Where can I find/who makes cheap AR-15 Uppers?

[ryan3030]

I'm building a kind of "poor man's AR" before I build a nice one to really learn more about the platform. Found some stupidly cheap plum crazy lowers, now I just need a cheap upper to pair them with.

Recommendations?

Upper assembly or upper receiver?

Model 1s tend to be pretty cheap, and seem pretty well liked too. Might want to look for used uppers. Either recievers or assemblies.

I would like to hear more about the lowers....

And yeah to agree with the post above me, we would really need to know if you are looking for a stripped upper, barreled upper, complete upper, are you looking for the bcg to be included? How much is cheap to you?

 

[ryan3030]

Going to need a complete upper since all I have picked out is a lower.

Del-ton, Model 1 Sales

Check out the Spike's complete uppers at AIM Surplus too-- MUCH nicer and still relatively inexpensive.

R Guns Complete M4 5.56/.223 Upper Half

That's pretty darn cheap.

This ^^^ IMHO, for the very, very small cost difference, you get an upper that is leaps and bounds ahead of the others. I would get a Spikes upper hands down. Not to mention that all their uppers come with their heavy buffer so that is something that you won't have to buy if you decide you want a heavy buffer.

Take a look at AR15 Parts, M16 Parts, Assault Rifles, Tactical Gear M&A Parts, Inc.

M&A parts sucks IMHO. And I'm not the only person that holds that opinion. Some of the parts I've gotten from them before were plastic ones (plastic triggers guards) when they should have been metal and there was no mention of plastic parts when I ordered.

Also, I once ordered 2 BCGs from them and was charged $37 for standard UPS shipping. I'm sorry, but a 1 lb package on standard UPS shipping doesn't cost $37. I asked them about it and they said, "The system calculated your shipping correctly, that's what it is." WTF?

IMHO, while some may have good experiences with them, there are plenty of bad experiences to turn people to other sources.

Anyone have an Rguns promo code? Their complete upper is too good to pass up.

That is an Awesome deal, but how do these uppers run? I would be interested in getting one of these myself.

I got my complete upper from DoubleStar Corp.

Here is a review on part of it. It's an old thread though so the pictures are missing, although the videos are still there.

[maniox74]

can anyone order that upper from rguns or do you have to have it sent to a ffl and do all that paperwork crap?
