I've never tried a San Tan anything, but I own a CMT billet set and I am L-O-V-I-N-G IT. The rainier looks very very good too. I don't know if I want to buy uppers and lowers from a bunch of different places because I love having a matched set. Don't know why, but I do.

I own a few Rainier parts and I would buy anything they sell pretty much with 100% confidence. Same thing with CMT.

I've toyed with the idea to buy some more uppers and lowers just for the hell of it, but I have no idea what I would build with them yet, although I keep coming back to getting a upper reciever, a match barrel and a longer optic for my longer range and/or paper punching needs. But now that I have my trust set up I can file for some sweet SBR love.

Next up on my list is a suppressor, but threads like this with pics like those above are mighty tempting.

Speaking of shell deflectors... I really do wonder what good they are. I have a slick side upper and I have absolutely zero issues with it. The ONLY thing is depending on the ammo I am shooting the brass will pile up about 4 o'clock and if I shoot something else more hot it piles up about 5 o'clock. I have no shell deflector and it makes no difference (to me). I started out worried about it, but that was solved after half an hour shooting.

I also don't have a forward assist which I find to not be an issue either. The only situation I could tell where it would make a difference is if you are quietly trying to slide a round into the chamber. But if you just pull it and rip it then there is no problem.
It matters to a lefty like me. Prime example with the T&E rifle. I shot a test mag and a good portion either hit my cheek or just barely missed it. The deflector does just enough to keep the brass out of my face.

Did Mega machine these?
I think it was a colab with CMT.

Very Nice..

Love the trend of support for southpaw shooters. And yes slick side uppers for lefty's is pretty rough. The shorter blackout cases seem to be the worst for me getting hit in the face with brass.

John Hwang

9 April 2015, 11:31

It's also great for right handed shooters because you never know what side you may need to seek cover from. Thanks for all the kind words on the lowers. We have been working with CMT on design for quite some time. We flared out the mag release button for easier engagement.

My wife shoots rifle left handed and finds the slick side uppers easeir to use the charging handle. The FA gets in her way when trying to use the charging handle. No issues with brass.....I would her about that...LOL

I've got a few of the Chainsaw Gen 2s. Except for one with anodizing thats gray-ish in color, the defects i found were extremely minor and took a while to find. My Gen 3 was purchased as a complete rifle (from Rainier Arms coincidently), and it's flawless.
