PCC Stripped Upper Receiver Suggestions?

[jkrispies]

I’m building another PCC upper and have liked my previous TACCOM receivers... and the price is right.  It never hurts to ask for alternate suggestions though.  My only criteria is I’m looking for a slick side, but being a lefty I wouldn’t mind a brass deflector if it was in the correct spot for a PCC.  Brass in my face has never been a problem, though, so that’s a low priority.  Pretty angles are fine, but no skeleton cuts for me. I thought this one from AR-Stoner looked promising but it says no back orders:  https://www.midwayusa.com/product/197087/ar-stoner-enhanced-billet-upper-receiver-stripped-ar-15-9mm-luger-45-acp-aluminum-matte. Thanks, J

DTF industries makes a slick slide upper and they are 35% off with discount code BOOM2019 right now.

For the same amount, you can get both a slick-slide billet upper and a hand guard, on sale and in stock....

How much is that showing up in 15" for you?  I have B-day pricing available and it is $99 for me.

Anderson. $47. Look around. Some places carry them a little cheaper sometimes.

That one is actually pretty nice.  Wonder how long that code will last.

You already said the Taccom, The Anderson is ok, a great cheaper one is the Aero Precision 6.5 oz slick side upper

Yep, $99 for the 15" combo.

 

+1 on the forged Aero as well, got one on sale a while back.

I would buy the anderson PA usually has them on sale. I paid like 27 bucks for mine. 

[Jeff_Alan]

Another for the Anderson.

If I ever build another 

I would probably go with the Aero Precision 

(If I was going low budget, vs a nice billet)

Well, this stinks.  I just tried to put one on my card before the sale ended, and I got an error that sounds like a system error.  I took a screenshot and sent them an email.

FWIW I bought an MPX comp from them and the threading was so bad the barrel nut wouldn't begin to thread and the comp had raised material on the back. They did eventually issue me a refund, but caveat emptor.

Thanks for the headsup.  Turns out tHey are a semi local company to me so if there’s an issue I will be on it.

DTC made it good.  Thanks, everybody!

I took delivery of my DTC receiver today.  Only mocked up so far, but it seems like a good piece so far.
