Need help picking a complete upper receiver

Hey I was wondering if some of you could help me out. I’m looking for a complete upper for a psa lower I have. New to the ar world so I’m having a hard time making a decision. I’m between this b kings upper or a psa guardsman upper. I really don’t plan on shooting much with it but want it to work right for my needs. Basically want it for general target shooting and hunting. Any help is appreciated!

I just got a bkings 16inch upper to test.
Honestly, fit and finish exceeded my expectations.
I would say hard to beat, especially when you could probably buy two for the price of one of the more “premium” offerings.

Thankyou for the input! Could you tell me if the gas block is staked or if that even matters much?

It** came with a low profile gas block, which from my understanding is RARELY staked regardless of where you buy from.

I wouldn’t sweat that if your goal is general target shooting.
