Beegreenstrings Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah but finding just a upper for that is about impossible.You can get a complete rifle from fin for $569and do you mean, fin feather and fur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Maybe someone has a lower already built? Or they have an a2 upper and want a flat top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Maybe someone has a lower already built? Or they have an a2 upper and want a flat top?Or maybe someone wanted their own special customized lower and did not want a cookie cutter.Or like Kawi said, you already have a nice lower with a 20" or 24" bull upper and just want another upper to shread paper or plates with?Pretty cheap for a completed upper ready to snap in the tinker toy.

kawi kid Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 That is super tempting just for just using it as a dedicated 22 upper. Shit my barrel alone was more then the entire upper you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 You can't shoot the 223 or 556 out of that cmmg set up can you? I was thinking my next would be back and forth between indoor and outdoor shooting so I wanted the ability for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 That's not to bad of a price. Its getting close to the point where I want to do my ar build, maybe I should start shopping around. I know they were doing awesome group buy kits on afcom for a while, but I don't see those anymore. It used to be Stag everything, with a lpk, upper, 6-pos stock and buffer assembly for like $500. This would come out to the same price or thereabouts too (I always ballpark lpk's and the 6-pos tactical stocks with buffer assemblies at $60 a piece).Looking at the bolt on CMMG's website, it looks like their standard conversion bcg. So theoretically you should just be able to put a standard bcg into their upper and it would shoot .223/5.56 (and it says it "maintains compatibility with all the same parts and accessories that fit your full caliber AR's") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no gas tube and the barrell extension is different along with the twist rate and chamber size. That's not to bad of a price.

You would have to get a different barrel and a gas tube to be able to shoot 223/556 out of one of the dedicated .22 upper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah so better path for me would to be just built the upper to shoot 5.56 then just buy the 22 kit as planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
