Bought one of these uppers before last election in the middle of a last minute build out of fear that Hillary or Bernie might get in... Stripped uppers were hard to find at the time and I could not find any main stream name brands or brands I knew of that were in stock at the time so I took a chance on this upper after calling Tactical Edge and clarifying it was in stock BIG MISTAKE! after starting build everything went good till time to put the barrel in the upper it was so tight even with plenty of grease I had to bang on it with a rubber mallet and I do mean I had to bang it hard multiple times multiple minutes!!! after barrel was all the way in I went to put on my ALG rail I took the ALG rail nut and started to put it on to the Tactical Edge upper I tried and tried getting it started every time it felt like it was cross threading checked the rail nut and all looked good checked the upper threads it looked like the threads were kind of close but everything appeared to be fine so after a final Oh well I put it on anyways thinking the threads would loosen up after screwing the barrel nut on and off a few times mating the nut to the receiver another HUGE MISTAKE! it just got worse and worse now I'm sitting here with a POS upper with jacked threads and a rail on it I can not time to get lined and will probably have to reach out to ALG and buy another barrel nut when I buy another upper from another company cause Tactical Edge clearly doesn't know what they are doing or does no
