[parts] NBS Barreled Chrome Line Uppers - $139
Posted by Crypticparabellum@reddit | gundeals | View on Reddit | 43 comments
They have the 14.5" at $139 and the 16" at $149
They both say "chrome lined" however the 16" variant says guaranteed sub moa (perhaps a better barrel?).
Not sure who is OEMing their barrels but I am in for one.

So for the 14.5," it doesn't say anything about the brake being pinned & welded. So I assume I'll have to do that myself, in order to put this on a rifle lower?
Disposable-01@reddit
Looks like a standard A2 flash hider, so too short to pin and weld anyway. You need a 14.7" barrel or a longer muzzle device to reach 16"
Trope360@reddit
You can get a different muzzle break of course very cheap and easy to swap... I ordered this to gift as a starter for family I'm going to help them on their first build and we'll just pin and weld a Rearden.
Disposable-01@reddit
Absolutely. I just wouldn't want to see someone get fucked by .2"^that's what she said?
Trope360@reddit
My wifes boyfriend doesn't complain 🙃 wait...

What a time to be alive...one can put together an ar with free floating handguard and chrome lined upper for abt $300.
tyraywilson@reddit
We used to be able to get AR-15s for 300 if you waited for really good sales. Not in 1974, but shortly before covid. Like 2019

Yeah I saw this - is it real? I went “mid/premium” for the chrome lining. Guess I didn’t have to? Is this a new thing?
jay_kay25@reddit
Who makes the barrel for this?
Fair_Still_4365@reddit
Could these be Del Ton barrels from going out of business sale ???
jay_kay25@reddit
BA or del ton would be best case scenario. Just please god don’t let it be BCA.. I ordered it
Fair_Still_4365@reddit
this smells like BCA. Should have just ordered directly from Del Ton
Antique_Item_3753@reddit
Naw. I haven’t seen any BCA stuff resold under NBS. I have a bunch of their stuff. 99% sure it’s del-ton
PhysicalGuidance358@reddit
If BA they would be labeled as QPQ
rebelite1337@reddit
Description says 1:9 twist which is typical of Del-Ton
Bearloom@reddit
Chrome lines cheap 1:9 twist... seems like Del-Ton.

Almost anything can be sub moa guaranteed*
*when the ammo you use is never good enough to qualify for the guarantee
Old_MI_Runner@reddit
And when they only guarantee a single 3-round group of expensive match ammo. They may not see how many times they attempted a three round group before they achieved it. Some companies will charge the consumer $100 or more for their testing if their conclusion is that it passed their sub MOA testing.

14.5 is out of stock now.
S0VNARK0M@reddit
😭
Panthean@reddit
I fucking hate that I have to pass this up, seems like an awesome deal.
14,5" chrome lined barrel, 7 sided (albeit basic) handguard.. besides the carbine gas, this is a real solid configuration.
But sadly I have to face the fact that I already have a ton of extra uppers, and I'm probably better off saving $139 for something I really need.
This will make a great budget upper for someone, sadly that someone isn't me. It pains me to pass a good buy
WaveMan47@reddit
I bought this handguard for a 22lr build and I was actually surprised by how nice it is for the money. Your logic is sound though, use that $139 on ammo!
Meinek13@reddit
Just went out of stock as I was checking out
mojobolt@reddit
insane deal
Askren@reddit
Missed out on the 16", and I don't need a 14" right now.
Shame. This might have been an upgrade from my Andro's baseline parts.
Slank32@reddit
I don’t need another one but damn $140…….im looking at my credit card right now like 👀
cash-only@reddit
No balls
Slank32@reddit
I’m poors 😅
ChiliTodayHotTomale@reddit
Pass due to carbine or BIN?
richiecotite@reddit
Aint nun wrong with carbine gas on a 14.5
geopede@reddit
BIN if you want a budget upper. 14.5” makes carbine a lot more reasonable, and you can always mess around with buffer weights.
flyer_kaz@reddit
I was gonna jump on this and slap it on a PSA complete lower for another $140 but when I was looking at the barrel details it says 1/9 twist… big sad. 😢
accounts_baleeted@reddit
Carbine gas is worse than the twist.
You have to be doing bench rest precision work with expensive ammo to even notice the impact of the twist.
Crypticparabellum@reddit (OP)
1/9 is fine for most bullets and can still stabilize heavier 77gr fine.
CrankBot@reddit
Gal dang can we get some 11.5 or 12.5 at this price? 😁
YaBoiRook@reddit
Nah fr. I'd even settle for 10.3 lol
geopede@reddit
I’d guess the 16” having the sub-MOA guarantee is simply due to slightly higher velocity.
Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit
16" is out of stock
Crypticparabellum@reddit (OP)
Went quick. They were showing like 10 left when I posted.
PotatoTac@reddit
Crazy cheap for a chrome lined upper..
Foxxy__Cleopatra@reddit
This is a great deal even without the sub-moa guarantee.
