how much should i expect to pay for an upper? i found a complete lower for 225 new and now i'm on the hunt for an upper. im not gettin an ak cause of the safety and because of the accuracy, but im worried about the maintenance for the ar. Is it complicated to maintain them?

no, it shouldnt take more than 10 min to maintain. look around, if your going to go the 20 inch route, youll need a rifle lower with a non collapsible stock. if not, then you ca get whatever kind of upper you want.

if not a 20" barrel, get a MIDLENGTH 16" upper, it will provide you with a slightly longer sight radius, more accurate until (if) you choose a scope.

there are plenty of good ones, but i prefer bravo company, a little more expensive, but not much more at all considering the quality ad customer service and testing they do on each and every one. you could have a top flight ar for about 8-900.

the 16" midlength,

make sure to add the bolt and carrier group, theirs is great, all else youd need is handguards and a rear sight, the magpul option is nice at like 40$

one more question, what is a lo-pro upper? it looks like it has no unjam button

It is slang for A3 or flat top upper receiver.

You really need to check out the AR15 forum. you can find all teh answers you need in about 15 minutes .

I think I finally found one but im not sure on the upper so I need some opinions

heres the links

http://www.rguns.net/rifles/rifles-semiauto-ar15-uppers-556-16Inch.shtml - upper (the lo-pro for 350)

it wouldnt be my first choice. barrel not threaded, carbine gas and no foreward assist.

ok so is the lower okay? and i checked the forum but it wont let me register cause i have a gmail address, anyway any reccomendations for an upper under 400?

How about the CMMG bargain bin?

no thanks its just kind of a toss up on what your gonna get and its to expensive

I have yet to hear any negatives on the CMMG guns. Mine was cherry.

I bought 3 Sharps lowers last month. They look as good or better than any I've bought in the past - Bushmaster, EA, DPMS. I'm tempted to buy more.

Here's my current build using the chrisboc group buy.

lower $68 (Sharps)
stock $65 (DPMS)
LPK $50 (DPMS)
Upper complete $350 Delton.chrisboc
---------------------------
$533

My CMMG Upper in 6.8 SPC shoot very well and appears to be of very nice quality.
