. I've seen complete bolt carriers go from $90-$200!

Kind of an odd way to start a build, yes?
For the bolt/carrier + charging handle, RB precision has a good deal going on: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=22&t=219434 The equipment exchange will be your friend. |

I started this build not knowing which lower to purchase. I have now decided to get a Mega.
Yes, I was confused as to which bolt/carrier to get. It seems know one has posted a diffinitive answer for people to use to explain just exactly what you need without all the fancy talk thrown in to confuse people. I was leaning toward the idea a bolt is a bolt. Where can I find one for under a $100? |

He asks a good question as I was considering the same tthing. What about the barrel extension? I can rebarrel an upper with no problem and I can build lowers all day long but this barrel extension is a mystery to me.
Can anyone speak about this item and thigns to consider when building an upper from "scratch"? |

The barrel extension HAS to be headspaced! Knowing that, I do not want to spend the extra money on headspace gauges and the barrel extension socket/wrench adaptor, I don't fool with it. Realistically there are to my knowledge only three other kinds of barrel extensions in .223:
TiN Chrome M4 Assuming you are changing the "standard" barrel extension. In my opinion, if what you have works, don't fool with it. You could cause same pretty serious issues with taking that on and off. However, it can be easily done with the proper tools and you'll should never have an issue. Good luck...... |
