So I have a lot of lowers sitting around and want to start piecing together some uppers.

What's the best place to buy upper receivers, not complete uppers, just the receivers?

I'm in Indiana and tried to build an "all Indiana" rifle - ended up picking up an upper from BCI Defense. It's pretty solid and built like a tank.

Might also check PSA or Aim Surplus as well if you're price conscious.

Yeah I should have mentioned I'm looking for cheaper options. I've got enough Noveskes

Anderson. Ive built a lot using their uppers and lowers.

From anywhere in particular? Or straight from the source?

Have you looked at BCM?

Aero, Palmetto State Armory, Joe Bob, Primary Arms come to mind.

^ This, I bought 5-6 a couple years back and what I assume they call scratches I would call rub marks, no other problems.

I have bought several Anderson manufacturering upper receivers from Primary Arms at a good price.

I have used both upper and lower receivers produced by Anderson manufacturering. I have never had a problem with any of them.

My SBR is built with an Anderson manufacturering lower receiver.

The last Anderson manufacturering upper that I got from Primary Arms, with port door cover and forward assist was like $49.00, a very good price.


ARman

I like the Aero Precision NON-forward assist uppers. On sale too!

Sionics or Sons of Liberty Gun Works

These guys have Aero Precision assembled upper receivers for about $60 shipped

I am very happy with my Rainier Arms uppers

I just placed an order for one as well as an 18" Ballistics Advantage Wilde SS barrel with their 30% off sale...this AR build shit is out of hand ...hell it's only money, they print it more of it everyday!

Heres what I got so far...

Upper - 59.99
Gas tube - 7.99
Gas Block - 4.99
Barrel - Trade
ALG Rail - 80.00
Other parts - I had

Now I'll add a PSA BCG when they hit $79 again and I'll have a complete 16"mid length the way I want it for $380 or so.

Monmouth has nitrided Toolcraft bolt carrier w/C158 MPI bolt for under $86 shipped.

I've been very pleased with my BCM.

I have two, neither of which fits exactly on my lowers. They seem like the pin holes may be out of spec or misaligned. Also took more spacers to get my barrel nut lined up, but I used them for 9mm builds.

Interesting. What losers? I used Anderson lowers. Getting ready to swap one to a Meridian Ordinance dedicated Colt pattern lower.
I used mine for 9mm builds too.
I used the uppers without FA.
