Thank you so much tho those who helped me in my previous port. Based on your oppinions I have decided to go ahead and get a new upper.
I like two choices:
A. BCM 16" Carbine Upper reciever group [I am choosing the 16" instead of 14.5" because I never want to have the problem with a pinned muzzle brake again] BCM or LMT BCG, the LaRue low profile gas block, LaRue 12" handguard, and Troy front/rear folding BUIS. Buy the parts as they become available, and assemble them myself. Saves roughly $150 over option B. I am not afraid of the assembly, seems strait forward.
B. Order the complete LaRue Tactical Stealth Sniper System upper which will come with the same handguard and gas block. Also get the same Troy front/rear sights and call it a day. Pin it to my lower and go shooting.
Dillo dust is dry rub for your bbq ribs. It’s one of the things you get when you order from Larue, other things are: baseball cap, dillo bottle opener and bumper sticker.
I am all about saving $$$ I also agree it’s more fun to make it yourself. On the other hand all it takes is some ding dong to mention a ban or that firearms are bad etc. This tends to send people into a buying panic frenzy and the capitalists come out in full force. So if you can get the parts now. You have the parts. If you wait, you may get the parts , you might not, or you’ll have to pay a premium for the same parts. Are you a gambler??
I have a LaRue stealth upper as well as a complete BCM upper. I think your choice depends on your intended use. If you are looking for more of a precision, lower round count rifle, I would go LaRue. Otherwise, BCM. The main differences here are the barrels: the LaRue is SS whereas BCM is chrome-lined. I believe the BCM BCGs are built a little better as well.
Excelent points from all. I think you are helping me make a choice.
Simply going by past experiences, I have had my current AR for about a year now, and when I think about it, I have shot under 1000 rounds through it.
I would love to have the most accurate setup posible and aspire to be able to use it to its full potential. I do not see myself going through 15,000 rounds in the next few years. Ammo is not cheap, and in NJ there are simply not as many places to shoot.
I do however see myself joining a gun club so I can shoot 100-300 yards with some good optics. Which how this entire thing began.
When I go to the range, I will go through 100 rounds TOPS on the AR! I bring my pistol, and my AK, let my GF/Mom/Dad/Friends have a go for a few rounds at each and so on. We stay for about an hour then go home.
I think having said that, the LaRue setup seems to be the right choice for me, unless I am missing something. If this was a service weapon, I would imagine myself going for the BCM Upper.
Thanks guys! Unless someone thinks I am wrong, I will order the La Rue tomorrow
Sounds like a good choice, especially since you don’t run them hard and are looking for accuracy. Be prepared for a 10 week wait on your LaRue, but well worth it.
