Thoughts on CMMG uppers?

[mutt]

I'm toying with putting together an M16A4 MWS clone and I'm wondering what you guys think of CMMG uppers? They seem to be the only manufacturer (that I can order from online) that carries a complete 20in upper with a 1/7 twist barrel, but it's pricey at $575. If I stick with a 1/9 I can get a 20in uppper from Del-ton for $395. Are the CMMG uppers worth the premium? Or perhaps someone can recommend another upper with a 1/7 barrel?

you can call del-ton and I am pretty sure they can get you a 1/7 barrel.

CMMG is pretty good, but for that price, I'd go with BCM. They make 1/7 uppers, and they are TOP of the line in terms of quality.


Here is the BCM upper for $425, plus $145 for a BCM BCG.

I forgot about Bravo Company. Yeah, I'd rather go with them for the same price. I'll prob do what Sniper7's suggested as well and see what Del-ton would charge for a 1/7 barreled upper. Thanks for the input guys.

CMMG is a middle of the road manufacturer. Not bad, just not anything to write home about. Del-Ton is below that. Take a hard look at the BCM solution.

Hello, I have a 16" CMMG and I'm very pleased with it. I know 3 other friends / family members with CMMG's as well; no complaints. I handload/reload 75gr OTM bullets and the CMMG loves them. Still toying with the load characteristics but I'm getting 5 shot groups under 1" at 100 yards.

I bought a complete CMMG piston upper and have tried it on every lower I have. It fits so tight I have to hammer the rear pin out to open the gun. When I cycle the bolt it hangs up in the buffer tube. I called tech support on 3-9-10 and told them about the problems, they said to send the entire gun to them for repair. It's going out today, 3-10-10, I'll update the thread on how they handle the repair.
