    Which upper ?

    Which upper would you go with for a general plinker rifle?

    Sabre Defense chrome lined 16" middy
    Stag Arms Mlok chrome line 16" middy
    PSA premium chrome line 16" carbine
    CMMG chromed line 16" middy

    I will be using a Colt BCG in it.

    Most people here will say: None.

    But, if you're set on doing it with those options, on that budget, I have had wonderful success with Stag Arms products.

    PSA is very overgassed and, in my experience, within spec enough to keep running. I just don't like that even an A5-H4 still only gets it mildly tamed.

    I also say NONE but if you put a gun to my head I would pick the Stag. I don't understand where these guys come from. Why can't question about a purchase be about quality NOT price.

    Because Im looking for the best option to get someone started in shooting without spending $1500. Not everyone have unlimited funds. Also I have quality already, I own a FN Tactical, Colt 6920 SL & a Daniel Defense SLW V7, So I got those bases covered.

    A lot of ways to do it without spending 1.5K. I don't care what you have. You are pushing junk off on your acquaintance. If he/she can't afford to by it he probably cannot afford to shoot it!

    Out of those choices, Sabre Defense would be my choice, they put out good stuff before running afoul with the law. Stag would be number 2.

    Colt LE6920 16 Upper Conversion Kit (16" chrome lined carbine)
    BCM 16" Mid length chrome lined
    Sionics 16" Mid length chrome lined

    Guaranteed satisfaction, minimal drama or headache

    Sabre defence has been closed for 10 (?) years.

    If you want quality and a good price Brownells has pretty ridiculous pricing on Colt 6960 uppers right now. Like $519 and you can use a code for more off and free shipping. That is what I would do.

    I will let the person Im building it for know about this upper, Not sure if he has the funds to go that high.
    If they are still available next week, I may have to get myself one. Spent all my play money this week already, Wife would kill me right now.

    Is Sabre still around?

    +1 on the STAG if it's strictly a plinker.
