BisleyblackhawkI second RHINOWSO's link to the AERO upper as a solid option for .223/300 BO...this makes for an easy to build upper with many advantages (the full float hand-guard attachment forged into the upper for a one piece mount plus not having to mess with gas tube alignment...plus the proprietary barrel nut and wrench comes with the upper)...the necessity of having to use the AERO hand-guard was not an issue with me as they have really good hand-guards especially for the price point...some judicious interweb shopping can usually find them at a better price...
