Can You Help Me Find or Comment on Upper Choices
Ok, Im starting to put togeather my First AR, it is a semi-build.
I bought a PSA stripped lower, MOE LPK, PSA Premium BCG, and MOE stock/buffer kit all from PSA this weekend due to good reviews and the sale they had going on.
Now the Upper is where im having an issue.
Im looking for a 16" Mid-Length flat top chrome lined with a 1:9" twist. Complete Upper Reciever assembly (sliding in the BCG is about all im comfortable doing, maybe attaching the handguard if it doesnt involve taking front sight off ect...)
I see basically all the better manufacturers only offer 1:7" twist, which I think is crazy. I would think that about 80% of people who buy these probably shoot 55gr or 62gr ammo.
I know people will say 55gr in a 1:7 is fine, but id like to avoid that argument, I dont agree and will never be buying/reloading anything over 68gr.
So can anyone reccomend an upper meeting those specs? This is what I have come up with, and while im leaning tward Del-Ton, I know their not always considered GTG by some people, but they just seem to meet the criteria im looking for. It seems only the lower tier manufactuers offer the 1:9" twist. Which maybe should tell me something, but maybe im just stubborn.
The options ive seen so far:
- Delton 16" mid-Length, Chrome Lined. I can order without BCG and slide the PSA right in. Can also chose handguard upgrade. My thinking is how bad can the barrel/chamber/upper be?
- RRA, a bit more money, but if its better im fine with that.
- J&T Distributing, apparently same as doublestar. their website offers almost zero information. not sure about quality
- CMMG, I have heard ok things. same money as RRA and would have an extra BCG like RRA as well.
Im new to all of this so if im overlooking something or being totally retarded, go easy one me.
Thanks for any input/opinions
