AR-15 remorse...
so i bought my first ar-15 last year, for a "fun to shoot", S.H.T.F. and varmint rifle. after mounting a scope to the handle i was shocked with the way it looked and felt with the scope way the hell up there, and noticed I made the mistake of getting the fixed upper carry handle, i now know i want flat top upper with a bull barrel and free float handgaurd. so what would be the best choice / most cost effective; sell my upper and buy the setup i want? or sell the whole ar-15 and start over?

If it's a factory rifle, I would sell it as is.
I would contact Grant and have him build you exactly what you want. |

If your happy with the lower then I would probably buy just the upper. that part does not need an FFL transfer and can come direct to you. Saving some money overall.

Sell the upper and get the one you like. You could even trade it towards some credit for the upper that you really want.

It may be easier to sell the whole rifle. You might loose a bit in the long run if you part it out. My .02¢

Get a stripped flattop upper and keep the old one as a spare, or sell/trade it.

Depending on how much you feel you can do a stripped upper may be the way to go. A stripped upper would require you install the barrel and barrel extension (special tools required). However, perhaps you can find much more info or a possible trade on this site. AR15.COM
