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.

Thank you in advance!

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...

Dozens of better uppers from quality manufacturers around that price and a little more.

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
