Looks nice so far. What are you thinking for BUIS? Magpul low profile?

Looks good so far, I like it.  How do you like their uppers and lowers?  Was thinking about grabbing a set for a future build.

I am most likely going with some sort of 45* offset. I don't like how most 45* BUSs stick up so i may experiment with a pair of 45* rails and toss some MBUS or wait till the new MBUS come to market (if they havent already)

Well this is a HUUCR set so I expected there to be a blem or some fitment issues. The only blem i can see on this is that there is a slight error in the milling of one of the logos (not completely centered) They feel pretty solid. Nicer than some of the other's i've had my hands on. They feel a little lighter if that makes any sense. They fit very nicely together, there is no wiggle in the receiver and the parts kit fit in nicely. No problems with any parts install.

 

would i recommend them? Yes.. if you can get a set from Umbrella itself. Don't fall victim to these guys on GB selling receiver sets for over $400-500. I mean they are nice and have that POP culture Zombie culture appeal to them but they are not worth the exaggerated price that some charge for them. I got them because it's not something you see every weekend at the range and paid less than $400 per set.

 

I have  one more HUUCR set I'm using for a 300blk build and have a Billet lower and Standard upper on order for another build i plan on doing down the road.

 

If you can get your hands on a set cheap go for it!

 

side note: i REALLY like the feel of the Umbrella grips. The angle of the grip allows me to keep my elbow in and not feel like i have strain on my wrist. I'll be ordering a few more for the other builds.
