mgcchkn Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) I've been looking around and haven't found what I'm looking for, which totally boggles my mind. A flat top upper with a 16-18 inch barrel, as lightweight as you can get without losing accuracy, with a low profile gas block or railed gas block with a free float handguard. can someone please point me in the right direction? so far all I've found are bull barreled uppers that meet all the rest of the requirements. or is this something I'm going to have to build myself?

jackboyd Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Check out Mid South Tactical uppers: Mid South Tactical Good enough for National Tactical 3-Gun Champion, Taran Butler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Paul's uppers (MSTN) are second to none and he will build anything, any way you want. Another great option is a JP-15 upper. At $1095.00, it's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. JP will do the bbl any weight/length you want and it will shoot sub-moa all day. http://www.jprifles.com/1.2.2.php No matter which way you go with an upper, get a JP trigger put into the lower.

STInky Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Sounds like you want exactly what I just ordered from JP.....18" ultra-light barrel with the Cooley comp, full-length gas system with stainless bolt group, rifle-length free float tube with 12 0'clock rail and lo-pro gas block...... I'll post pics in 3-4 weeks (hopefully) when it comes in !!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 There are any number of sources for 16-18" uppers. Accuracy can be sub-MOA without much work. That said, the companies that I'd recommend are: JP Enterprises Triangle Shooting Sports MSTN Search function will show a ton too. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sestock Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Another option would be DPMS. They now offer an 18" barrel, it is an NM setup, but you can have it fluted. Clark carbon fiber handguard, michluk comp, lo pro upper and you are ready to go. DPMS really supports the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Sad to say that none of the top 4 or 5 manufacturers are building a dedicated 3 gun upper as you describe. Instead, the excellent (though small-volume) custom builders supply uppers/ rifles ready to run. We are just too small of a market to justify the really big names in building a gun for us. Remington built us the "Competition Master" shotgun, but to get it to sell, they had to change the name & marketing to "Tactical" (then it sold like hotcakes). I wish the competition community was more relevant. NOTE: Of the big makers, DPMS offers both USPSA & the general 3gun/multigun community great match support & prizes.

kellyn Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 NOTE: Of the big makers, DPMS offers both USPSA & the general 3gun/multigun community great match support & prizes. As does Sabre Defense who make a racey AR. And never forget Accuracy Speaks in Mesa, AZ (along with the other excellent makers already mentioned).

jhgtyre Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Scott at Tactics is a 3-Gunner and can build whatever you want. I think he even has some 18" uppers in but I could be wrong. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 CMMG also has some 18" barrels and can make you what you want. Sabre's are a nice one also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think a firearms company wouldn't allow such things. The pictures were actually taken while doing training and shooting, we do know better and we don't take phoney pics just for our site. I have alot in stock, but don't advertise on BE as of yet, so i can not divulge in prices on here. so please call if interested in one of our 18" competition uppers.

jobob Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 That JP is very nice! I just shot the Ironman with a POF 18" upper. Function is 100% (so far) and rarely needs cleaning, which is nice for slobs like me who hate to clean guns. It's a little heavy, but the barrel comes fluted (standard) which helps. http://www.pof-usa.com/gaspistonuppers/gaspistonuppers.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure wish I could've won that POF upper they gave away! (or any of the many other rifles or shotguns they gave away!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
