A2 Upper

[Mooseman]

I just finished my first AR lower build. I have decided that I want to put an A2 upper on this. I am not interested in building an upper. I want to buy a complete A2 upper. Does anybody have any recommendations or any to avoid? Are there any hot deals out there right now? Thanks for your help.

I second this. However, I haven't found any uppers from them with a fixed carry handle. I'm pretty sure that they are all flat top uppers. But you could always add the carry handle.

Model 1 Sales has then in any config you can imagine.

3rd for BCM though.

I'm looking for a fixed carry handle. I already have a flat top with a detachable carry handle.

When I was searching for an A2 upper, I didn't find too many companies selling them.

Model 1: the price is good but I saw a bunch of bad reviews and only a few folks saying that they didn't have any issues with it. Maybe someone that has one can chime in.

White Oak Armament: I've read nothing but good reviews and the price is right too but their lead time was so backed up that they stopped taking orders for their Service Rifle Uppers.

I ended up paying for a Colt A2 upper from Autoweapons.com. It was pricey, but available.

I would love to try it out. I am not an AR snob. I have a DPMS Oracle and I love it. Hurry up here soon. We need a visit from the Eastern branch of the Hooligans anyhow.

I should also add that the picture had the bolt carrier group and charging handle in it, but it does not come with either. And the owner types in all caps, all the time, don't take it personally.

Buck even though you said you dont want to build an upper... why not build one? There not overcomplicated, and you wont have to set headspace.

You should check the headspace for safety issues. If its out of spec, then its a barrel machining issue.

Thanks, I will check them out. Do you know anything about their quality?

I checked out the site that you recommended. I could not find any A2 uppers. Maybe I missed them, that site is very hard to navigate. Thank you anyhow.

Haven't purchased from them personally but have spoken with several ppl that have over on cmp boards never heard of any issues.

Building just seems like too much of a hassle to me. I may not have much of a choice though. If only I could find a Hooligan that wants to sell one.

You can buy them on rock rivers website, just for craps and giggles I called their sales dept today and they will ship uppers to md. They just will not ship lowers. The prices are on the up side but I've had good luck with their product. I'm thinking about getting a mid length a2 upper myself.
