Vltor stripped upper

[TStewartFan]

My dad decided to play catch up and bought an AR-15, after building his lower, he bought a GG&G completed upper for $750 and that was w/the BCG and charging handle and his upper doesn't look bad for the price.

As I get ready for my 2nd build I look at the Vltor Mur upper that I have on my first and wonder, "was it worth the price?" I was told by a gunsmith at work that this was they part to have for my upper build. I know Vltor says that it is build with "Extra Metal For Superb Strength & Rigidity", but does it really make a difference?

I did enjoy picking my parts as I did my build, but I know that there are other stripped uppers to be had for less, and some for more. The Black Rain Ordnance one sells for $269 and doesn't even have a forward assist installed.

Anyone that has experience with both the Vltor and other brands of uppers, pleae let me know what your thoughts are.

Thanks,

The mur upper is more beefier and usually used on high quality brands like noveske. If you want the best accuracy and the least flex, the mur is a great upper for a precision build. Although any upper from yhm, stag, RRA, etc will suffice for a regular build. My .02 cents
