AR Upper parts for my build. What do you think?

[Big_D]

I've never heard of JSE. Are they any good?

Yes, they are... especially if you're on a tight budget.

I don't see a muzzle device or gas tube included at that link so add those plus the pin/weld cost and your cost goes up.
I just built a precision upper & it doesn't take long to go over budget even if you can wait for a deal to pop up if you're using quality parts.

I might just go with some of the uppers at JSE that Big_D recommended. So far, all I've seen ar good reviews on them.
It's definitely been hard to stay within the $600ish range that I've set for myself.

I can pin and weld a muzzle device for anyone who needs it. I prefer the 14.5 inch barrel so I have gotten pretty good at it.

This http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XAIM16GOV&name=AIM+16%22+CHF+Midlength+MOE+.223%2f5.56+URG&groupid=586 is a deal I keep missing: it has a Daniel Defense barrel and all it needs is a rear sight to be complete. Well under your $600 budget.

You'd have a real hard time trying to build that upper for less than that! Even comes with a nickel boron carrier...

That's why they sell out so quickly...

I have one of these and it might be my most accurate rifle.

OP-you should check Palmetto State's "blemished" stuff. It comes up from time to time, just check their site often. They are usually a real good buy when you consider everything.

I've seen a couple of those, but PSA doesn't seem to show the prices on items that are out of stock. I guess I'll just have to look more often.

Why haven't I seen this before?!

Regarding PSA, that is true, the price will show up when they have one available, but if you see it and want it, act fast, those usually sell out the same day they are posted.
Just an fyi, I bought a blemished PSA upper (standard m4, carbine length, no charging handle, no BCG) for $369, delivered to my door. Oh and I spent 30 minutes looking for the blemish and never found it.
