    Fair enough. What exactly do you do that puts you in harms way, if you dont mind me asking?

    The last one I installed on Pappabears fit like a glove and there was no discernible gap that I could see.

Keep in mind this is purely a cosmetic concern and i don't think it will cause problems for optic mounting.

    No, it wouldn't be a gamble at all. The Vltor would be a tighter fit.

    I stand corrected. (For the first time ever.)

    I am in the USAF but this weapon will not be used when I deploy seeing as most of us cannot use our own weapons. I was referring to a home defense situation or any situation where you must employ the weapon you built to save your life and the life of your loved ones . I have a wife, son and one on the way and hopefully I will never need to use this system in my home but if I do I want to know that I didn't skimp out on quality to save a few bucks.

    Personally, I would go with the standard M4 upper from B Co.
    No worries that it is a quality part or not.

    I built my last build, an AR Pistol, using a BCM M-4 upper, and I had no complaints. The fit/finish was great, and the T-markings and M-4 cuts were perfect. Would not hesitate to buy BCM uppers again. The price difference is a big factor, and the MUR, although VERY nice, is twice the cost. I was more focused on the barrel.

    Op, I've owned monolithic systems (LMT MRP) and it made absolutely no difference for my uses. BCM is hard to beat. Vltor has some great stuff but I don't have enough experience with the system to comment on it. I think you're good either way, but I'd rather not be married to a rail.

    I have the VLTOR on my noveske and it is a great upper. Looks like a 308 upper,little different look,I'd go BCM upper with a KAC rail.

    Why not get a lower and see how things fit? Is the BCM upper assembled? Never tried a BCM, but the MUR fits nice & snug on my LRB lower.

    You do realize that each upper is just the start of another AR...
