Re: ar15 upper
gun show seems to be the fastest way to get one, and at times more economical if you have something for trade or cash.
24" barreled uppers at the last gun show I was at were $650 cash and it was $650 plus shipping to order the same setup from anyone else AND you would be on a waiting list!

Re: ar15 upper
I am waiting on a .50 Beowulf upper from Alexander Arms. Built a Rock River lower with a Timney trigger for it. Prob still another 6 months wait on the upper. They are only 45 minutes away from my house, and I gotta wait like that!

Re: ar15 upper
Dont be shocked to wait beyond that 6 months.
I dropped a Timney 3# trigger in my DPMS 24" build and have mounted it to my 16" upper and WOW that trigger is awesome!

Re: ar15 upper
Yeah it is! I put Timneys in both my S&W AR and my RRA lower. I went with the 4 lb. I love that trigger! I've talked to Bill (Alexander) a few times, and I'll prolly get my upper sooner than most. Cool thing is I don't have to have it shipped! I'll just drive down the road and meet Bill at the R.A. gate!

Re: ar15 upper
Here's a crappy pic of my Smith&Wesson MP15t:
The S&W mp15t is basically stag arms with Troy furniture and buis. M4 feed ramps and mil spec buffer and bolt carrier.
So far I've done Magpul CTR stock, ergo grip, timney 4# trigger, KNS non rotating trigger pins, magpul trigger guard, Tango Down vertical battlegrip, magpul xtm rail covers, built a ton of mags with magpul springs, followers, and the Ranger floorplates. Got an Aimpoint Comp M4 (not the S because I'm gonna use larues pivot mount for a magnifier). Also got a jetbeam M1X light and remote switch to throw on there! Just waiting for my Larue offset mount...

I went with the 3# on my build I'm working on.......checked it and it breaks closer to 2.5# and is pretty consistent.
I did some internal work on the hammer, trigger, and spring in my standard AR trigger in my 16" and made it alot crisper and lighter.....just guessing, but betting somewhere around 5-6#. Thats perfect for a shorter defense weapon tho.
Ur MP15 looks good.....I had mine (MP15 lower with custom upper) all custom built with YHM parts: flip up front sight/gas block, fip up rear sight, lightweight 4 rail free floating handguard. Then did a couple small things like a titanium firing pin, swapped an ACE ltd entry buttstock and tossed the collapsible one, a few rail covers, EOTech, and just added an AAC 51 tooth Blackout flashhider/QD mount for my M4-2000 silencer. Ordered an AAC 51 tooth muzzle brake/QD mount for my 24" build too. One silencer, mutliple AR's, including a "sniper" rifle.
JoeZX10R........got any links to a .17 upper for an Ar????? I haven't seen one, but I do have a Savage .17hmr and its just flat out badass when it comes to accuracy!!!

Sure do but just realized it is the 17 rem but this place has about everything...http://www.accuracysystemsinc.com/ar15_conversion.php

If you get up around the KC area after I get em in, buzz me on here or somin and let me know.....you're more than welcome to come check em out. I think after you get a chance to shoot em you'll be going for AAC's cans for sure! I got to shoot a YHM Mite and hear a YHM .223 can and they were ok, but not in the same ballpark as an AAC!
I haven't checked out DL Sports......but liked the ACE stock on my 16" so much I bought the rifle length version for the 24" AR I'm building. Ideally I can pick up a drag bag that converts into a backpack that could potentially carry my 24" AR, carry my 16" AR in hand, loaded mags in the bag and vest which nicely holds my Glock17 9mm in a crossdraw holster with 5 mags, and my FN57 pistol on my thigh holster with 3 30-round mags with it. Talk about a walking arsenal! haha

Re: ar15 upper
shouldnt be to hard to do .17 10/22 barrel maybe blow back, tube receiver. A bit of machine work but should be worth it.

Re: ar15 upper
damn.....wish it was an HMR....I got a ton of that ammo and would be sick knocking off prairie dogs with a cheap accurate semi-long range round thru an AR platform!!! "pop...dead....pop...dead....pop dead...." and repeat!
on its way now with one of the first 100 AAC Elements produced.....Can't wait! I went the normal CLEO signature route since my county sheriff seems to be cool with NFA items. I've got my tax stamp money sitting and ready to go!

Re: ar15 upper
JoeZX10R......if you get one built I wanna see it and shoot it! I haven't spent money on a .22 dedicated AR upper yet (tho I might in the future once their available again and shoot with my .22 silencer on the end, but most likely would if there was an upper for .17hmr available I would have to jump on it.
