WProvence Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 I acquired an LR-308 lower made by Lone Star Armory. I went to them and they built it out for me. Now I'm looking for an Upper for it. I could have gotten an upper from Lone Star but I can't justify $1500 for it. I'm not competing and I'm not shooting at 1000 yards. I just want something that will handle shelf ammo and shoot anything I put through it. I'm not sure where to go or look for a good upper that will work. Delta Tactical has some and also PSA but they may be on the low end, as Lone Star may be on the high end. Looking for advise. I would prefer to stay at 16" if possible.

I've ordered some random parts from them with no issues. I'm sure your reason is solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that not based on my own experience but based on the number of times Delta Tactical comes up when new people show up with rifles that don't work.

WProvence Posted June 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 So if someone is looking for a quality complete upper, is there a list of vetted makers y'all can point me to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Everyone's parts don't fit everyone else's stuff. A stripped upper from the maker of your lower is the only thing you can be sure will fit that lower. Is there a gun shop near you that sells large frame uppers? If so take your lower in and see if you can find one that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
