    I'm gettin' partial to the DD stuff. The stripped lowers are out of stock most everywhere though. I can wait.

    I like LMT but it's hard to find any of their stuff separate. I did find an LMT upper receiver with bolt group and charging handle for $250. Their complete lower goes for about $325 or so. That's some bang for the buck.

    Yeah, I think the LMT lower w. lmt 2 stager, ambi selector and lmt tube and sopmod for roughly $430 or so might just be the best bang for the buck out there.

    I could be wrong, but I don't believe any of those uppers come standard with M4 feed ramps. I don't know if you wanted them or not, but I thought I would mention it.

    I bought a Daniel Defense upper for something like $114. I don't know what you were planning on spending, but I didn't think that was too bad.

    I've given up on that other junk anyway. It's either gonna be a Daniel Defense or LMT. Depends really on whether I can find a set at the time.

    I have done many of these exact combo's especially with Daniel Defense going to the CHF barrels. I have been buying up their closeout barrels and using them in numerous builds. Great Daniel Defense accuracy and I can't note any accuracy differences in the non and in the CHF barrels. Life expectancy, well I haven't hit a difference yet. Hate to call it a budget upper as it is top notch IMO but you can do it for a great price. Will outlast 95% of shooters.

    I wish I could find a DD non CHF mid length.

    Off topic but if you have a barrel extension with M4 feedramps do you need a receiver also with M4 feedramps?

    How about Mega forged uppers and lowers? Bison Armory swears by them.

    sqwerl not to be an ass, but you need to use the search function as this has been covered in minute detail. It would be good educational material for you to find it and read it instead of having a yes/no answer here. We ask the professionals questions here after we exhaust all other means. This is not TOS.

    Mega uppers and lowers are excellent imo. Excellent fit, excellent finish.

    Also, if you like to make waffles on the front of your lower...
