Who does really good uppers these days?

[limazulu]

Get a WOA with the WIlson bbl. I guarantee you that it will outshoot YOU and the rest of us! No need to spend the big bucks on the Krieger, PacNor, etc.

Yeah, might be a few bucks more than a RRA, but you will soon discover its worth it. Oh, and get the pinned rear sight while you are at it.

Mudcat, how big an improvement does a pinned rear sight get you?

I'd be interested in this also, and the cost. I likely missed it, but didn't see it on the web site.

Tommy,
Dual pinned uprade is an extra $55
Go to http://www.whiteoakarmament.com/ and click on complete uppers and you'll see it. I have the option on all my uppers after owning my 1st Bushmaster upper than you had to keep adding windage going back from 300 then 600. With my White Oak pinned uppers the no wind windage zero is the same from 100 to 600 yards and VERY repeatable....

If the $55 is going to crimp the budget skip it and you'll be fine.
If you can swing it definately get it...

OK, That makes sense.. 'keeps the sight from canting as it rises, right?
Thanks!

If and only if the job is done right! Pinning can induce as many problems as it "corrects" if the pins are even a fractional thou out-of-plumb! The only guy that consistently gets it right seems to be John Holliger!

I hear you. I can see issues w/ binding too.
I won't try 'home-smithing" this myself!

Thanks,

Oops, sorry for the delay in responding. I think its well worth the $55 as you will not get ANY play in the rear sight after its pinned. It doesnt take much back at 600 to move you so why mess with a rear sight that will have some lash in it if its not pinned? You only do it once, then its done. They just rebarrel the upper ever 3000 or so rounds and you still got your pinned rear sight. For what John charges for his WOA upper, its a no brainer.
