What can you all tell me about Hesse AR15s I picked one at the Des Moines gun show today. Seems to be built well the upper and lower fit nice and tight. Just wondering what you all thought on there quality. Thanks for any info |

I havent ever heard anything good about hesse's, also based on previous post and picture. I strongly suggest buying a decent lower for about $90 & 86 that hesse lower . h.gif BS |

Is it the plastic upper and lower? If it is just upgrade it peice by peice buy keep the lower. Buy a bushmaster upper receiver w/ barrel combo and bolt down the road. Upgrade the buttstock to a Vltor or something cool later as well. Sell the old upper and telestock... After replacing the upper and stock their shouldnt be too much that hesse could have screwed up. If the lower parts group gives you trouble replace it with a 60 buck pack from bushmaster. |
| I haven't heard anything bad about the Hesse Kevlar lowers (that is when they actually are made right). Some have had lowers with the holes drilled incorrectly and mispositioned. However, those that are made right sem to be holding up just fne. I have heard of the uppers crakcing and splitting, though. I think the lower should be just fine, but a plastic upper has always made me nervous. There's too much going on in and around trhe barrela nd cahmber for me to trust it. The lower doesn't see that much stress from firing the weapon, but the upper... Well, let's just say I'd replace it with an aluminum one if it were me. |
