What is your ratio of uppers to lowers?

[-XL-]

Most people say one of the benefits of the AR platform is the ability to swap uppers, but lots of folks seem to be stocking up on the lower receivers. Do you plan to buy several uppers for each down the road, or just keep them in reserve.

Mine is 1:1, but I hope to be at 2:1 or 2.5:1 some day (two lowers with four or six uppers).

1 Upper:2 Lowers


Waiting on my kit to even the ratio

Uppers to lowers . . . was almost 2 to 1 before the tragic boating accident . . . but then there was the election and a second tragic boating accident caused the ratio to change to 1 to 2 with rumors that some additional uppers may be sinking to the bottom of the lake soon bringing the ratio to about 1 to 1. However, I suspect it will go back to something where more uppers exist than lowers eventually.

Right at present I have far more lowers than uppers...

1:1

I've found that "modular" guns are a good idea in theory, but my "extra" uppers always seem to grow new lowers underneath 'em eventually...

I have 5 stripped lowers, I have more than that in complete rifles.

One would be wise to keep this info to yourself.

I own title II items, big brother knows all they need to know about me.

I seem to have the same problem. It really doesn't matter whether I plant the upper or the lower in the safe, they always seem to sprout the other piece. At least that's what I tell my wife.

Just Enough

I am happy to have my 1 to 1 but would prefer more.

1:1 (for the time being) It's easier to get them in the house one piece at a time. "It's just a spare, honey."

1:1
and it's all I'll need.
