Took Five weeks pluse a couple days to get my 5.56 16" upper with the 15" free float rail. And the wait was well worth it! The folks at Hardened Arms are some amazing craftsman on the production floor and in the office.The quality machining and precision finishing is amazing! Preformance was dead on sub 1" groups at 100yrds.For the price I would be shocked if anyone could find a better deal that compares to the high quality parts these folks have put forth! Thank you all for your hard work! Can't wait to buy again!!! Be safe!

Moved to Reviews. Thanks, Chuck. Lockednloaded wrote: Preformance was dead on sub 1" groups at 100yrds.! NICE! Great review, thanks for posting. What kind of ammo were you using? Do you know the twist rate of the barrel?

Glad someone else likes theirs too. I picked a Hardened Arms upper in 7.63x39 with the Scorpian rail upgarade. It has been 100% through about 2 thousand rounds of cheap Russian laquer coated ammo now. They gave me a melonite BCG with their sale deal too, which is outstanding! The only problem is the ASC magazines that I bought have too weak of springs in them to consistently lock back the bolt. I'll order Wolff +5% springs for the mags and see if that fixes the problem.

$450 with 12" Scorpion M-lok rail, mil spec charge handle, 30 round ASC mag, melonite barrel, and melonite BCG shipped. Kick ass 7.62 x 39 ar15 goodness. Hits steel twice as hard as 223 does. I'm loving this set up!!! I added a Tennessee Arms .308 muzzle device for another $35. All together this rifle is easily sub $750.
