    Cheapest Possible AR15 Complete Upper?

    Hey guys... was looking at my extra complete lowers that I have left over from various builds... and was thinking of just finishing one off KISS that I can torture test and basically drag around and beat the crap out of.

    Anyone know who sells the cheapest of cheap complete upper that will function properly?

    (Don't need a charging handle if that'll help, have half a dozen laying around)

      Check these guys out, they are slow to ship, but offer some great deals, they have several options for complete uppers at $329.95



      Also TDS guns was having an upper sale, I believe they had their basic uppers at $299. this was at their Bonita location so you may want to contact them and ask if they still have the sale going on.

          Thanks Arkangel.

          I looked at PSA earlier, but that price is without a BCG. Hmm I think I'll have to wait for something to pop up in classifieds.

            Cheap would be looking for ads for parts you want and buy them. I built a complete AR for $290 from buying stuff on here and my old stuff laying around. Thats my beater gun and its actually work better then a lot of AR i see at the range. Im happy with it. If your willing to wait, you can find it really cheap.

            actually, heres the picture of it. Not bad for a cheap build:

              Check out Midway. They have DPMS complete uppers in the $370-385 range. Nothing fancy, but I have one of the bull-barrel 16" sporters that I have used hard for a couple of years, and it is still going strong. JSE Surplus also runs deals for their store brand uppers that I have seen go as low as $350 complete. Poke around, and you will find something eventually.

                Thats great! Yah I'm thinking I might just piece it together little by little... now i'm wishing i didn't give away so many of the little parts i had laying around.

                    Piecing it together is the cheapest and you can get a better quality upper. I'd start with a "blemished" BCM upper and the start looking for parts.

                            Picked up one of those. If you have a spare BCG laying around it's pretty cheap.

                              Can't get much cheaper than that.
