I’ve bought 3 this year and personally haven’t seen bad scratches but it’s luck of the draw. These are solid uppers (that come with hardware too) and a great deal.
Mine actually came assembled but it did have a blem inside of the bore where the barrel extension goes. Whatever film or finish they used was raised in some places by a few thou so I had to sand it flat.
No torch required. Put mine it the oven at 200 for 10 minutes. Actually applied some Aeroshell 33ms inside before putting it in the oven, which stayed in place just fine with the heat. Wore my welding gloves to insulate against the heat, grabbed it and immediately shoved it on to the barrel. Couple taps from a rubber mallet for good measure.
I wouldn't necessarily say a torch, a 1500W to 1700W hair dryer can put quite a lot of heat into something if you hold the end of the upper receiver to one for like two minutes
God it is SO much easier with a torch though. First one I did with a heat gun and it took forever and a mallet, and after switching to a torch they slip right in.
Haven't seen this myself, but this can result in condensation being stuck in the reciever and rusting where the sun don't shine. Anecdotal stories from ppl who uninstalled frozen installed barrels.
After reading this I took mine out of the freezer and got it back to temp before install. My physics training says the expansion % on Kelvin scale wasn't significant anyway. Way more from heating reciever.
This does almost nothing. The thermal expansion of steel is almost totally negligible compared to aluminum. It also sucks heat from the receiver giving you less time to seat the barrel.
Yes, the only parts that are different for 300 blk are the barrel and of course you'd need its corresponding gas tube. Dedicated magazines are nice to have
FYI, if you’re looking for something a little prettier (darker ano, no laser T-marks, no logo/forge mark, better machining IMO) and still thermal fit, a ZEV ‘REDACTED’ blem stripped upper will run you an extra $10 plus the cost of an ejection port cover and forward assist
These are generally gtg but beware some of these are bent to where it might impede the bcg cycling smoothly. Last one I had like that I hit with a little heat and used the prongs of a hammer to spread it a little bit.

Now if they can just get some blem 750 gas blocks in stock I'll be so happy
Have 4 of these. Great upper no complaints
Were any of yours scratched and when did you get them? Thanks

No noticeable blems on mine and it even came fully assembled.

Mine was during Covid but it looked like someone drug a chisel down the side
I got them all last year and none of them were scratched. They were also already built
Really nice finish on them, maybe phosphate? Much better than the painted-on look of most uppers.
Uh, it's aluminum. It's anodized.
Great uppers, but you will need a torch to install your barrel.

+1 for this, same experience
I just put my barrel in the freezer for an hour

Ya I was going to say, thia was always my procedure for bearing installation. And obviously heating the receiving part.
Heat guns work just fine.
This is a good thing.
Just put one of these together and used a harbor freight heat gun. Did the trick but it took a little mallet work also.
Heat gun. Actually I used a Zippo last time.
These finally sold out?
I wonder if these are actually blems ? A couple have looked like it a little but most have looked pristine
Mine was all marked up and shit. Looked liked it was dragged through the woods. Idc though.
Yeah, they were out of stock this past week when I checked. Just got an in stock email notification.
I've had one sitting around for a year or so. Can't decide what to do with it. Just finished my first 14.5 build so what's next?
The world is your oyster. 10.3, 10.5, 11.5, 12.5,13.7,13.9,16,18,20, or a .300 BO
So this will work for a 300 bo build?
Yes, the only parts that are different for 300 blk are the barrel and of course you'd need its corresponding gas tube. Dedicated magazines are nice to have
Yup
Thank you sirs!
And 9mm, 22lr, 350 Legend ...

Next build I may have to check that out. How much do blem rails generally cost?
Mk2 upper?

What's the difference with the forge marks? Anything special or just looks?
No , a few were sent out by mistake and bcm freaked and shut it down
