I bought that LaRue barrel that’s on sale from OpticsPlanet. After I received it, I realized it’s an A3. So I guess I’m looking for an A3 upper receiver now. Does anybody know of any good deals on A3 receivers at the moment?

Does anybody know of any good deals on A3 receivers at the moment? Nope, if you want one you'll definitely have to pay for it, I don't think you'll find any good deals unless you get lucky on EE. I know because I was searching since at least November and the only reliable source that I know, Delton, has been out of stock for months. I finally caved and bought a NOS A3 upper from Sherluk for $150 shipped, it came complete at least. Good quality milspec too but I could've got two Delton's for that price. Hardly any manufacturers these days make A3 uppers no more. I don't get it. They're hard to come by any more it seems. |

Posting a WTB ad in the EE is probably your best bet.

If some folks want to go in and buy several to get the shipping down, I'm open to being involved. |
