I'm gathering ideas for my next build. What is the "strongest" upper/lower receivers made? I've read all the forged/billet/etc. stuff, just curious if you had to find the strongest, which one you would choose.
VLTOR MUR uppers are beefy. What's the need for "strong" though? If just going with a .223/5.56 build, I'd just go BCM and forget about it, but then again I'm a BCM fanboy.
Something made from 7075 vs 6061.
From a strength vs weight efficiency perspective, forged beats billet (even if the billet was forged originally).
Unless for aesthetics or "new" functional (ie, side charging) reasons, I see no reason to go with a billet vs forged.

I'm going with marvel arms new adamantium receivers. I hear they are the best in the world.
My next build for me is a Aero precision lower with an geissele ssa trigger and then for an upper I want to build something to the MK12 build so will check out BCM.
Mega. The answer is always Mega.

I like the Mega
I built a wildcat AR with a VLTOR MUR upper sitting on top of a Blackrain lower. The MUR is a nice, solid piece of equipment that didn't break the bank. You can get more expensive milled uppers, but I think the MUR is just as good as any of them.
I have also built on Aero stuff and have been very pleased. I built an AR pistol and most recently an M5 (what they call their AR-10). I used an Aero LPK for the M5 and have to say that their factory trigger is pretty nice to come out of a LPK. I polished it lightly with Metalglo when installing it and I honestly think I'm going to leave it in rather than swap it for an aftermarket trigger.
