colt 18" CRP upper worth it?

[steviesterno]

Hey all,

I have a chance to pick up a Colt CRP 18" barreled upper pretty cheap (or trade an M&P for it) and I'm wondering if it's any good? It is the one without the samson rail (the brand I prefer) but I really like the barrel fluting, it has little dashes though it. It comes with a comp and adjustable gas.

I already have a jp barreled gun I built I love, so this won't replace it. But it may be built into my wife's range blaster or a general scoped AR for myself or the kiddo.

Just wondering if this is something I can't pass up. I can't seem to find who makes the barrel, but I was reading some good things about it.

I shot the Colt CRP-18 Pro in 2014 and 2015, which had a cycling issue at first. I resolved it by ditching the finger adjustable 24 position gas block and replacing it with a Seekins. After that the gun ran like a dream, the barrel shoots ~1 MOA with my 69gr load, and I have no complaints. It's a very capable rifle.

I agree with moltke. I have one, it is very accurate , no issues other than the chamber is cut on the tight side. I have to run small base circle dies

Wait is this trade for an MP rifle or MP pistol?

M&P pistol. range kit, so a few mags and an OWB holster.

I think thats a pretty solid deal, good find

Steve, did you end up with the upper and what do think after shooting it?
