Back in 1983 I bought a complete new G.I. parts set (minus the lower receiver),
and built my first AR. I got a PWA lower for 59 bucks.
It shot well but I've tried other uppers and Palmetto was great!
But I never liked the idea of blowing hot gas and burned powder into the
receiver so last month I picked up a new Adams Arms upper with 16"
barrel.
I also put a PDQ Ambidextrous bolt stop/release in because the stock
release is left handed.
Adams upper has no gas tube to the bolt, it's a gas piston-driven op-rod
and the receiver runs cooler and much cleaner. Same idea as M1's and M14's/M1-A's.
Added flip up sights. This thing is very accurate for the shorter barrel!
I love the modular platform of the AR series! SO versatile!!!
