Lightweight 14.5 Upper For Ar Style Rifle

Featured Replies

I dunno y I didn't order this upper when AIM had sale on it , with 10% off it was $500 plus free shipping. Now they are sold out. Anybody knows where I can find the same or similar upper (14.5 plus 1.5 muzzle break lightweight upper ).

Thank you .

I ordered that exact upper.. and while i have not shot it yet.. seems really nice for the money.. got it on that black friday sale as well.. (not to rub it in)

I forgot to say that I too have that same upper from AIM, got mine back in May, only put a couple hundred rds through it so far and couldnt be happier with it.

Do you know it weight by any chance ?

My whole rifle weighs < 6.5lbs unloaded, and < 7lbs with the micro dot on it. Not sure of the wieght of just the upper, prob right around 4.25lbs though.

Still searching. Nobody selling even close to that price :/

Mite have to go with a different upper. Prob gonna buy used, but then again I'm not in a rush.

BCM has a lightweight middy 14.5 inch in stock right now. They do perm attach comps, and offer them as list items, and I would guess you could call them and ask if they can have it done on the stock uppers.

 

If you want a different BCM, most of their desirable stuff is always out of stock. But, if you email them, they will give you a pretty damn good estimate of when it will be in. It's usually a month or less on high demand items. You have to sign up for notification and jump within a day or two when they email you that it's in stock. It's really not that much of a wait or that hard.

 

I fired DA's BCM middy. It was smooth as silk, but the rate of fire was a tad too slow for me. I shoot FA most of the time. If I shot SA exclusively, I would take it in a heartbeat. Smooth as silk.

BCM has the 14.5" Middy in HF and Lightweight for $489 and instock.. $598 with PWS556 pinned on..

For future planning, keep in mind that PWS comps have changed in style, and the old ones and new ones work with different cans if you leave NJ. I don't know the details, don't shoot the messenger, check the website if it matters to you. Pinning a comp (especially a $100+ comp) should be an informed decision IMO.

Roger. This is gonna my 2nd AR and I was actually thinking about building a 14.5" + 1.5" piston driven super light rig. But the lack of standardized parts for gas piston sys is what stopping me.... and the price tag as well. I guess I'm gonna stick with the original design :) Still searching...
