1911vm Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hey all. Just need some suggestions. I am putting together 2 identical memorial ARs for my brother who past 2 years ago, one for me and one for my nephew . I am all set with lowers now I am starting on uppers. at first I was just going to get 2 upper's from BCM. Than stated thinking if there is a better way to go by building them. my budget is 2K for both. looking for nothing to heavy but accurate. any suggestions would be apricated . Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Check out Aero components. Primary Arms is currently having a sale on them. They even have a 16” complete upper for $499. https://www.primaryarms.com/brand/aero-precision complete upper. https://www.primaryarms.com/aero-precision-m4e1-threaded-barreled-upper-556-mid-length-atlas-r-one-16 Edited May 4 by George16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpeltier Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I personally would stick with the BCM. I have used most of the hand guards out there in building the AR platform over more than 20 years. BCM MCMR-15 is my favorite for a 16" barrel. Either build or buy a complete BCM upper for those guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 thank you. that's the direction I am going with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantiwar Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Slr stripped uppers plus handguards are really nice. They are very lightweight in comparison. I would steer clear from Aero given their recent QC issues. Bcm functions veey well. You can also look at lmt/noveske but might not be within the stated budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 definitely not in budget. I wish . lmt/noveske would be awesome but they are 50% and up more than BCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantiwar Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Agreed. Bcm would be your best bet. Ive also read a few having issues with DD. So bcm and whatever is left you can get optics or ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
