I've been shopping around for a new upper for my ar. The rifle is a Olympic flat top pinker with 16" heavy couture barrel with a 1-9 twist I think. I was looking at one of these from Daytona tac.
24" Fluted Barrel Upper Chrome Moly Phosphate Processed with 15" Ultra Light Keymod Rail
Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle Included.
•Chamber - .223 Wylde , M4 Feed Ramp (Shoots both .223 and 5.56)
•Barrel Twist - 1x9
•Barrel Thread - None
•Barrel Steel Chrome molly stress relieved. Manganese phosphate
•Flash Hider - None
•Handguard - 15" Anodized Ultra light Keymod
•Gas Block - Low Profile Gas Block
•Upper Receiver - A4 Flat-Top Upper
• Bolt Carrier Group - M-16 Mil-Spec Included
•Charging Handle - Included
First concern is fit and function, should be interchangeable upper with my existing lower right? Second, I did some research on the Wylde chamber but not sure I understand it. 223 with 556 throat? Any special loading considerations with this chamber? would I get better accuracy at distance with a longer barrel? With 1-9 twist it cant stabilize heavy for cal bullets well?
Their price for this complete upper looks pretty good. Down side is no threads on barrel for muzzle device. Just looking to improve an already decent rifle, maybe shoot longer distances, heavier bullets, improve accuracy...
Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks all.
