    Nvm. I'm getting this when they get back in stock. I will leave this up as reference for anyone else looking for pistol uppers in the future.

        That is nice too, but I'm going as cheap as possible on the upper haha.

        I can't figure out if these short GSE buffers work on normal AR BCG without their special bolt?

        I hope so.

          you need their bcg. its machined so the buffer spring can ride on it. that is if youre talking about their gen 2 shorty buffer tube kit.

            Talking about the original one on their site that is like $70, not the Gen 2.

                oh, then the normal one has a plug that goes into the back of a normal bcg.

                  Yeah. I'm not sure if the stainless is better or lighter? But it looks cool. So idk. haha.

                  Nice! Thanks for clearing that up. I will be using the normal one.
                  I'm probably buying this upper without the BCG ($85 cheaper) so I can just get a nice BCG in there like a BCM or Spikes.

                    Why not pick up one of the uppers from JSE and upgrade to the HC BCG and call it a day? And use the RRA pistol buffer tube and forget about the weird proprietary stuff.

                      Basically, that would be plus $35. The normal one they include is $85.
                      So that's $120 for a DPMS Chrome BCG (the cheapest chrome one).

                      I can get a BCM for $140. I've read about DPMS having issues, never heard that with a BCM (even after tens of thousands of rounds).
                      For $20 I'll splurge on a nice BCG.

                      Oh, and the GSE buffer tube is only 3-4" long, so it barely sticks out. It's cool.
                      You don't have to get a proprietary bolt with the Gen 1.

                      My only problem is wait for the stainless steel or get the black barrel.

                          Hmmmm.

                            This is what I did. I then added a rail for 50.00

                              Did you get the stainless barrel or the normal one?

                              Is there really a difference for $30? I will wait until they're back in stock it it's worth it. You can only see like one inch of it, but still haha.
