My first ever post in the AR forum. Needing an opinion.

I have an AR in the A2 configuration, Armalite lower with an M-16 upper. Looking for something that would give me a bit more accuracy. Looking at buying a complete upper assembly with the same 20” barrel, sight, etc.

Bear creek offers several of this type @ 20”. $349 with a 1/8” twist. $379 with a heavy barrel 1/7”, $399 with the same but a billet upper.


Leaning towards the heavy, billet at $399.

Any feedback on Bear Creek I’d need to know about? Thanks in advance. I’m not looking at a bench rest quality combination…..just something that would outperform the M-16 configuration.
