Recommendations on a complete upper?

Featured Replies

Assembled my spikes tactical lower this evening and want to complete the rifle with a complete upper and stock. Any recommendations? I'm thinking a 16" middy should be the most desirable, for an all purpose rifle, right? Been checking out a bunch of different sites (PSA, BCM, AimSurplus, etc) tonight but so many choices and it's making my head spin. Looking for something good but also affordable. What do you guys recommend?

was on accessory arms site yesterday. reasonable prices for uppers with the Rainier Arms match barrels. I think he only had the 14.5" up there, but could probably get you the 16" without a problem. i was looking at this, ended up going BCM on an impulse, and feel like i probably overspent in hindsite. the spikes tactical uppers from AIM Surplus are also nice if they have the one you want.

I have a BCM 16" mid length upper and love the thing. The rifle is much more accurate than I'll ever be. If BCM has them in stock snatch it up because they don't last long. Pick up a gunfighter charging handle while you're at it. You can save yourself $30 and order a spikes BCG from AimSurplus. That's what I run in mine.

Tony I have a 14.5" middy from BCM and a 16" middy Noveske if you would like to try them. I will be shooting Saturday at CJ, let me know.

I'm also looking at getting an upper from them for a project this year.

 

Thanks! Never heard of Loki before... I tried doing a search online but can't seem to find much info on them. Their product looks pretty nice though, I have to admit! The prices are pretty reasonable too.

Only problem is that the BCM stuff on AimSurplus isn't NJ compliant, when I looked. Did you see a NJ compliant complete upper there? If so, please send me the link.

I ordered the upper and sent it to Paul at Arms and Ammo. I purchased a YHM phantom brake and sent that with the upper. He permanently installed the brake and shaved the lug for me. Cost me $40 for the work and less than $20 to mail it both ways. Paul got the upper and it was back in my hands in less than a week. BCM will mail you a non-NJ compliant upper. It's just up to you to make it compliant. Give Paul a shout...he may have brakes in stock and you may just be able to have BCM ship it right to him and when he's done he can ship it to you if you're not close enough. Paul is a great guy to deal with. When I'm ready for another firearm I'll definitely be giving him a call!

this is exactly what i did. I bought the upper from BCM and had it shipped directly to Paul along with my battlecomp. he had the comp pinned by the next day. i went to pick it up in person since im close but he did offer to ship it.

Tony I can bring the whole rifle not just the upper. You can try both out and see what you like.
