Who's making 11.5 complete uppers other than BCM?

[Jaysop]

I'm in the market for a upper for a lower I'm in the process of SBRing. This is going to be my first rifle that isn't 16'

It seems everyone is favoring the 11.5 over the 10.5. It makes sence why after reading BCMs write up.

I can't seem to find anyone other than BCM and KAC making 11.5 uppers. Is 11.5 inch barrels a newer thing? Is it just good marketing? Forgive my ignorance to the SBR thing.
I know I can put something together, I'd rather just have something complete this time.

For what it's worth the uppers I've been looking at are not all 11.5.
Uppers I've been looking at

BCM 11.5 Mlok
LMT MRP Mlok 10.5
LMT Mk18 + MK8 rail

Am I looking is the right direction?

Sionics has some. I built my upper myself, but I really like the reduced gas port barrel. I don't have my can yet, but it runs everything I've fed it perfectly unsuppressed so far.

Daniel defense, Colt, and as you stated KAC. I personally love my 11.5 Colt and BCM, and my 10.5 LMT. 11.5 barrels are not a new phenomenon. But they do seem to be more popular these days. And the only reason I have my 10.5 LMT, is because it was a deal just too good to pass up haha.

I didn't even think of Colt. Quick Google search shows the 6933 upper. I guess availability is another concern.

I plan on getting a suppressor soon down the road, how much of a concern is that in buying an upper? I see a ton of talk about port size.

• LMT has an 11.5" MRP barrel.
• PWS, though that's a long-stroke piston and not DI.
• Windham Weaponry
• Sons of Liberty Gun Works
• Stag Arms
• Daniel Defense

I'm sure there's plenty others, of varying quality (just like the names on my list).

Just buy the KAC and be done.

I would but I had a rough interaction with them in the past over an SR15. They made it right but in the end I realized I couldn't fix the issue myself. As it would be my only SBR upper I don't want to do that over again.

How much of a concern is the post size really? I don't want something that is going to be potentially problematic. That's kind of why I don't want to build an upper this time around.

Take a hard look at SIONICS.

Iraqgunz - how is the V2 handguard listed with this upper different from the V1 handguard shown elsewhere on the Sionics site? There's no pic, and no mention of a V2 handguard other than on complete URGs.

I really like the idea of being able to get a complete Sionics upper with the RGP barrel included.
