Inspired by another thread I saw asking if the stripped lowers were GTG, and Garand Thumbs PSA upper video....has anyone ran a complete upper (or rifle) to failure?
How many rounds until their bolt or barrel starts to go? I've got two of their uppers and three of their bcgs and I'm wondering just how much "better" they are over something like PSA. |

Receiver is Aero. Good receivers, but I would skip on their cerakote options as they don’t anodize under their cerakote.
Handguard is Aero. Good handguards, but again, I’d skip the color options. Barrel is Ballistic Advantage; not great not terrible. BCGs could be anyone… I don’t think Aero or BA makes their own BCG. Toolcraft? I think given typical prices I’d still rather choose a PSA Premium upper with a CHF/CL and the Premium Phos/CL BCG. |

I'm not a fan of Aero/BA barrels...the couple I've had were not great, terrible actually, and would never use one again, no matter the model or configuration.
