solgw upper vs others

[MrLegalAce777]

I am looking to put together a rifle that I intend to keep for ever and serve as a do all shtf rifle. I already have my bcm lower and now its time for an upper and I am between solgw upper and bcm. What do you recommend including others? Budget is about 1100.

I prefer the elw barrel profile from bcm over the govt profile from solgw.

Craftsmanship they probably pretty close.

I've owned a bunch of brands. Just bought a 11.5 Bcm. Mcmr. Couldn't be happier.

If 20" barrels are your thing, check out the NOS M16A4 upper from Ohio ordnance works. It doesn't get much more shtf approved than that

looking more for a 13.7-14.5 pinned upper. I read good things about solgw but also it seems like people talk about how good cs is but my concern is if its always something to the point to talk cs then is there an issue? I am leaning more towards the solgw 13.7 build if they get rails in soon. Also had a concern because they use qpq barrels and not chf barrels since I am trying to get the most out of the barrel(I shoot about 1k rounds a month)

Not speaking from personal experience with the company but if you shoot out a barrel solgw claims they will replace it for you. Might be a consideration if you continue to shoot 1k per month.

I think SOLGW is a top dog. And they replace your barrel for free like he said. For the money you can't go wrong with the patrol upper

The only thing holding me back from it is the barrel. It looks like BA makes them and im unaware of BA quality. I have a lot of bcm and dd barrels that cost around 300 whereas the solgw is 160 and I know cost isnt everything but when its from good companies you do get what you pay for.

Right now SOLGW is still small and making a name for themselves. You're going to get really good value man. I would buy with confidence. DD is still good and so is BCM. I buy from them too, but they're at the point now where they can afford to ride on their reputation and start cost cutting here and there.

You can always call them and ask any questions. I've done it to FN

Generally BA quality is pretty good, especially for the price. However, even though BA makes the barrels, they are made per SOLGW's specs and inspected by them to ensure quality. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from SOLGW.

Having said that, you can't go wrong with either BCM or SOLGW.
