    I thought my SWAT article on the SR15 was quite well done, thank you.

    Whining in a forum that people have seen your thread, but not replied, reeks of an odd brand of desperation. - Me

    Titling your thread "To XYZ or Not to XYZ" will cause me to completely ignore your thread.

    It could have been, but I did not get a chance to read it.

    True words.

    Too bad the complete LMT lowers are in such short supply.

    There are other options for lowers. We do a lot of custom lowers with our LPK and they are generally in stock.

    Del-ton review

    I don't want to restart a p**sing contest, but if one were to buy a name upper with a name barrel, wouldn't that be the first step in building a semi- quality upper?

    I see ads with Wilson barrels and Cerro Forge uppers for a reasonable price, combine those with a good BCG would you have a good build or not?

    Just asking

    It depends on your NEED. Good for what? In the armory where I work there is a brand-spanking-new complete upper still in the box that my department bought for me specifically to use. We've had it since November and still it sits in the box it came in. The entire thing was $390 including the BCG, handguards and CH from M&A Parts. I elected to use my own personal upper instead until I could find the one I really wanted (and trusted). It's supposed to arrive tomorrow from Grant. I spent nearly $1000 of my own money because I wont stake someones life that on substandard equipment. I have to know its going to work.

    You do realize that Wilson barrels are one of the cheaper ones out there right? They are also not HP/MP and are generally 1/9 twist with no M4 Feed Ramps.
