| I was wondering what ya'll think of the slick side sportical upper receiver. I like the look and if one was only bench shooting or just getting into black rifle this maybe a good choice. the simplicity of no forward assist or ejection port cover makes it a no frills rifle. I've been looking at every upper i can find for my build and this is not likely one of my choices i was just courious. Please don't go all brand loyalist just go off the look and function of it. So let me know thanks |

So let me know thanks It is extruded, which is a weaker method of manufacturing. In addition, it is fairly heavy. They had to make it thicker to compensate for the weaker material. There are better choices IMHO. |

Quoted: Those are freaking sweet hows the recoil going to be on that 6.8 With the delrin+rubber bumper I put in the buffer hole plug, probably not that bad. The 5.56 is soft as a marshmallow  .One of the lowers will have a folding (ACE with custom buffer plug) or retractable (Nordic) stock soon, when I get on the ball and get some Form1's out... |

Quoted: I figured without the buffer it would be more jarring but that must be a fun pistol Less weight because of the lack of buffer, but it's a carbine gas port on 10" and 11" barrels and the weight removed from the carrier is mostly recovered in the weight of the extended 3/8" diameter gas key that also acts as an action spring guide under the handguard. So yes it's got less total dynamic mass, but it's not overgassed and has a soft bumper to absorb the impulse, so it all balances out pretty well. Sooner or later I'll get a video up of me shooting the 5.56 pistol, haven't gotten around to taking one. |

IIRC the top rail is slightly higher than a standard A3 upper, so won't match perfectly with top of railed forearms. the ones I have seen were just fine and the rigs were accurate, i definitely wouldn't say it was a weak part. I have never even seen a picture of a broken one, unlike cast Oly uppers and various carbon fiber.
