noGood to hear these are coming back. Is there an eta on these?
after reading his response I shot an email to Corie, not Codie, and she said no eta.

I really like what those guys are doing,7 of these in-stock as I am writing this. For anyone who missed the SR-25 cartel uppers I think this is them… just sent them a message to confirm.
Edit. These are the SR-25 cartel uppers. Ready to ship.

HTX Concepts SR-25 Pattern Billet Upper Receiver (SR25UPPER)www.operationparts.com
I been able to get several SR-25 URX 3.1 and URX 4 from operation parts.I really like what those guys are doing,
Has anybody figured out a solution for handguards that doesn't involve GB.
Maybe a year ago. Not sure.How recent? I thought they stopped making them...
Nice. Also, I think PSA’s new Sabre 10 (billet) line are sr25 patternthe Stags do look really good all put together… did this one just for fun and to use up some extra parts from all my builds…

Yep. Needs to be test fit say for sure… who would have though Danielle Defense and Wilson combat we’re not standard AR 10 cutNice. Also, I think PSA’s new Sabre 10 (billet) line are sr25 pattern
Just a data point for others referencing this. I am working on a very similar build. I used the SMF tactical upper and MARS-H, but I was not so lucky. The lines match up nicely (like you said, a little trimming makes it even better, but I'm happy with the aesthetic. Got the gun together last night and found a functional problem with the upper/lower combo. The bore of my SMF upper sits lower than the receiver extension in my LMT lower. The BCG is not able to move freely between the upper and lower.I did some fitting work to the SMF tactical upper to get the lines to match up better with the LMT lower. Really, I just broke some edges and trimmed some overhang but it made a huge difference and I am really happy with how it turned out.
Again… this did function without modification. I just wanted the lines to match up a bit better.

Basically I just put sharpie on the upper (Like layout fluid) and scribed some line, then use files to remove extra material. SO long as you take you time and have a some file (And a few different shapes) this is no difficult. It just requires patience.

Here is some shots during and after paint. (Paint is Aervoe brand and the color is Sand) Oh and that LMT blem marking is

I'll get an LMT (and maybe Stag) upper on the gun and confirm that the SMF upper is the problem. Maybe they've changed their design, maybe I ended up with a lemon.
Don’t sleep on those Cartel uppers… they are available and the fit is exactly what we were all looking for. They are expensive… but worth it IMO.Just a data point for others referencing this.

Some folks on reddit were a little disappointed. Sounds like they purposefully mismatched the lines so that they couldn't be mistaken for Knights uppers?Don’t sleep on those Cartel uppers… they are available and the fit is exactly what we were all looking for. They are expensive… but worth it IMO.
It is… I am sure you can tell the difference and 600 is a lot. But the fit IMO is great. I have mine on a knights lower now.Some folks on reddit were a little disappointed. Sounds like they purposefully mismatched the lines so that they couldn't be mistaken for Knights uppers?
I was following along during their development with much interest, but 600 bones is a lot for a stripped upper.
sounds like the SMF is a lemon. I ran an SMF TAC-10 on a MWS lower and they worked beautifully. I bet SMF will make it right. Centurion Arms is also redeveloping their MK11 receivers and will have ambi controls, etc. I'm thinking it'll drop this year.Just a data point for others referencing this.

I would definitely reach out to SMF. The people I spoke with on the phone were incredibly nice. I am sure they would take care of it.sounds like the SMF is a lemon.

My understanding from other posters here is that you've always been able to rebarrel a LaRue with a typical large frame AR barrel but I'm not 100% on this. It seems there's more differences in the carriers than there is with the barrel extensions.Do the Larue ultimate uppers take a standard barrel format, or are they proprietary?
I also got a couple blowout Larue lowers and am debating what upper route to take.
The SMF Tactical upper fits great on Larue Predator but needs a minor adjustment.Do the Larue ultimate uppers take a standard barrel format, or are they proprietary?
