Why build on an integrally suppressed ar upper?
Integrally Suppressed AR Upper
When choosing a host weapon for an integral silencer build, the choice has lately has been to build on the ambiguous AR chassis. The integrally suppressed ar upper has become the main platform for these next generation builds. The main reasons are two fold, the parts are plentiful and interchangeable. Price is another aspect, but it is a lesser spec from what we are seeing. People like to use custom built lowers and things these days and it is easy to just drop a prebuilt upper on your favorite lower and hit the range.
When this is done the guns can be made universal so that we can make them fit many aftermarket parts. When we build an integrally suppressed ar upper into something like the Zulu shown above, we will use high quality components. Aftermarket parts can be sourced easily by the end user should they want to customize it at some point. Parts from places like Aero Precision and St. Croix are just some of the brands we use. This is because we want to give our users the most choices possible when it comes to customizing their build.
The Future…
Until there is a more adaptable and wide spread design that hits the market, AR chassises will dominate. We think the integrally suppressed ar upper will carry on as the choice for project builders all over the country. When we chose to build our two most popular integrals, this was a choice that was paramount for us. The AR platform is also the most common and this made the most sense to us as well. You want to serve as many people as possible when you offer a product to the market. This made the AR chassis the obvious choice as well. We will get questions about why we didn’t use the SIG or the (insert any number of other kinda of firearms here). This does come up pretty often, but in the end it turns out that the most use this platform. The others usually learn we do custom builds and them move over to that conversation instead.
