WAterTriAd's Review of SilencerCo SCO15 AR-15 Stripped Upper Receiver
The SCO15 lower is a solid good feeling lower setup for an ambidextrous bolt catch release. The Type III hard anodized coating is smooth and the etching for the logos is sharp and speaks volumes about it's quality. I wanted to get the matching upper, thinking that it was the same quality and that it would pair well with the lower as it's the same metal, same coating, and advertised as the same manufacturing process. I was very wrong.
This upper is a terrible waste of money, I'd give it 0 stars if I could. I honestly thought I got a counterfeit or manufacturing error when I first got it, but it's just terrible. There are no special features on the upper, it doesn't even have standard features like etched rail numbers. The logo and branding make the upper look fake when paired with the lower, as they are fuzzy and look stamped instead of laser engraved. It insanely obvious there is nothing precision about this and the price is entirely because you paid $250 for the lower so you'll likely make a terrible decision and buy this as well. But, the lower comes pre-cut and with an ambidextrous bolt release and so it's only slightly expensive for its feature set while this is just grossly over-costed and under-featured.
You can literally buy higher quality, more feature rich uppers that will better match the quality of the lower for half the price.
Honestly, this upper is so terrible, it's put me off the entire brand because this is pure and udder disrespect for their customers.
Pros:
Sort of has SilencerCo branding
Cons:
Coating feels like mid grit sand paper
No special features
Missing high end features
Twice as expensive as nicer uppers
Branding makes it look like a knock off
Pairs terribly with the SCO15 lower
Best Used for:
Wasting money that could have been spent on other better parts
Would Recommend:
No
