va_bank 0 Posted November 18, 2016 Hi All, wondering if anyone has seen or bought this upper. Bud's seems to be the only place that has it, so I'm a little wary... I'm looking for a sub -$500 upper and would order this today if I had some point of reference on its quality. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/411555895/Emperor+Firearms+5.56+NATO+AR-15+Upper Thank you in advance! va_bank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted November 18, 2016 I would stay away. Unknown maker... Emperor Firearms Upper Assembly 5.56x45 Nato 1:8 twist rate. Pistol Length Direct Impingement Gas Does Not include Bolt, bolt carrier, or charging handle Barrel 1:8 twist 4150 Chrome-moly You could grab a complete upper from PSA for around 500 and the quality will be worlds better. Or check up on arfcom's EE. They always have uppers for sale. Lots of better options elsewhere... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecessedFilter 222 Posted November 18, 2016 Dozens of better uppers from quality manufacturers around that price and a little more. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatty 241 Posted November 18, 2016 Their premium uppers are best but that should be fine. Just remember you need a bcg, charging handle, and backup sights. Keep an eye out for sales. Psa, bcm, spikes tactical, rra, etc are all good Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
