I have an aero precision stripped lower that I am building up right now. I am trying to decide what brand I should look at for uppers or full build kits to complete it. From the looking I have done it is most likely between PSA and BCA. So if anyone has any advice on which to pick or other suggestions, I am all ears. I am looking to make a cheaper gun but not a piece of shit gun. I was also looking at Ceratac, if anyone has had any experience w. them. I've dealt with their customer service just to ask questions and they were very helpful but they're extremely cheap so I get worried. So any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the wall of text.

TL/DR: I'm building an AR15 and need to buy a cheap(yet somewhat reliable) brand complete upper receiver, any suggestions, advice, warnings, or otherwise relevant information is welcomed and will be appreciated.

Avoid 'billet' or 'milled' uppers that are not standard spec or you may end up running into compatibility issues with your fore end. Other than that it truly does not matter much any more. I tend to price shop and I don't worry much about brand. If I am being picky and I care about looks I will be more discerning but even then it is about the finish/coating and making it match the lower.

Nice. Thank you very much for the input. I have been wanting to but a kit from Ceratac but the only reviews I can find online (which is only like 2), are both horror stories that end in the gun not even being able to cycle without aftermarket upgrades. Idk how trust worthy they are tho.
