[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 2536791, member: 90397"] One of the nice things about the AR platform is how modular they are. I have a GAP 10 that shoots well but was pretty pricey. I went a different route with most my other AR 15 platforms and just ordered very well made uppers for the lowers. I have 3 Craddock Precision uppers that all shoot competitively with the GAP 10 for a lot less money. I watched my grandson put in a 5/8" five shot group at 200 yds with my Valkyrie and I regularly get 1/2 MOA from it. A good Bartlein barrel is approaching 1/2 the cost of a new upper and I felt more confident in a positive outcome buying a complete upper that shoots well rather than trying a variety of changes until I stumbled across the right combination of changes. I understand the complete upper route cost more than many of the suggestions above so it depends on how flexible your budget is. One downside of ordering a Craddock Precision upper is the wait times but it was still less than 1/2 the wait for the GAP 10. [/QUOTE]
