Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Upper in need of mate

I'd actually been trolling around for a nice little .223 bolt gun but inadvertently ran into a Palmetto State Armory lower at a price I couldn't let slide. Now I've got to figure out something to pair it with. I'm not really looking for a SHTF piece as I've got that elsewhere. Still, I'm not looking for a pure plinker either. I weighting accuracy more than trying to have it save my life in a battle but spending a little for something I expect to work isn't something I'm afraid of doing, I just don't have a need to drop top dollar on the project.

I guess the best "what do I want to do with it" answer would best be served by "walking varminter". Light enough to tote pretty well while making at least a genuine effort to keep the bullet holes snuggled nicely with most ammo.*

*This is my first .223 anything and I'm wanting to lean towards the 5.56 chambers for ammo availability though that might hurt accuracy I'm told with .223. Wylde chamber perhaps?

I purchased a Red X Arms complete upper assembly: A3 flattop, floated handguard, 20" stainless bull barrel. I'm just tickled to death with it. It shoots!!

Hi Guy-- Take a look at Red X Arms. Their stuff is of the highest quality and Neil is great to deal with by e-mail or on the phone. I love the upper I purchased from them, and it is a real shooter!! Let me know if you have any questions or need more details after you've visited their Web pages.

Oooops, sorry there Guy, I realize I'd already sent you that information. Just use the delete key; it works great for guys like me!!

No problem and thanks for the reply. I'll give Red X a look.
