[QUOTE="Boozer, post: 1049597, member: 22146"] Hi all- I have a very basic Olympic Arms AR-15 that I picked up used. It has the A2 carry handle style upper. I'm looking to swap it out to an A3 style with the rail so that I can mount a scope. I'm looking to keep cost down, so I was planning on buying a stripped receiver, and not a complete upper assembly. I'm not interested in using the scope mounts that fit on top of the carry handle. It pushes the scope way too high for my taste. I've shot the rifle quite a bit, and as far as I can tell shooting iron sights, it's pretty accurate as-is. I don't know that it will be accurate enough for a long range gun, but I certainly don't want to do it a disservice by using a piece of crap. I've looked around and seen stripped uppers from $50 to $400. What's a good mid-range quality manufacturer to go with? There's so many! Also, I need M4 feed ramps, I've already experienced feeding issues without them. Thanks, Bryan [/QUOTE]
