Looking for help in deciding which "AR" upper to get.

[goodspeed(TPF)]

So I have two identical "pre ban" Colt C-AR 15s in .223. I am looking to get a different UPPER for one of them and was wondering what, if any suggestions you guys have. The main purpose of this quest is in fact to have fun. I have 3 9mm carbines already FYI. I was thinking maybe .458 S.O.C.O.M., the .50 Beowulf or even the .450 Bushmaster. Maybe even an older "wildcat" cartridge. Thoughts of J.D. Jones come to mind.

Any useful information would be appreciated. Thank you. -Goodspeed

I have one of these on order:

I know it's regular old .223/5.56, but I can't wait. I doubt there are any uppers out there any better quality wise.

What ever you decide you better do it quick!

At this moment in time, the best upper is the one you can lay your hands upon.

Get a dedicated upper chambered in 22LR. What could be more fun and cheap.

i agree on the 22 upper. Spike's tactical is the way to go there. awesome uppers.

also, if you're already thinking about the alexander arms 50 beowolf...why not go with a Bohica 50BMG AR upper?

oh, mamma its a beautiful thing.

Of the big-bore rounds, .458 SOCOM is the best choice because of the magazine factor. It uses standard, unmodified 5.56x45mm mags. Most of the rest do not.

MMMMmmmm..... Bohicaaaaaaaa.

Interesting, but not what I'm looking for. Was a good read though.

450 bush

Hi,

I have an unfired 450 bushmaster brand new that I need to sell if you are interested. Comes with 6 boxes of Hornady ammo.

Thanks

I don't quite see the "fun" in the big calibers. Components are harder to find and are more expensive, as is factory ammo. More recoil too.

I'd get a Spike's 22 upper if you don't plan to hunt big game with it.
