A few questions on .223/5.56x45mm uppers

[Walsh]

Hey ya'll, I have another question to ask.

Question #1:
I am thinking about selling my DPMS 20" upper in order to fund a 16" mid-length upper. I have noticed that new 20" uppers go for $450-$500 in the basic A3 configuration, which mine is in. My question is what would you sell it for if you were me, I was thinking around $350.

Question #2:
Now, as you can tell, I will be buying a mid-length. For me, and my uses, which is plinking, little hunting, and possible an HD weapon. The uppers that I am thinking of is Del-Ton (decent quality at a lower price), RRA, or just bite the bullet and go with a BCM upper with the GUNFIGHTER charging handle (but this is very expensive for an upper alone). Or my other option would be to buy the BCM upper, and add a lower cost BCG and charging handle such as DPMS, Del-Ton, or RRA.

I have a decent idea of question #1, but #2 is my main concern.

Thanks in advance,
P.B.Walsh

Just cut the bbl to 18inchs and have the best of both worlds? Not too short and not too long

I can't say anything bad about the rock river, I have owned several and only had 1 with a gas ring problem and they fixed it no questions asked and promptly. With that said I think you will be very impressed with the BCM especially with the gunfighter charging handle. Every rifle I own now has to have one now. Of course buying a gunfighter charging handle is always an option for any upper you may choose. If your happy with your current configuration just want a shorter barrel, like fueddy said cut it to 18" and have the best of both.

Thanks for the RRA opinion, BCM is just alot of money for me!! I thought about cutting it down..... but I just dont want too, I love 16" barrels!! I could just get an RRA with BCM gunfighter charging handle.....
