Cbc ar-15 pistol kit - CBC Industries AR-15 Complete Upper Receiver Pistol Kit, .223/5.56, 10.5in

I've never been big on the budget AR's, but I figured I would give this a try anyways at the price point of this kit. Optics Planet has always been great on getting the products to me in a timely manner and I received this pretty fast with free shipping. After unboxing the AR kit, I noticed the dust cover would not stay closed on the upper. I had seen reviews of this problem from a while back, but thought that it would have been fixed by now. I contacted CBC Industries and they responded quickly. They told me to send the upper back in, and they would see what's going on. The only problem with that, is I would be paying to have it shipped to them. So I started comparing the upper and dust cover to my other AR uppers. After checking them out, I went ahead and swapped the dust covers and problem solved! I ordered a new dust cover assembly for $10 instead of paying who knows how much to ship the upper back to CBC Industries. To me, this problem should have been caught at the factory. It is pretty obvious if a dust cover is not staying closed on its own. I'm still waiting on my lower to come in, so I don't have any feedback on the parts kit, but everything seems to be there. Overall the finish looks good and I will be happy after I get this thing put together. I Have reached out to CBC Industries to see if they can hook me up with some apparel, etc. in exchange for fixing this issue myself. To anyone looking at this kit, I think there are products around the same price range that have better quality control. I hope this review helps anyone considering this kit or any other product from CBC Industries.
