Building a new .223 SBR

Post by Hairy78 » Sun Oct 26, 2008 11:08 pm

Guys, I am looking for opinions on an upper for a new SBR AR 15. I have been leaning towards the Larue Stealth upper, but the shortest it comes in is 12.5. I would like to build one in 10.5 if possible. Do any of you guys have any suggestions on a reliable upper? Especially considering I never intend on shooting it unsupressed.

Thanks

I had Adco chop a 16" and it works fine. I have a buddy that bought a cheap A1 Sales 10.5 at Knob Creek this year and somewhat surprisingly, it also works fine.

I use a regular Bushmaster 11.5 inch. It works fine.
Resistance is mandatory.

To be loved and resptected is desireable. To be feared will work also.

Do you carry the pigs? I was going to order one from Brownelles once I had a large enough order to pay for the shipping.
