Ok i am trying to built me a new upper what upper receiver you guys recommend for a precision rig. I will use a 20" SDM-R barrel. I am going for a flat top no M4 ramps.
Thanks in advance.

I liked these when I saw them.

They can match a set together for you.

I think for this type of build, the DPMS Lo-Pro slick side upper is a good choice. They're not as expensive and they look really good.

Re: AR-15 Upper Receiver
I built a precision AR and used a DPMS A3 Flattop. Irregardless of what brand you get you should square the face with a lapping tool.

I think you should use someone who sponsors snipershide!

I love the Vltor MUR and used it for my high dollar Grendel build. I have a friend with a Larue that seems pretty nice.

Re: AR-15 Upper Receiver
Seeing as your in the Netherlands it may come down to what upper you can get out of the US. A lot of the manufacturers aren't registered with US State dept so can't be exported. I built up a Mk12Mod1 clone on a High Standard upper (its got m4 feed ramps though)earlier this year with most of the parts sourced from Brownells. 18" Barrel was locally made by tru-flite. Still working up loads but so far best load is grouping around 8.5mm (0.33")@ 100 with 77gr MK's, sorry for the side track.
Also had a DMPS lo pro upper. Fair bit heavier but should also make a good base for a accurate upper.
