I'm not aware of any that I would call "best quality" at that price. The best deal I know of under that price is http://e-sarcoinc.com/arcompupperkitforretracta.aspx I built 2 of these and am happy with them.Comment

If you want a shooter and basic rifle that has good over all fit and finish but is not Billet machined or custom bla bla bla.
Del ton
We got a M4 flat top upper 16" Hbar with a double rail gas block for $526 shipped with the LPK included. Oh and the upper was head spaced and test fired.Comment

I would defiantly check out bravocompanyusa.com if I were you. I couldnt be more happy with mine, the finish and function of them are superb, they should be charging a lot more. I wish I could of had my upper with me in Iraq instead of the pos I had.If 5% of the ducks could shoot back, you're not going to go duck hunting.Comment

Slightly more you can go with a RifleGear.com upper. Basically a rebranded Daniel Defense for less cash. Love mine.Comment

My DPMS upper from JSE has been amazingly accurate, got the 24" bull barrel. I have heard people say that DPMS is not very good quality, but I am sure pleased with it. Under 500, and more accurate than I am.Comment

One of the highest quality but low budget places I like is redxarms. Good service, very low prices, and they will tweak or swap items if you call them. I have built 4 great shooters with their uppers. They are shipping me their AR 308 upper for my first LR-308 DPMS build.Last edited by darthnugget; 02-25-2012, 5:56 PM.Since we can never hope to understand why we're here, if there's even anything to understand, the individual should choose a goal and pursue it wholeheartedly, despite the certainty of death and the meaninglessness of action.

Del-ton is the best bang for your buck. For under $400 you can get a complete upper in many styles.
I have some in stock for sale today starting at $375.

- Knights Armament
- Noveske
- Colt/BCM
- LMT (only because they don't produce a mid-length gas upper yet)
In that order. And I NEVER pay attention to price, when QUALITY is involved.

If you get a JSE upper, be prepared to put some work into it to get it running (most likely at least an upgraded extractor spring & O-Ring, then again thats a worth while upgrade anyway)...
In that price range, I'd probably get a Pallemeto State Armory Upper or a Del-ton... For the money, they're decent.
If you wanted a quality upper you should be looking at Daniel Defense, KAC, Noveski, BCM, LMT, maybe Colt.Originally posted by BannedinBritainComment
