Wondering what people think. Can or is there any COMPLETE UPPERS including bcg out there for 500 or under? These don't need to be uppers that you would go to war with. Just ones that will work and perform well without breaking the bank.

I always look on BCM's website and can never seem to find any uppers for 400. I see 16 in for 489 then you add in bcg brings it over 600 plus cost to pin and weld muzzle break.
As of current: These are their 16 inch ans 14.5 inch uppers for $399.00:

Of course, as I made this list for you, I noticed these are all out of stock at the moment, so that obviously doesn't work. Does tell you something about them though... Best Uppers out there at a decent price.
I had a less than stellar experience with BCM's customer service, but they do have an excellent reputation for quality.

Do tell. Feedback is good. I know it is IMPOSSIBLE to get BCM people on the phone myself...
I ordered one of their stripped M4 uppers, it was in rough shape; inside where the BCG rides was deeply scratched up and the anodizing all over looked awful. The second issue I could have over looked, but it seemed like someone took a sharp pick or something similar and went to town on the inside.
I contacted them by email and got an RMA, sent it back (on my dime) and they emailed me a few days later telling me "That's how they are, you should go to a gun show and hand select an upper or get a billet piece.", and then decided they'd just refund me, minus a restocking fee without consulting me. I would have been happy if they just took the extra 2 minutes to pick one out of the production line that was in good shape (free of major scratching inside) to replace the poor quality unit. No effort to retain or satisfy me as a customer, basically told me to pound sand instead of working with me.
I then wrote them a 3 page letter professionally and politely laying out my experience and dissatisfaction in dealing with tem and didn't get so much as an email or phone call in apology.
That sucks. That would make me not want to order from them
This is a hard deal to beat.

A massified Spikes M4 upper will set you back $625 shipped. It's about $540 shipped if you leave the lug and flash hider on it. I have one of their uppers, and I couldn't be happier.
They come complete with BCG (M16) and a buffer (carbine)

Spikes complete uppers are around 500. Great price for what you get. There was a 50 dollar off coupon not sure if its still active
