Need help selecting an upper receiver...

[lead_magnet]

Okay, so I WAS done building my AR...first time...and now I need a new upper receiver, because I am retarded and bent mine. So now I need to buy a new receiver....oh joy. I will be using gun-kote (as all of my other parts are gun-koted flat dark earth), so I'd like to buy something that is hard coat anodized. Oh, its going on a bushmaster lower, bushmaster barrel w/o m4 ramps, and will be using the new t series free float handguard.

I was looking at the sun devil receiver until i heard about having some fit issues.

Would you recommend that I just get something cheap, or go with a milled upper?

Thanks in advance.

may I ask how you bent it, so I do not repeat it myself?

*sigh* .... I was hopping I wouldn't have to go into that...because its pretty dumb.

I was to the stage where i had to screw on the barrel...and I thought, BUY a vice block...no way! I'll figure something out....so I tried to wedge it inbetween two sturdy objects as to prevent it from turning when I screwed on the barrel nut. It worked, but the twisting action bent in the part of the receiver just below the ejection port [Rant2](the weakest part of the receiver naturally)

So yeah...theres my "i'm retarded story"

Laugh it up...I would.[Bang]

good to know, I will buy the block.
