For 1 in 7 barrel,since you already have Spike lower,Spiker upper might be a better choice as far as color match plus the customer service is excellent at Spike.
I plan on shooting heavier grain ammo, but it should work fine even with M855.

here's a couple pages on why: http://ammo.ar15.com/ammo/project/perf_m193acc.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Please help me choose a quality upper!

Howdy,

So I bought a spike's lower and I'm looking for an upper; please provide suggestions.

Things I want in the upper:
*Completely flat top - no triangle front sight.
*I am going to put an eotech and troy sights on it, if it doesn't already include that
*Lightweight
*16" M4 profile
*M4 feed ramps
*1:7 twist
*5.56
*Chrome lining
*All black furniture
*Must be ultra reliable
*going for the KISS method


I like this troy model, but I can't seem to find any reviews on it, although I know their sights/add on parts are high-quality. Does anyone have experience with this?

Troy Industries CQB A4 Special Purpose Carbine
Specifications:

* 5.56MM NATO w/ 1/7 twist or 6.8mm SPC w/ 1/10 twist
* 16" or 10.3" MP Inspected Barrel
* Ultra Reliable
* Professional Grade
* Weight: 4.0 lbs
* AVAILABLE IN BLACK AND FDE

Kit Includes:

* 1/7 Chrome Lined MP Barrel
* TROY Folding Battle Sights
* TROY 13.5" MRF-RX or 10" MRF-MX
* TROY Midieval Flash Suppressor
* TROY Low Profile Gas Block
* Tango Down Rail Panels
* Bolt, Carrier and Charging Handle
I'm also looking at the Spike's Tactical 16" M4 Cold Hammer Forged upper with Daniel Defense Lite rail:
Upper Specs-

-Spike's Tactical M4 flat top upper receiver, Machined from a 7075 T6 Mil-Spec Forging with Mil-Spec Type III Hardcoat Anodized finish, T-markings, our logo and M4 feed ramps.

-Forged Mil-Spec Charging handle.
-M4 hand guards.
-A2 Flash Hider.
-9" rail
-Each upper also comes with an ST-T2 Heavy buffer.

Alternatively, I have heard very good things about BCM and might get one of those. Thoughts/Suggestions?

My price range is around $500 - $1400, including troy front/rear sights
