From an accuracy standpoint what is the best complete 204 upper made? Sabre? D-Tech? LMT? Do they make one? Who? Please tell me, I want to order one. Thanks. |
Depends on who you want to go with, Randall Rouche of ar15barrels.com makes a premium upper, but hes all custom and is backlogged I am sure. Clark Custom out of Fla does 204 uppers and rifles, so does Les Baer I believe. Both reputable for accuracy. I THINK DPMS offers a 204 but Id have to double check, yep there do www.dpmsinc.com/firearms/firearm.aspx?id=1, LMT DOES NOT to my knowldge. There are a few more who do, and of course the custom guys will do one for you, the price is the limit really. |
How about Accuracy Systems? I'm pretty sure they make a .204 Ruger upper/rifle as well... EDIT - Yep, they sure do. Guarantee 1/2 MOA for most of the setups as well. EDIT2 - ER Shaw makes uppers as well. |
Sure wish this would take off....be nice to have a boat load of factory loaded ammo...imo |
LMT makes a 204 barrel for their MRP system. I've not seen a full upper from them in 204 however. I have the MRP 5.56 and 6.8SPC and have thought about getting a 204 barrel as well. |

Man there are a lot of choices out there. Initially I was goig to just buy an upper and swap it on my Sabre Defence SPR but now I think I am gong to just build an entire gun. I called Noveske today and they said they do build .204 barrels and uppers (not on web site and is a "custom" product). They are going to shoot me a price on a 1:10 twist 204 upper as well as a price on a full custom Noveske 204 rifle. Can't wait to see that price. What would be a good lower to start with? (leaning toward LMT Defender w/ SOPMOD and 2 stage) I am going to be off work for three months for some surgery and I am thinking about doing two seperate build projects; first one being a 204 that I will most likely buy a complete lower and a complete upper, I know, not much to assymble right... this one will be high(er) end second I think I will tackle a complete build and buy a quality stripped lower and put it all together. Not sure what I want this one to be though as I have a Sabre Defence SPR, and I'll have the quality 204 done. Maybe a short barreled 6.8SPC carbine? Sorry I am babbling but I am going to need a couple of projects while I am off so I need to start collecting parts. I may start a new "ametuer 1st build surgery thread" On this 204 upper I think I am down to; Accuracy Systems - ASI match $1179 Noveske - $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ White Oak - Around $800 Sabre Defence - $711 from Jenson Arms Does that about sum up the good choices that I have? |
How about an Anvil Arms lower (or the Spike's GB that is opening up sometime soon, I think)? Not like you can go wrong with those folks... |

Another option...lotsa .204s beginning to appear model1sales.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=UV24204R&storeid=1&image=uvar24204ru.gif |
He already has a few 204 barrels made, we are just fine tuning the tube handgurad details etc. They were supposed to call back yesterday but did not. Their customer service could be better..... |
PK Firearms has the same setup... http://www.pkfirearms.com/store/get_items.aspx?type=0&term=106 |

Noveske .204 upper w/ 24" 1:10 twist bull barrel is ordered and should be on the way next week. Now for the lower..... I am thinking LMT defender with SOPMOD and two stage trigger. He quoted me a full rifle but I can build it with an LMT a few hundred cheaper. Cool - I'm pumped. |
Changed my order today, complete Noveske .204 rifle is on order... |
Make sure to get us pics when you have it. That way I can justify to my wife why I need to spend another $1,800~ish on a gun...
