Accidentally On Purpose the BEST AR15 Upper I ever built
The Best AR15 Upper? It sure is. Firing it feels smooth and refined. And the FUNNY thing is that this is what I call Accidentally on Purpose. What do I mean by that? Well, I had this idea back around Christmas that I wanted to build a rifle centered around a #CriterianBarrels Core Series barrel (16" mid-length gas system). I wanted this to be special and give it every chance it could to be long lasting and accurate. Criterian offers matched bolts so I knew that I had to go that route. And since the Core Series has a tapered barrel and therefor is lighter, I had to get a light gas block. In came the Superalitive Arms Titanium gas block. This thing weighs nothing! I didn't enjoy paying for it, which is the only down side. But it works great!
So that was the basis of the upper that I wanted to build at some point. Then I bought the #AntimatterIndustries ScopeSwitch...and I had nothing to put it on. All I can say is that it is a good thing that I like to collect parts because I could build the Best AR15 upper! #BravoCompanyUSA upper receiver, #RadianWeapons charging handle, and #LantacUSA Dragon muzzle completed the deal. I had these lying around waiting for something and that something came around.
This magical combination of parts turned into the best upper receiver that I ever built. Smooth cycling and flat!! Just very refined. You pay for performance sometimes but I have a feeling that this one will be with me for a long time.
