First AR!

I had a very good friend give me a new lower today. It is a forged milspec lower made by Seekins precision.

I am now looking into what I want for a upper.

Cool....what type of shooting do you want to do. After all the uppers I bought/built/sold I ended up in the end really liking to shoot service rifle with my A2 national match rifle.
I ended up with a nm rifle, standard A2, built a clone of RRA varmint gun and my 22lr AR upper. The tactical stuff was not for me. I was lucky enough to brake even on all my tactical style stuff!

I would like something similar to the M4 I had in the Army.

I can't stop looking at all my options for this. I think this lower is o.k for 308 also.

There are many calibers you can build with that, but 308 will need the ar10 lower. Not only is the magwell bigger for the ar10 but I believe they are a little more stout (could be wrong about that).

I really like the Troy industries CQB uppers.

Does Troy Make uppers now, maybe assembles uppers with their guards? I thought they just made hand guards, I may be wrong. If you want one of the better uppers (that's in stock) in CQB mode I'd go for a BCM Upper in Carbine length @14.5''

Some people don't like the 14.5'' uppers, but it will come with a pinned muzzle device so that you don't have to deal with that before assembling the rifle.

That is a nice upper. The Troy upper is made in house and comes complete with the bolt carrier group hand guards and muzzle device. They are around $1200.

If you need to comply with MA AWB, check Stag Arms. They have a railed 14.5" upper that can be factory-Massified. I called to make sure it got the ban treatment when I ordered mine. Enjoy!

Windham Weaponry sells MA compliant uppers, and they are having a sale right now. 10% off, Free Shipping, and a $25 gift certificate for select complete uppers.

The 10% and Free Shipping are sitewide, the gift cert is just for complete uppers.

Oh, Nice I had no idea they went past hand guards / accessories. The BCM upper I showed its everything except the charging handle (VLTOR cooperation) and BCG would likely be right around $1200 shipped and you'll be supporting a company started by a Veteran.

Other then BCM or LMT I think the only well known company people will agree upon to be better would be Noveske but good luck finding their uppers in stock. Unless of course you're going for a match grade rifle... in which case I can't help you too much.
