Stay away unless you like to pay more. spend the extra 30-40 bucks and pick up a quality Upper!!!!!! I was Lied to. Chrome molly my butt .. DO not be lied to who sells a blued barrel on a ar upper????? I have dumped around 600$ to fix what this guy sold me……. Stay away. Not safe and not good Quality .
For what it's worth, anyone thinking about ard. I say go for it. I bought one despite what these guys are saying in the comments and I haven't been disappointed yet! I sent Rick an email about my order and he responded within the hour from his iPhone. The guy cares about doing business despite what you read on the elitist forums. It fit my spikes lower perfect and has performed beyond my expectations. If you're just starting out and are looking for an affordable upper, get an ard.
My ARD upper 5.56 shoots great and no problems after one year. I couldn't buy any other uppers during the gun grab except ARD! When I first built my gun the bolt wouldn't stay open after the last shot and thought it was the upper. My friends are cops and active duty military, they told me my buffer or mags were causing the problem. I bought a UTG buffer (Made in USA) and I haven't had any other issues even when I shoot cheap Bear ammo! I installed a Fail Zero BC and I don't even use any lube now. I bump fire as fast as I can and it has never failed! Not bad for a $650 upper….
