    Centurion Arms, CM4
    Seekins Precision, SP223

    Every upper receiver I have is tight on a Centurion lower.

    So is the Grey Ghost upper/lower I picked up last fall. They may still have blems.

    Centurion is still pretty well thought of, yes?
    Besides their receiver sets, does anyone have any input on their C4 vs CMR mlok rails?

    I picked up this set last month when they were on sale and am impressed with the fit and finish. I haven’t decided what to build with it yet, though, as I just purchased the set on a whim.

    BCM still has those $50 blem upper receivers. I got one and it came assembled and a very small almost unnoticeable scratch on it.

    The FCD/SOLGW set looks really nice. If I was doing a new one I’d probably get that.

    We shot with a dude who had a SOLGW lower last weekend. Pretty nice looking. Some of their logos aren't my favorite, but the lower looked great.

    FCD did a cobranded set with them a while back. I don’t even know if it’s still available but it looked really nice. And I don’t think it had the SOLGW logo as it was a FCD set made by SOLGW. I’m not a fan of gaudy obnoxious branding. Especially stuff that’s “founding father” themed. It comes off as a little silly to me. But SOLGW stuff has proven to be solid.

    Well put. I really don't like 90% of lower branding that's out there. That Harrington & Richardson lower that PSA sells is pretty cool. I kept wanting to ask the guy who brought it what colt model it originally was because at a glance it looks very Colt.
