Upper Receivers

I use a forged flat-top upper receiver with dust-cover and forward assist. The hand guard on my complete uppers is a Midwest Industries Inc. G4 Series one piece free float M-LOK hand guard. Every upper gets squared and detailed before assembly. I keep an extensive inventory of Shilen barrels in stock to keep lead-time to a minimum. 

 

The base price does not include bolt/carrier or charging handle. 

 

AR-15 upper receivers start at $699.00
WSSM AR-15 uppers start at $1249.00

Barrel pricing

The barrels that I produce all start life as a Shilen blank. We have three main, stock profiles, but custom contours are also available. Shilen offers two lines of stainless steel barrels: Their Match Stainless and their Select-Match Stainless. The two blanks are produced by the same process. Here is how Shilen describes their barrels:

 

Match Grade

$399.00 headspaced to your bolt**

$469.00* headspaced to, and shipped with a new, stripped bolt.

Our Match Grade barrels don't quite meet Select Match criteria-- but not by much! In these barrels, the bore must measure within .0005" of our standard diameter and cannot vary in diameter more than .0003" for the length of the barrel. So how much accuracy does a couple of "tenths" give away, compared to our Select Match barrels? Perhaps not any! The point is, whether or not there is any real difference in the accuracy potential between the Match and Select Match grades, the really demanding shooter must play it safe and go with the higher grade. In many cartridges and barrel twists, the accuracy difference between the two simply can't be detected. So unless you're gunning for one-hole groups or just demand the top of the line, the Match Grade barrel is your best choice for many forms of competitive shooting and for hunting varmints and big game. The Match Grade is completely stress relieved and fully warranted. The price of Match Grade stainless steel barrels includes hand lapping to a beautifully smooth surface. Chrome-moly can be lapped to a similar finish at an additional charge.

 

Select-Match Grade

$495.00  headspaced to your bolt**

$555.00*  headspaced to, and shipped with a new, stripped bolt

These stainless steel masterpieces of machining and hand lapping are intended for the competition shooter-- or even the hunter-- who wants the ultimate in accuracy and quality. These are our highest grade barrel and, of course, the most costly. What makes them so good that benchrest shooters, such as Tony Boyer, crave them? Consider this: To meet Select Match Grade criteria, the groove diameter must air gauge within .0003" of our standard diameter. Moreover, the uniformity of the bore cannot vary more than .0001" for the entire length of the barrel. These barrels are also completely stress relieved, and the bore is polished to a gleaming surface finish by our most experienced lappers.

 

Both are available in all calibers, twists and contours.

  • Options (Options for Match Grade and Select-Match barrels are the same prices.)
    • $129.00 Custom fluting ($139.00 on .17 or .20 cal. bull barrels)
    • $40.00  Medium contour.
    • $50.00  Light contour.
    • $100.00 Cerakote, any color.
    • $85.00 Barrel threading. (Includes Thread Protector)

 

The blanks that I receive from Shilen are all 28" long, and can produce a finished barrel up to about 26" in length. 


Any barrel up to 26" long will be priced the same.


These prices include any AR-15 barrel listed on my site, with the exception of the .17 calibers, and the WSSM line.


* For .223/5.56 bolts.  6.8 and LBC ARC bolts  are more.
** For "Bull" profile.  Lighter profiles slightly more.
