Yankee Hill Machine Uppers - Any good?

[mu2bdriver]

I'm looking at a Specter XL 5.56. Years ago, before the market got flooded with other options, they were considered a premium product and now they've virtually disappeared. Any recent knowledge/reviews on quality? Other manufacturer options in the 'nicer' range also appreciated. I'm not looking for cheap stuff.

When I bought my 2002ish Bushmaster 24" Varmint I actually noticed that Bush used some YHM machined components on the rifle for production. The folding front sight, and the tubular FF handguard was YHM , very impressive quality. I would say GTG with YHM

I don't have a Yankee Hill upper but I am pretty sure the NES lowers from an older group buy are Yankee Hill. They are first rate.

I don’t have any complete upper assemblies, but I have had a ton of their stuff over the years. Everything has been solid.

They build quality stuff, family owned and run business. (I own a number of their products, uppers/lowers included). They still build and sell all sorts of accessories, uppers, lowers, complete AR's, but they have been leaning towards suppressors the last couple years.

The NES lower I have is nice and its the only YHM product I have seen on the line at the 2 clubs I belong to. Just dont see much YHM stuff here in MA

. . . Just dont see much YHM stuff here in MA

Which is odd because they are HQd in the Commonwealth.

Quality was so much better when they were in Florence . . .

J/K don't we always say that?
