That's cheap for a complete upper!! Have no idea about the company. I would give it a shot.

Debating ordering one myself
 
I've got a couple Glock barrels on the way from them. First time I've ordered. If their feedback is legit it's probably all good.
 
Just ordered a 7.5” complete upper for $219.99 plus $4 shipping and no tax. That has to be lowest standard shipping I’ve seen in years. Will give an update for future reference.
 
I've had good experiences mostly from Combat Armory. Prices were super-cheap on sale items in the past, and until ~last week they offered free shipping on orders $15 and up. Their Glock Strikers (Firing Pins) seem okay, though a little 'looser' than OEM, and they subsequently rattle more. Could be a way to fix a 'too tight' Build situation caused by Cerakote getting into the Striker Channel I suppose... Springs aren't up to OEM spec, but close enough that they work, I can't recall ever buying any of their polymer components though.

There were more than a few complaints about their Trigger Housings, IIRC -I never bought one though. I did try one of their Glock barrels, and was NOT impressed. Aside from the finish not being what I expected, sharp machining edges and a hood cut too short to even make contact with the Breach Face brought my opinion of it below ever wanting to buy another one. It also fit loosely enough in lock-up to remind me of a run-out barrel with 5,000 rounds through it... I've run it, it fed well enough and was more accurate than I am, despite the loose lock-up. But it should have been better, I would buy AIM Surplus' target-crowned/flush-cut "Blem" barrels all day over the ones from CA.

I've seen I think a couple of their AR parts, they seemed okay but again maybe on the loose end of tolerances, though I am not much of an AR expert. I wasn't happy that they bumped some 'sale' priced items up 100% while they were in my cart, and still proudly advertised them as 'on sale'. My fault for not pulling the trigger (so to speak) faster, but it reminded me of Lone Wolf's shenanigans when the new owners took charge... CA also started charging shipping fees at the same time, so I passed on placing the order altogether this time around.

They are a decent company overall though, and I don't think I've heard anyone complain about their complete AR Uppers...
 
I had an issue with Combat Armory a year ago, they had shipped the wrong item. After 4 emails and 3 phone calls, no response.
That said, I decided to give them another chance and last week ordered a Combat Armory serialized frame for Glock - it appeared to be a good value. It's been 8 days and has not been shipped. I suppose nothing is a good value if it never gets shipped. Anyone else have trouble with them shipping orders?

8 days here too. They did send me a tracking number which still says "label created, awaiting item". Everyone's been busy lately though so I'll give em 2 weeks till I worry.
 
13 days and still "Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item". So maybe shipping speed isn't their specialty.
 
PSA and Masdefense both shipped within 3 businessdays of my order delivery time is less than 7 days from both for me if you are looking for an alternative.
 
I’m curious about how everyone’s orders go. Some companies aren’t great at shipping but as long as products are received it’s all good. Give feed back on your experience, If you get your items and how customer service is. If Combat Armory jerks our members around…they will be off the vender list.
 
The upper I ordered on 5/30 from Combat Armory was shipped and suppose to arrive today, but traveling and had UPS hold off delivering until I’m back at home.
 
I said I'd give em two weeks and I should have stuck with that as USPS just received my package from Combat Armory after exactly 14 days. Tracking now says: "Accepted at USPS Origin Facility". Yay!
 
Can anyone provide an update on how their Combat Armory AR kits look? Their kit for $299 ($250 during Memorial Day) is still the best deal out there. I know shipping is slow and customer service isn’t the best (I understand it’s a small operation) but I’m curious about the quality of their AR kits
 
Here’s my first 80% AR. I have a Combat Armory upper on it. I really like it. 209BF2A5-F986-4984-8572-C16DC4F49A2B.jpeg209BF2A5-F986-4984-8572-C16DC4F49A2B.jpeg

Sale prices are back on for the 4th.
 
I have had good luck with their handgun parts and just got a gas tube. I’ve always found them to ship pretty fast.
