OK, I have gotten to the point where I am going to do it. It is more than likely going to be a 20" (told you I'd change), to supplement my increasingly growing collection of US Service rifles. After playing with some carbines and rifles, I decided I much prefered the rifle.
Can anyone give me some other Upper/kits makers, or are the ones above pretty much it?
Right now, I see:
Model 1 Sales (somewhat iffy quality, but more on the good side than bad)
M-A (stay away)
CMMG Inc (link doesn't work)
LMT (any link? Heard that they are a gov't contractor?)
And the regulars DPMS, Colt (any kits at all?), Armalite and Bushmaster.
I was also looking at Fulton Armory, are they any good? I really like the Vietnam-style upper, although I was told the 1-12 is limited to 55, so that is probably out. Anywhere else I can find the Vietnam-style upper, but with faster twist?
Does DPMS make pre-assembled kits? I see they have kits, but the uppers are not assembled, and that is not something I want to jump into yet.
Or even better, does the gov't sell off surplus M16 parts? It would just be fantastic if I could get something built up prety much on surplus US parts.
