$225.00 for stripped upper and lower set

$250.00 for assembled upper (FA and dust cover installed)

$255 for FDE cerakoted

 

DAYUM that's a hell of a deal for these..  I paid $305 for the same set when I built my rifle and thought I was getting a steal then.  I can attest that these receiver sets are good to go.  Very tight tolerances and practically zero slop.

No problems with parts compatibility issues.

 

I finished mine off with a Rainier barrel and bolt, an MI float tube, DPMS buffer and tube and AP's LPK.  It runs like a well oiled machine, works great with PMAGS.  No problems feeding or ejecting .308 or 7.62.  I just works..

 

OK, I'm done Fangirling now, but these receivers are a great way to start a buildup.  I love my set and GODDAMN if that's not a great price for these!

Any builder can have a sub-$1k .308 rifle now. If done right, probably close to $750!

AP just tossed the gauntlet down to these overpriced manufacturers.

I've seen reports of charging handle compatibility issues with these uppers. Be aware.

I've seen the reports about the PSA, but not from AP. Which CH's didn't match?

For the record.... MechArmor will make their TacOps-1 fit your rifle if it doesn't work. The LaRue OBR fits very tight tolerances, and a few .000 have to be honed off.

TacOps-1 .308 version works perfect.. (ask me how I know ;) )

Yes, a new parts and build report coming, with some new parts people wanted to see.
