A quality upper assembly without cutting corners. This means starting with a top tier mil-spec forged upper receiver, using a nitrided steel gas block as opposed to phosphate or aluminum, quality American Made M-LOK handguards and one of the nicest nitrided A2s you'll find anywhere. This also means taking the time to ensure that the upper will function reliably. We use Permatex 242 on key components while using mil-spec AEROSHELL 33MS Anti-Seize grease on the properly torqued barrel nut and muzzle device.Bottom line is this: you hear all the time about guys buying a budget upper and it not lasting or having to send it back because of some hardware defect or other issue caused by a careless assembly process.
