Nice budget complete AR uppers?

[Hoss]

@NWS he LOVES bear Creek arsenal. Just ask him.

Who?

The rest of that rifle is a bad mamba jamba. With all the AR parts I really don’t care about the stripped lower whatsoever. As long as it’s in spec that’s all that matters.

I am just thinking out loud, but have you ever personally ran any of the above mentioned uppers?

Yeah. Sota and aero. Sold you my aero lol.

Yeah. Sota and aero. Sold you my aero lol.

Still haven't shot that one yet. There are some decent cheap uppers that I have ran. Hardened arms being one of them, they even have quality customer service.

It shoots great. Loves federal 55gr poly tipped, the cheapos.

Sota complete lowers, Primary Arms complete uppers and Aero stripped uppers. All have run well with no issues.

I am a fan of SOTA arms. I’ve used two barrels and one complete upper from them with no issues. The finish is very basic but they run well.

I still think PSA makes a decent budget upper if you can find one in your desired spec and catch it on sale.

I would stay away from Bear Creek / Moore Machine. Had one of their barrels five or six years ago and it was a mess. Plenty of horror stories out there if you google.

Have no experience with Hardened Arms.

Hardened arms and bear creek arsenal. I will try to remember some others

Eww. Eww. Ewww. Eww. Hell to tha fuck no on those

Hard to beat Ballistic Advantage for s budget. Aero uses a lot of their barrels, so would give a go to them as well.

By the way, what is your definition of "budget?"

Really. I can honestly say my hardened arms uppers have been good for me.

I'll check out ballistic advantage. My 300blk upper has a ballistic advantage barrel in it and it seems to be good quality.

Looking to stay in the $200-$300 price range.

You have to be present for your opinion to count.

You got me a present? How thoughtful

Um yeah. Just gotta find it, wherever it is I put it.

Which one was the 7.62 barrel fubared on?

 

[Cudruln]

Hardened arms. Sent it to them and was unable to determine any issue with it. They ended up replacing the barrel.

I have 300 blackout and 7.62x39 uppers by Hardened Arms and both function just fine.
