I was wanting another 22 LR AR-15 upper and I couldn’t assemble an upper cheaper than I could buy an upper from Right to Bear. This upper has been gtg and I really like it. I don’t notice any difference in weight between my 16” CMMG with plastic A-2 style hand guard.
This is my most recently purchased 22 LR AR-15. The upper is from Right to Bear, the lower is one I assembled with LaRue MBT 2S. There is a fifteen round BDM mag in the well.
Below is a picture of a CMMG complete upper I bought in about 2008 and paired to a lower I assembled. There is a CMMG 25 round mag in the well and has a RRA NM trigger.
