New Matching Billet Receivers
I got a matching set of billet upper and lower receivers for my AR. Thought I'd share the pics:

Looks great. Any advantages to billet over conventional or is it an aesthetic upgrade only?

Little of both. Functionally, this upper has the extended feed ramps cut into it. The old one didn't. And this one has a nicely beveled mag well. Some billet lowers are fully ambidextrous, altbough this one is not. SWAT receivers are guaranteed fully Mil-Spec. These are a matched set, so the upper and lower are a perfect fit. There is no slop between them, so they lock up tight to one another. That may help accuracy, although I haven't shot it yet.74novaman wrote:

But there is no doubt that appearance helped me decide on these specifically. And finally, I had the opportunity to get this set in trade for services rendered by my business, so there was no cash outlay involved.
