I am not good at this, but I am asking for advice on an AR upper.
I ordered a Bushmaster XM15 16 5.56 upper assy from Midway last Christmas. It was put on backorder, but I would periodically check with them and the Midway rep reassured me that the order would arrive, eventually.
Well, I got a message from Midway yesterday that my order has been cancelled. Huh???
Okay, if either Bushmaster or Midway wants to cancel, then I have to reorder another upper.
I am looking for perhaps a 300bo or a 5.56 barrel with a cast friendly barrel.
My only experience has been Bushmaster. I know nothing about other brands, nor the 300.
So, my question: What other brands are good and where is a good (reasonable) place to buy? And someone please inform me about the 300, for instance, accuracy, case forming difficulty, will it fit my existing AR 30 round mags etc.
Advice appreciated.
