Delton makes a great setup, Also contact Wes at 10% for a Stag or RRA M4 upper. You cannot go wrong with any of these.

I'd suggest waiting up a bit (like a year or two)... like any craze, the M4 craze is going strong right now and seems to be commanding a premium. Probably in a while, there'll be another craze and some folks will sell their M4 uppers they bought as a novelty, at a much lower price.

I was thinking M4 for my build, but I'm really liking the 16" midlengths. You get the 16" barrel, but a longer sight radius.

You want him to wait 1-2 years to save a few bucks? The M4 has actually been around for a while now. If you want to buy an M4gery now is probably the best time as there are so many makers pumping them out you can get exactly what you want. The newest craze is not M4s but midlengths, lightweights, and piston systems.

It's not so much the sight radius as it is the longer gas system.

If you want something affordable, check JT Distributing's offerings, too - http://www.jtdistributing.com/ . Their website's not active, but you can download their pdf catalog.

Great service, great people, great reputation over at www.ar15.com. I've had good luck with my JT gear.

Eh, at the price point he wants them at, I don't see any completed M4 uppers. I'm assuming the price range stated ($450-$500) is inelastic.

You can get a RRA for around that range.

Wes at Ten Percent can get you a complete CMMG upper - M4 or 16" midlength - within the stated budget.

Yeah, you can get a quality, complete upper for that price range.

I was going to pick up a RRA CAR A4, but am going to wait until after the SHOT show to see if they update anything. . .since their prices are going up.

i picked up a del-ton upper with chrome lining m4 6 position stock and rra 2 stage nm trigger for 610 if you take out the stock for a reg 4 position and no chrome lining and reg triger it will be closer to 450-500

His price range is about right for just the upper. I was thinking about getting one but decided to go with a regular contour barrel since I'm never going to attach an M203 launcher anyway.

I'll probably go middy with a 9 or 12 inch FF tube...

Actually, I have noticed that prices have gone up considerably over the past 5 months or so. What used to be $429 or so is $470 now.

Save your $$, get a quality upper from LMT. M4's are 1-7, most sell 1-9.
