Best complete upper under $400

[TxPewPew]

Hey y'all,

I'm looking for a complete upper for around $300-$400 I can't decide between Radical Firearms, PSA, or this company called "Bear Creek Arsenal"

I'm leaning towards PSA, but I'm worried about not getting it for 2 weeks since their shipping times are terrible.

I'm going with a budget upper because I plan on upgrading the handguard, BCG and Flash Hider eventually.. just wanted something cheap to shoot in the mean time

Does anyone have any experience with the abovementioned uppers?

Thanks in advance!

I'd vote for PSA. I've had lots of good success with PSA. What worries you with the shipping time from PSA? They largely build to order, and have a backlog of orders at all times.

Radical is okay, but the two uppers I got from them were noticeably different in finish even having been ordered at the same time. Really budget barrel, IMO.

Never heard of Bear Creek.

Another +1 for PSA, as long as you avoid their PTAC lineup. I have heard mixed reviews of Bear Creek Arsenal products but I have no personal experience with them.

Id avoid radical. PSA has been good to me. Their "premium" line barrels are made by FN. Their regular line barrels are made by Wilson (not Wilson combat). Like mentioned above, avoid the PTAC line and you're good to go. The freedom line is non-chrome lined barrels.

I've heard horror stories of shipping times.. over 2 weeks just to ship out. I guess it was so bad the CEO had to release a press statement - http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s....php?t=1231965

I'll give them a shot

PSA all the way. If you need something plan a head a bit and expect a longer ship time. Worth it IMO.

PSA has really improved their shipping times. At least the last time I ordered, they were decently quick. I think I had it in hand within about 7-10 business days?

Best $400 complete upper? Probably saving for a 50% longer period of time.

Psa has been shipping very fast lately. Another vote for their uppers.

AIMsurplus sells some upper from CBC industries at the 300 price point. Haven't shot them myself but a friend says his experience was good. Palmetto State Armory does decent work in my opinion.
