Well, I'm starting my mk12 build soon. I was able to get a  deal on a stag complete lower from a friend, just need to pick it up from his house in phoenix.

Now, its time for the 18" rifle upper. I was thinking CMMG. I don't wanna spend more then 750 on the upper itself (aside from everything else). I'm just worried for the wait time.

Any suggestions other then CMMG? I would just buy a complete ACDO mod 0 upper but I can't afford the whole upper all at one time.

or I was just going to buy an acog ta01nsn for my current ar, but i might as well get the 2nd one done while i still can.

If money were no object, then I'd get at least a Noveske. Otherwise the CMMG will work, but don't expect magnificent groups with it.

With a $750 budget, you will ok with the CMMG, but You'll be cutting it close.

I'd go 850 if there is a big enough difference.

Get a WOA barrel.


Also its not a MOD 0 if it doesnot have all the parts.
A MOD 0 is NOT cheap to build.

It would be easier to make a MOD 1 clone with out using the expensive
KAC parts and still get the same basic look.

You cant copy a MOD 0 with other parts.

You can NOT build any mk12 upper for 850.00.
Maybe a Recce but not a mk12.

Also look into the Sabre Defense 18in barrels.
PKfirearms used to sell a 18in Sabre barrel,upper reciver and 12 or 13.5 troy rail for about 750 with out BC/CH

I know, I'm doing it peice by peice...

i PLAN for it to cost, in the end, about 3550$

I'll rephrase my actual question, to clarify this. I'm just buying the complete rifle now, to buy peice for peice as I go.

After the upper comes the PRI gen III free float forearm, then the ARMS PEQ rail, and PRI front sight, then the OPS brake/collar and so on.

can anyone recommend an 18 inch rifle upper for 750-850? that has the possibility of not taking 5 months to get to me? (not a complete mod 0 upper, just stock)
