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 (the weakest part of the receiver naturally)

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

Laugh it up...I would.

good to know, I will buy the block.
