UPPER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MY PRICE RANGE

Featured Replies

Morning all...

 

I'm looking for a fairly decent 5.56 MID LENGTH upper.....but in my price range of 500-600 bucks (or cheaper).

 

This will be a range/plinker but would like to be accurate to at least 150 yards.

 

This will go on a CMMG "MULTI" lower.

 

Any recommendations are appreciated. Or if you are looking to get rid of one, hit me up if it fits my needs.

 

Thanks

James

Bought mine from jse surplus with all the fixings I wanted for less then 600. Have a 1000 round with not one issue threw it

Do you have a link to the one you purchased?

This is what I have. Still under your budget with the Plus Package (I highly recommend it) I have the upgraded hand guards though. They will make it ban compliant for free.

 

Super happy with it, have several thousand rounds through it. Others will say how Stag isnt a top quality manufacturer. I would stand behind this with my life.

brake is already pinned, all you'd need to do would be to grind the bayo lug

 

 

Good luck finding this one, this sold out pretty quickly the last run about 4-5 months ago. Believe me you aren't the only one looking and waiting for this to come back in stock.(because I am one of them waiting for this as well)

 

Unless you are patient, hold out for that one. I believe a few guys on here have the same upper.

Stag Arms makes a great product that is priced well.

buy BCM...their quality is worth it

 

Couldn't agree more with that statement. For a bit less palmetto state armory does pretty good uppers. My buddy has one and it's a nice shooter.

To the guys who said STAG. The OP said MIDLENGTH. check your specs..

 

And Boomstick.. why do you want a midlength??

 

(( DON'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION!! ))

Yup - I got that one - it's awesome. Well worth the money. Just make sure you grind off that bayo lug

Don't hold your breath OP, I've been waiting like four months to be notified when this is back in stock.

So what's making the Spike's uppers so popular? Price? Logo?

I got an offer to purchase a Daniel Defense 14.5 middy, 1:7 with a pinned Battle Comp 1.5 with a couple extras for just above what my stated budget is. I might go for that.

Brand new or used? I'd say go for it if it's new.

 

"Less than 200 rounds with no issues"

What handguard? Flip sights? Comes with BCG? If so then it sounds like a decent deal.

 

It's got a mid moe on it which I like better anyways. Front fixed, rear flip up, magpul afg2, DD BCG, DD charging handle.

Do it

 

I think I am. Now all I need is a stock set up. I was thinking about the new Magpul A2 stock since we can't adjust them anyways. Anyone have a stock set up laying around that needs a home on a DD AR?

I picked up the same Spikes upper from Aim. Add your name to the notification list at Aim. I got mine last month and only had to wait a couple of weeks before they had them back in stock.
