I am just starting my first ever build. I have the LPK and will be picking up my stripped lower today (this afternoon). Where I am getting stuck is exactly what upper I want to use. This rifle is going to be dedicated for a medium range gun, for hunting/targeting. I know for sure I want a flat top upper, with atleast a 20 inch barrel. the barrel has to be black (coated, not Stainless) and I want a free float hand gaurd.
I know DPMS makes something in the ball park, but who else can I choose from. Who is going to be the best bang for my buc Who is going to be the fastest to get one in when I can actually get the upper. Or, is it simpler and faster to get a kit and build the entire upper? Thanks, dsmitty |

I appreciate the info guys, Im thinking those are a little over my budget right now. I am looking to spend anywhere up to 800 on one.. Cant afford anything more right now http://www.del-ton.com/Rifle_Kit_p/rkt102.htm The entire 20" rifle kit with chrome lined barrel and YHM lightweight freefloat rail are only $618 by my calculations. |

Don't go over 20" if your using this as a hunting rifle. My first AR was a Bushy Varminter with the 24" barrel. Anything over 20" gets to be too long and heavy. With that said, I now have two 16" carbines to choose from as my go-to rifles. They are MUCH easier and nicer to carry around. My bushy is pretty much my designated bench and plinking rifle.
Also, check out Spike's complete uppers, not too much more than what you are looking to spend. |
