Here’s a C7 upper
https://www.tntesales.com/a1-11-5-commando-lite-1-7-upper/ Look around TNTEsales for in stock options. Back orders will take months to fill, but if they say in stock they mean it now. ETA: here’s their BD upper https://www.tntesales.com/10-3-5-56-nato-1-7-a1-blood-diamond-style-upper/ |

What does a basic carry handle upper cost these days? Would be great to throw on my spare SBR for a truck gun.

The poor experience I had with them had nothing to do with shipping times and everything to do with their customer service when there was a problem. There are plenty of other companies out there that will deliver a good product and not scream at their customers on the phone when something goes wrong with the order. I'd advise others to seek out those alternative companies. |

Once my M4/Gordon can EF4 comes back and I paint the rifle I'm going to make a point of getting some into the iron sight channel to knock down the reflections of the front sight I can see on the inside walls when I drop my head down to get a sight picture with the irons. |

For the MP5 module - Ebay or Wish or....? Price? I'm using an A2 upper a buddy had in his parts bin. Have another buddy looking for ARMS #2 mount. Barrel, A1 grip, skinny A2 handguards, and H&R carbine stock are en route already. Was extremely lucky and snagged one of the LE trade in Aimpoint Pro's from Aimsurplus earlier this week. Light is literally the only piece I need to sort out now....unless my buddy with the ARMS #2 ends up not being able to find it. |
