I've had my lower complete for a long time but have not had the money until now to get an upper. I had done my research a while back and had decided on a White Oak Armaments 1 in 7" Varmint complete upper. The price was great and no one had anything bad to say about them. I finally have the spare cash and go to place the order on their website and they no longer have the 26" available in 1 in 7", only 1 in 8" or 1 in 12". I had been hoping to do some 800-1000yard shooting with the 90gr SMK and it takes 1 in 7" or faster twist to stabilize it.
I have tried emailing both of the addresses they have listed on their site to see if I could maybe pay a little more to get it the way I want it. One of the email addresses they list isn't even a valid address, and the other hasn't responded in the week since I sent the message.
So, I've checked Midway, Brownell's, Model 1 Sales, RRA, Stag, Ten Percent, CWS, and some others. No one has 1 in 7" 24" barrelled uppers let alone 26". Anyone know of another company that makes a standard flat top upper, 26" 1 in 7" twist bull barrel, complete upper with bolt and carrier in the 600-700 range. I just want the standard round free float with a sling stud for bi-pod use, prefer stainless for the barrel but chromoly is okay. I would like to have the single piccatiny gas block so I can put some flip up iron sights on at a later date, but it's not necessary.
Thanks in advance,
Jer
