    It took about 5-7 business days before I got a shipping confirmation, sent priority mail. Packing was fair, tube inside a box but IMHO, couda used more than 2 layers of small sized bubble wrap around the upper.

    The barrel has the nitride coating on it so it's shiny, that's different. The keymod rail has a smaller diameter than a carbine handguard I believe. There was a place where the assembler tattooed the anodizing on the rail near a mounting screw and did a terrible job "patching" it. All I did was run 5 rds thru it for a function check so can't comment on the accuracy. Here's some pics. Gonna sell it by the way, impulse buy, I gotta stay away from the buy now button after too many adult beverages....

    Thanks, looks purty though, and I completely understand about adult beverage and pushing buttons. Just ask my Mrs!

    I just received my upper after waiting about 15 days. I got two promises to ship and they had an excuse for both time it had not shipped yet. But it was in the middle of a crazy run on uppers.

    Now to the main complaint. I ordered an extra flash hider from them. The regular bird cage hider came on the upper. I ordered a different one for another rifle I have. CBC took it upon themselves to put on the extra/different flash hider onto the upper I ordered from them without asking me etc.

    To make matters worse, it looks like a child with channel lock plyers put it on. The finish is all scratched and beat to death.

    The upper looks fine luckily since they just through the standard bird cage hider in with the upper allowing it to rattle against the upper all through shipping transit. Box sounded like a spray can bottle when I got it.

    I called them the other day and they asked for pictures to see about sending out a replacement. Well that was a few days ago and I have not heard anything back from them.

    I spoke with CBC today and they are finally shipping out a replacement flash hider to me. They seem like a decent small company that can become overwhelmed easily when they get a lot of orders. And mistakes happen. They seemed to be a little overwhelmed right now and said they were just getting to emails sent last week.

    Hopefully I'll have my complete order in good shape soon!

    Sort of! They sent another flash hider and it was still kind of a crappy finish on it. I ended up putting on another flash hider. Their upper has been just fine though for everything I've used it for!
