How much for the upper ? I don't see that listed, unless I'm misreading that.

I hate to say it but, you can't buy a stripped upper for $100. The stripped lower I bought from form Model 1 Sales without the BCG and CH was $ 485 plus the BCG & CH was another $135. It was $ 615 shipped.

Camp you are talking a assembled upper. He is talking stripped upper.

A stripped upper with the add-ons seem like a waste since you can buy them fairly cheap. Still, what was the cost of the total price on the upper with everything ? Barrels are $200 plus all the other accessories.

You still need a barrel. I'm not knocking the guy, but the price seems too cheap from what I've done. Mine was right at $ 725 with everything complete.

[carpsniperg2]

You can buy them pretty cheap indeed but you can build them cheaper or with better components for the same money.

Here is a easy work up. 100 for complete upper. 40 for gas black and tube. 60 for a hand guard. 15 for a charge handle. 100 for a bcg. 30 for a flash hider. Plus the barrel which can go 100- you name it. I just did another with a 120.00 barrel so lets say that.

That's 465 for a finished 100% completed upper.

Nice job.  Put in the safe and keep it there.  They're like Tribbles.  All they do is eat and multiply. 

Be honest.  After you finished it, you went around the house going, "pew, pew. pew."

I just finished my first AR. I got the lower and the parts kit for christmas and i have picked up the rest over the last few months.

Nice looking rifle...

Looks great, now you will be wanting to build your 2nd, 3rd, . . . . . . . . .

 


How true...

Purchased a Colt 6920 in 5.56mm. Wanted something for larger game. Ended up building a 6.8mm. Now I'm building a .458SOCOM. Black Rifle Disease...

A friend of mine had a .458 SOCOM, and it was so brutal to shoot he sold it.  My .450 Bushmaster is a joy to shoot.  I should take it out and shoot it one of these days...
