I am starting to gather parts to build an AR-15. I already have an 80% lower on the way, along with a buffer tube, butt stock, and grip. I am looking at a Veriforce Tactical upper/handguard set. The reason is because they are white, which will match the other parts I have ordered. The AR is basically a Star Wars theme, which will be white with black accents (forward assist, charge handle, safety, trigger, etc.).
They have the upper/handguard set in white, but the upper is 6061-T6 aluminum. Now, their website says it is machined from billet, but I don't know any more than that. In my reading, most places say to get a 7075-T6 upper. So my question is, will the 6061-T6 upper be okay?? I can just order the handguard, then purchase a different upper and have it cerakoted. If anyone has used a 6061-T6 upper, let me know what you experience has been (the 80% lower is a Cerro Forge 7075-T6 part). Thanks in advance.
