Anyone here have any experience they'd share with regard to the AR15.com assembled uppers? Only interested in two of the options. One is a Wilson Combat 18" assembled upper, and the other is a Satern barreled upper in 20" format. I can get both with BCG's.
Appreciate the feedback!

My wife has a wilson combat 6mm ARC and loves it. Accurate enough to hit a 5” plate at 450 yards with Hornady match ammo.

I think either one will serve you well. I found out in March, the company my uncle works for does heat treatment for several gun companies parts. Wilson and Sig are two of their biggest customers. He had nothing but good to say about QA/QC about both companies.

The Satern barreled upper is actually more expensive than the Wilson barreled upper. Makes me wonder if the cost is justified.

grendel hunter uses all satern barrels I found it. The website states the barrel is a Liberty barrel, but that barrel is made my Satern.
