    Now I just have to figure out what barrel, stock, rail, sights, scope, and so forth.

    Sure, if you want to pay for it?

    OK OK, I have the upper and the lower and a rail system. Now I just need all of the "LITTLE" pieces to make it work.

    I am leaning towards a 16" WOA barrel. Any one have any thoughts on them?

    I was hoping you would post some ! I can't do your pictures justice as you can see below

    Here is a pic of a Sun Devil, Vltor and a standard upper. I am waiting for my Larue billet for comparison but its B.O. The machine work on the Sun Devil is perfect. Can't find any flaws. I didn't realize the Sun Devil was so beefy until I had them side by side with the other uppers

    The Sund Devil upper is going on a 7.62X39 build which I should have together shortly

    Bought these off Rainier Arms ( awesome service ..highly recommended )

    Great pics. I did not even think about comparing it to the VLTOR upper. What is the third one in the with the barrel attached? I am thinking of doing a 6.8 build with mine.

    The third one is a just a flat top RRA that came with a 458 Socom upper. They blend in a uni brow looking single feed ramp ( picture m4 cut blended into one big honking ramp ) so I couldn't be bothered changing the reciever on that build

    I visited Dave Beaty at SunDevil Mfg in May to check out his facilities.

    He's got a great production plant churning out product for his customers for example SBR's machine guns for the army and AR's for S&W.

    He gave me a great tour and showed me some cool secret projects he's working on.

    Here's a pic of one of the production areas:




    This is a purple AR I ordered for my wife.
    Actually, it's an example of what I will be getting soon.
    I'll be getting a stripped lower receiver with a built upper.
    He's going to laser etch his own signature into the lower for me too!




    Here's a pic of a titanium finish that is pretty cool:




    Dave is a super nice guy and I used up a lot of his time seeing all the cool machines and how he makes his products starting from a block of aluminum to the finished product.


    Thumbs up for SunDevil!
