Following the advice a writer put forth several years ago, I have built several M4 clones, so that my boys will have something available. You never know when Our Dear Leader will pull the rug our from under us.

I used Palmettos State Armory stripped lower receiver, with mostly Bravo Company URGs. One I built with Noveske components for a super barrel. The PSA lowers were manufactured by LW or FNH.

A friend worked at Picatinny Arsenal and shared some insight into some of the manufacturers. He told me that Colt is not what it used to be, and there were many no-go scenarios when they went up to do spot inspections on the manufacturing facilities.

The BCM components are outstanding and the important thing for me is they usually have their products in stock. Something I considered with BCM complete uppers is they are properly configured, with correct headspacing. No concerns something will fail... or blow up.

Though many companies have come forward and started producing AR parts and even complete rifles, there have been more than a few with parts not within the specifications of the data pack. I have stuck with traditional M4 parts, as going with a company manufacturing unique shapes and gizmos becomes a support/ supply problem when the next gun grab shows its face.

I will have to check out the Sine Pari Series M4 Upper Receiver Group, though I wonder about the muzzle device coming loose. I would like to support a Veteran that went into business, especially one making Freedom Tools!

Something to consider is order up one of the LaRue rifles, as the back log is pretty lengthy. You can always cancel it if you select another manufacturer.
