Since between the fire, move and Kung Flu I don't think I'll be seeing a Palmetto State Arsenal AK103 any time soon, I've decided to upgrade my very basic AR carbine.
Is there any place in the NE Ohio area (Cuyahoga, Lorain, Summit, etc.) that has a good variety of decent quality complete AR uppers?
There's a place on Canal Rd. that I've been to that seemed to have uppers, but I didn't pay all that much attention since I wasn't in the market at the time.
I'm looking at:
16"
mid-length
full length M-Lock forend
Including quality bolt carrier group
I'd like some place local, so that I can handle what I'm getting.

You can order from anyone online and ship an upper right to your door. No need to limit yourself to local.
BCM is my go-to for quality builds. It's pricy but this is the one that I have and it's a tack-driver and it's in stock. BCGs are a dime a dozen on AR forums if you want to save some money.

I'd like to be able to handle what I'm buying before I buy it. I'd rather not have to pay to send something back because I don't like it and would have found that out by handling it before I bought it.

Custom Small Arms located in Parma Armory if you wish to assemble your own.. Not sure if he sells complete uppers as well, or just all the parts, tools.
Also has benches with tools you can rent to assemble it there.
was only able to stop in quickly over lunch one day.

Is that the place that's in the old National Guard armory?

Just looks like an old nondescript industrial building.
Exit 480 at Tiedeman road and head south, Cross Brookpark road (Tiedeman turns into Hauserman road when you cross Brookpark) and the Parma Armory will be on the left side.
I thought it was just a gunstore and range, but once I got inside I see there's a couple small firearm businesses as well, like this one that does the custom AR stuff. https://www.theparmaarmory.com/tennants ... -arms-new/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Just came back from there. Bought a set of backup sights for my Bear Creek upper that comes tomorrow.
And it is indeed the place I visited one before. And it does look like an Army Reserve/National Guard center, in fact, just like the one I had in Illinois.
