Hey guys just bought a double star complete lower today at the un show and was wondering where the best place to et a 16 " car. length upper . I know i want 5.56 and chrome lined but really dont know what is a good quality for the price. Any advice would be great.

Model 1 Sales, M&A Parts, DPMS, J&T
Man there are a bunch to choose from, try "AR15 upper" in Google and spend hours

Just make sure you get the bolt and carrier, and charging handle.
A lot of the uppers don't include them.
I have used Model 1 and M&A and they both are nice pieces.

I went with William Snelling at the Tannery Shop (tanneryshop.com)
he's a great guy to deal with, very helpful, communicative. I ordered a Varmint upper, and the barrels were on back order from his supplier, but it should be here sometime this week. Ive seen/heard really good things about his work, and will post a review here once I get my upper.
For 16" carbine stuff, there's TONS of places out there that all seem to be of decent quality... beware of model1 and M&A as far as customer service goes is the only catch Ive heard about them. typically the stuff is decent that they put out, but if its not or it has problems, supposedly its hell trying to get them to make it right.
read tons of good things about del-ton...
I can't wait til my upper comes in.. Ive already got a crap load of handloaded rounds ready to go... had to fill my time with some hobby while I wait for the new upper!

I love the Del-Ton A2 kit I assembled. 1+ for them.

i bought the lower from del ton at the raleigh gun show and it will probably take till august to save the money for the rest so i may just have to wait and see them again, they where very nice in person and very patient for the amount of people at the show.
