Receiver Set Help

[bigjake83]

So I'm looking for another project to start and I'm seeking help sourcing some NON-Traditional Barrel Nut to Handguard mounting style receiver sets. So far I already own the Following...

Seekins SP10
LaRue OBR/Pred/Tar
JP LRI-20
DD5 V5


Any other recommendations would be appreciated LMT is obviously another option but due to Full Retard prices and availability it's not a possibility.

Aero has their 'enhanced' uppers which have a flange to which their handguards mount.

Zev took over Mega who had a one-piece integral upper/handguard.

I have an Aero ar-15 set built out that is fully enhanced and it's a pretty solid connection. I also have the original Mega set in an ar10 configuration but have yet to build it out.

Are we sure aero and Seekins aren’t manufactured by the same person ?

Going by your list of what you have, are you asking about 308's etc. ?

Sorry, both actually large and small frame

Aero is off the table, like I'd rather start giving Truck Stop Hummers to be able to afford something else before buying aero products.

The older Mega MKM's will be the holy grail but they are hard to find.

How about Hogan or POF? Hogan used to make POF’s uppers before they started making their own. The same upper was also used by GAP Precision before they went with the SP10. It is a very rigid platform which uses a thicker heat sink barrel nut. The handguard is also clamped on to the top of the upper receiver to add more rigidity to the platform.

Lettuce Mayo Tomato is worth the $$. Other than them you pretty much have the best non standard setups.

Edit: Just reread your post, probably not what you're looking for.

Are you looking for something that isn't std barrel nut is that your question?

 

[bigjake83]

Are you looking for something that isn't std barrel nut is that your question?

Looking for any new receiver sets that don't utilize the traditional barrel nut to handguard design.

Hoping that there may be some out there that I'm not aware of.

 

[MontanaMan]

I imagine you'd know about it if there was.

How about KAC? Obviously as with LMT cost & availability are issues.

What not just another LaRue...............other than weight & handguard diameter, they work.

Or just another Seekins?

what's the hate on Aero?

I actually don't like KAC SR25's at all, extremely overrated.

I'd take a LMT MARS-H with the 15" handguard over a SR25 any day!

I'm always down for another SP10

Do you know if LMT has some kind of patent on the monolithic receiver/handguard upper? Are we stuck with them as the only offering because of that patent?

The Seekins and JP aren't technically monolithic, a true monolithic upper has to be a solid one piece top rail like the older Mega, LMT, and LaRue OBR.

I regret not buying one of the old Mega monolithics. If this had been a quad railed upper I’d have bought this one.

Mega MKM is hard to beat. We have a bunch of them. Most of ours are OG but Zev did a run of them recently I think. If you keep an eye out you can find one.

 

[Precision Underground]

An under the radar that I wasn’t aware of until recently is the radian model 1. Not sure what the barrel nut is but man, after seeing one I’m afraid a finger may slip and buy a set to build.

 

[mfox497]

I vote for another seekins. I have one and it’s done everything I need perfectly. Not as heavy as some of your other options so that’s a plus.

They are nice, but they have been very available for the last 18 moths or so. Looks like still pretty long lead time. Haven't checked lately, but I think they were only small frame though.

I see a couple of 14” ones out there. They’re ridic expensive. While they look absurdly cool, looking at the barrel nut I’m not seeing any advantage over any other interface. They should have machined the rail to bolt onto the upper if they’re going to make it worth the extra price.

 

[MontanaMan]

Agreed................ditto for SanTan, my own favorite.

Can you tell us why?

Remember a MSTN build where he used some of their parts and said it was a really good way to go on a budget.

Is it like drinking Folgers and eating basic white eggs, its what poors do, so you dont dare?
Or something else?

No it has nothing to do with being a snob on budget parts, I haven't used theirs products in a few years but back when I did their QC was all over the place and I don't like the design of their enhanced uppers, it has the mounting system that I prefer but they did not reinforce the front of the upper forward of the ejection port so I don't feel like it has really increased the rigidity.

Compared to seekins or JP who have reinforced that critical area.

 

[powdahound76]

Well stated answer.

Thanks.

Also, havent had issues with their stuff personally, but have seen that with more than 1 manufacturer.
