So today was the first Tanner show in Denver since the elections, and I figured it would be jam packed. I was right; Holy crap, was it busy! And holy AR mecca! There must have been over 500 complete rifles and uppers on the floor. And amazingly, no one was really gouging. There are always some folks that think their stuff is solid gold, but for the most part, I was still seeing pre-election prices, except a small hike on some ammo.
Anyway, I really went there to scour for some small parts for a couple of different guns (which I didn't find), but I did stumble across an upper I needed (yes, NEEDED! Lol). I had ordered an 11" from DSA in early October, keep being told "a couple more weeks". I'm tired of it, and with the deal this fellow gave me, I no longer need the DSA upper.
BCM complete upper with BCM M-16 BCG, 12.5" MPI HPT 1:8 Stainless NM government profile barrel:
............For $500 even, tax included! These are listed on BCM's site for $519 without BCG or charging handle! I keep wondering if the guy forgot the thing didn't come with the BCG he had in it or something, but he knew it was there, so oh well. I was stoked, and I'd been anxious to install the UTG FF rifle quad rail and Troy Claymore I've had sitting around:
Sorry for the crappy pictures. My camera was not cooperating tonight.
Now I just need a good set of BIUS and another optic. I'm really anxious for my SBR tax stamp to come back now, too, because this upper looks a little wonky on a pistol lower.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. I was pretty excited to 1) find an 11"-12.5" upper and 2) to get such a nice one for the price I paid!
Also decided to pick up a couple of the Pro Mag 42 rounders. I'll report on those after some testing.
P.S.
Anyone wanting a FF quad rail but lacking the funds for a MI or Troy should seriously consider these UTG pro rails. They're US made, fit and finish is excellent, and they're much lighter than the UTG drop in units. The 13" is 15.7 oz. (including the barrel nut and screws). Was $110 with tax.
