I think these are pretty nice uppers for the money. If you're looking for more of an accuracy build vs. a lightweight run n' gun rifle and don't want to spend a lot, they're a nice choice. The the stiffness added by the thick walls helps. I recently used one on the .204 Ruger upper I put together:
7029 is pretty strong stuff and shouldn't be an issue--especially on such a beefy design. The possible downside of an extruded part is that raw extrusions aren't held to as tight tolerances as a machined part can be. Of course much of them is finish machined obviously so they can hold tolerances to whatever they want on those surfaces. But they aren't machined from a block 100% so they're much cheaper to make and you can't rely on all the dimensions being as perfect as a well machined billet upper.
If putting together a high $ no-expenses spared rifle, by all means, I'd lean toward a billet upper. But with things being so hard to get these days I'd snap up a couple of these just because you can and they are a pretty good value if you ever need an upper for a build.

Nice looking rifle, who made the free float tube?

Too me it's "just right"--not too large diameter, not too small; not too rough on the hands, not too slick, etc. I had to put "grip tape" on the tube that came with the 6mm to feel more secure when running around with it.
I also like the method of attachment better than the standard JP tubes--not so much reliance on locktite. And adding pic rail chunks is much nicer with the threaded holes vs. slots that require a backing plate.
