    Hey guys I bought a stripped lower yesterday and I'm looking to build my first AR pistol. I'm not really familiar with the AR platform, so I don't know of all the companies who make parts and what's good/bad...

    I came across these uppers from radical firearms and they seem to be in my price range. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this company and if they are quality uppers

    Also if anyone could give me any other places to look for uppers, I'd appreciate that. I'm leaning towards a 10.5" barrel for my pistol

    Thanks in advance

    Not familiar with them but they sure are good prices. Anyone know how the melonite finish they use compares to chrome lining?

    I bought a 7.5" from them for a pistol build but I'm leaning in a different direction. I'd be willing to part with mine at cost minus shipping. It's unfired and no bcg or charging handle.

    Right now im leaning towards 10.5", but if I change my mind I will certainly let you know. Could you throw up some pictures of it if you dont mind?

    What does that mean?

    that means there's a bunch of people newly regsitered on arfcom singing the company's praises, who just happen to be in the same state as radical, and when someone says they sound like a shill, they disappear and a new "person" takes their place.

    Oh okay. I know what your saying. I havent searched any other forums for reviews or anything

    Hard to beat their prices, especially with the sale they have right now. I can get a 10.5" upper w/ melonite chromoly barrel with the upgraded WMD NiB-X bcg for only $430

    Whenever I see complete uppers that cheap, I'm very wary. When you combine that with the company name (all it needs is a "z" insteadof an "s" in "firearms"), I'll pass.

    This. And anything that sounds like a poor Chinese translation...

    OP - you could always buy one of my uppers:)

    I checked out their facebook reviews and most people seem to be happy with their stuff. Not sure how stock id put into facebook reviews though

    TNW, id love to buy that 10.5 upper off you but its just out of my budget right now. It looks awesome and im going with a FDE color scheme on my pistol also
