First build- I have 2 Superior Arms lower w/ lpk from J&T. Any suggestions for pretty basic complete upper? Don't have a ton of money to blow.
Just want to get one together. Then hoping to do stripped upper etc for the second build. Input appreciated.

There were a lot of M16A1 USGI take offs a few years ago - this was an interesting light weight upper.
While limited for future builds due to the A1 sights and the 1 in 12 barrel twist, makes a nice shooter and works for 22 LR.
While most of these have dried up from the primary surplus market, still see a few at gun shows etc.
Check for any damage and extent of barrel wear before buying.

Have some fun; get a 6.5, 6.8, .450, .458, or .50 cal upper.

Thanks for the input- I think I'm going to go with a 6,8 per Powder_Burns suggestion. I know the ammo's spendy- but so is 5.56/.223 lately.
Any input from people on this type build (on a 5.56 recever) would be cool.   I read the FAQ.
Have a good weekend.
