I've completed my lower and am contemplating which upper to buy. I was going to build it completely but don't feel comfortable with that (yet). The one I'm looking hard at is the Yankee Hill Machine YHM-7810. Anyone have any experience with YHM?



Specs:
* Mil. Spec. Forged 7075-T6 Aluminum YHM Flat Top Upper Receiver
* "T" Marked Upper Receiver
* Forward Assist
* Mil. Spec. Bolt Carrier Assembly
* 16" 4140 Steel Barrel, Heat Treated to RC 25-32
* Chambered in 5.56 N.A.T.O., Chrome-Lined with either a 1:9" or 1:7" Twist
* YHM Diamond Fluting Improves Rigidity and Aids in Barrel Cooling
* YHM Phantom 5C2 Flash Hider / Compensator (YHM-28-5C2)
* YHM Specter Length Diamond Handguard (YHM-9637-DX)
* YHM Forearm Endcap (YHM-9484-A)
* YHM Low Profile Gas Block (YHM-9384)
* YHM Forearm Mounted Flip Front Sight (YHM-9627)
* YHM Flip Rear Sight (YHM-9680)

My lower:
Essential arms Stripped Lower
DPMS LPK
Magpul CTR Stock Dark Earth

Holy thread revival!

Anyway, YH makes some good stuff. That's a good looking upper.

Also, I agree that buying an assembled upper is easier. I would stick to that plan.
