Noreen Arms BN-308

Looking to find out what brand complete upper is best to pair with the complete lower I just purchased. Any help would be appreciated. This is my first stab at an AR-10. Thx much!

I went to the Noreen Arms website but they're out of stock. I guess I will wait until they're back in stock. I was thinking about trying to find a good deal on a used complete upper assembly. So... I was wondering if any body else on this forum has used a different branded complete upper on a Noreen Arms lower, with good success.

The best upper to purchase is from the exact SAME manufacturer that made your lower receiver.  Everything else is a crapshoot.  In this world, there ARE no standards for frame/receiver manufacture.  Your guess is as good as mine.  Gamble, or not.  Just get the same receiver as your upper - then you only have one company to blame, when it doesn't shoot like you want it to.

That's my $0.02 on the whole affair. Take that for what it's worth.

I mated my Noreen lower to an Aero Precision upper. Worked out just fine.
