I just got my AR15 upper from Insight Shooting Systems and it's a Beast ! Think I'll call it "Wicked Wanda, the Beast". Lee Mosher builds very fine uppers. extremely accurate uppers, and all of mine are shooting in the 3s. I have now three of his uppers. This latest one is in .223 A.I. The barrel was made , at my request, heavy. It has a .850" muzzle and is 26" long. I was spoiled by the two uppers in 20 TAC (driver) in that there's no recoil so you can see the hits through the scope. This one does the same and I think maybe will be more accurate than the 20 TAC (drivers) I have. That says a lot as these are very accurate. So far I've only shot it at one session; but the three groups are all under 1/2 ". There's a .295, a .282 and a .165 ! The .295 is four shots, the others are three. Not bad for first time out,eh? Can't wait to June when we go PD shootin ! Charles

Haven't done this photobucket before. I probably did this wrong. Help me out if I did ,please !

Well, it worked. You can scroll through the pictures. Just click away !Charles

Nice rig and groups.

So what are the particulars, trigger weight, and how much to build an upper that shoots that good? I have a 204 ar on the way, hoping it can shoot double your group size...lol

Allen, sorry I'm late with this and hope you'll catch it. First, great uppers don't come cheap ! I get mine ( and I've had four built by him) from http://www.Insight Shooting Systems.com. Lee attends to the minutest of details because he's a perfectionist. My lowers are now all Rock Rivers with their superb match triggers. I think they break at about three pounds. However, since I will only use these ARs for varmint and bench shooting; I went a step beyond and now have a boss, two stage, bench rest trigger. All I did was replace the disconnect spring with one .005" thinner. Now the RR breaks in ounces, not pounds ! And I'm 100% sure it's as reliable as before the change. I've run 500 plus rounds through it so far with nary a hiccup. Plus, many rounds through the two 20 TAC (driver) ARs. BTW, those 20 TAC (drivers) ARs shoot just as good as the 223 A.I. I wore out my first 223 I got from Lee; not by shooting too much but somehow in storage, rust got into the bore and ruined it . I was one sick shooter ! Never happened before in all my years of shooting; and I pray it won't happen again !
Oh, and if you save your brass, you might want to check out http://www.3bucc.com for his catcher. Again, it's a quality piece so expect to pay. Charles

Thanks Charlie.

I finally got and fired mine today, A YHM lower, DPMS flat top thick wall upper w/ a Jard that breaks at 39 oz with a little creep. Put an old 223 upper on it just to verify function of the trigger w/o buring a lot of 204 ammo ( which I haven't loaded enough yet).


I'll have to look at your Mfg for a second upper, looks like a good choice.


Thanks for the information

Allen

Very nice.
