Enhanced, Monolithic, Semi Monolithic AR-15 Uppers

I am planning a “SPR/GPR” build and wanted to see if there were any upper receivers I should consider outside of the ones listed. I would like to use a monolithic, semi-mono, enhanced, etc. upper to reduce flex on the barrel. Ideally I would buy a mega mml but zev, in all their wisdom, decided to stop making them again.

LMT - proprietary barrels
Aero Enhanced
Seekins (these have large forearms)
Icon (former mega)
Ridgeline Defense (can you buy just a receiver?)
Cobalt kinetics
Sons of Liberty Gunworks
Vltor (key mod only?)


What am I forgetting?

Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

Do I have any idea if these are any good? No, no I do not. Feel free to discuss in the comments. Nevertheless, I thought I'd share these deals with the Hide.

AIM Surplus has Armalite branded 16 inch Nitrided 416r Stainless barrels on sale for $89.99. https://aimsurplus.com/products/armalite-16in-223556-mid-length-ar15-barrel-12x28

1:7 Twist, 556 Chamber, Midlength gas. Came to $104.71 shipped for me.

While researching these for any information (I found none), I stumbled across even cheaper Armalite OEM barrels.

(Presumably) 4150 (listed as CRMO) 1:8 twist, 223 Wylde, Carbine Gas HBARs for...$50.

Came to $75 shipped. I still ordered one. I have no idea if they're chrome-lined, nitrided, or neither.

I have no earthly idea what I'm going to do with them, but for the price, I couldn't pass it up.

Optics SOLD - Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 F1 Tremor 3 reticle price drop $2575 TYD & insured

For sale - I am the original owner, has sat in the safe for the majority of the time I’ve owned it. Light ring marks, the glass is flawless. Comes with everything but the original box.

AR15 223/5.56 Hornady 62 ELD-VT Reloads?

I have not seen any threads with load information for this in a AR15 223/5.56. Hodgdon has load data, but I have not seen anything else. But pretty much, it loads with like .2-.3 grains more than 69 SMK Load data for near max.
I just got 100 bullets and will be loading up and testing 10 different loads in a Brux and Shilen barrel (AR15 223/5.56).
I will be testing using Benchmark, N135, N140, N133 and TAC probably to see if I can find anything accurate with it. Since this bullet is new, I feel like good ballpark loads are largely unknown. Unlike 77 grainers, where for 20 years, people are going to say "24 grains of RE15/Varket/N140" are the standard.

Anyone have any good loads in AR's with these bullets so I can get some good ideas of load area? I have every powder, so if its not on that list above, its ok. I will consider other options. I chose above ones, because those are what I would call "top tier possible choices" for the 100 I have. If I had more, I would include RE15, Varget, XBR, H4895 and maybe a couple ball powders like AA2230 and H335.

Thank you for your advice in advance
