Startingover

I like the sound of that different length idea

What's everyone's preferred brand of safety lever? Also- ambi or one sided? I have been shooting some of my buddies guns, and I have noticed that sometimes the ambi style seems to get tangled up in my trigger finger, if I am not used to the gun. I am sure it's something I can work through. Plus I am sure the ambi would be good for weird off hand stuff. What's your opinions?

I have many of the parts sitting here now, and wait for the receiver set is killing me. What's everyone's preferred safety lever?

Sounds like you have an astigmatism?

Mine showed up today, so all I need now is my upper and lower to be made. Waiting has given me time for homework though.

My Fortis break is definitely working at 43.684% efficiency based on the tape test. My barrel is 10.5" so YMMV. I ended up switching to a Ranier Arms Ultramatch barrel, so I am going to try a Epsilon VG6 instead (my original choice) The reason I was going with the Fortis is the 36 vs 28 threads on the CMMG barrel I was originally going to use.

You can use them without the extra tabs. Plus many handles seem to run $75-120

I thought about these, good price

I have noticed that the tube type restricted my peripheral view with the knobs and the big tube etc.

I haven't gotten mine yet, they are on the way. But I am 99% sure the link I posted is the correct one.

Today I bought a Ranier Arms Ultramatch barrel, VG6 muzzle brake, and a Next Level Armament charging handle. (I am not going to use the CMMG barrel and Fortis brake.) I got the NLA charging handle because it's was a little less expensive than the Raptor, and they make one for my s&w15-22.

I have been looking for a barrel that will take most any load, so I got a long 147g xtp to use for the plunk test. CMMG = not even close, wouldn't fit at all. Faxon = went in, but not all the way, and wouldn't spin at all. Ranier Arms Ultramatch = no problem, spun nice and smooth.

I will be running factory 115g blazer brass ammo (93.7% of the time) With a 16"barrel with a Fortis Brake. I will be very curious to see how much it (the brake) is working

After watching that, of I didn't already have the blitzkrieg sitting here, I would probably go with the Taccom

Thanks Great vid and explanation

I went with the Atlas S One handguard thinking the rail section at he front will hopefully help me get a spot to grab the same most of the time

Thanks guys

Good info Thanks

Thanks for the info, but I can't seem to find it. (I may be looking in the wrong place) Is "SI" Strike industry?

That is who I currently buy all my ammo from. They have a program to get it even cheaper with free shipping on any amount. Just ordered a case of bulk 115g blazer brass for $0.17 per rnd, delivered.

Now I am looking at charging handles, any recommendations or stuff I should stay away from? Will the "latchless" style work?

I don't know much about the ammo, other than the price is too high. I can have blazer brass delivered to the house for less.

Great list, thanks. I have done a lot of reading, aND asked lots of questions in preparation for my build. The only thing that I was sure of that wasn't on your list is the Elftman AR9 trigger

I was going to go with Epsilon VG6, but the CMMG barrel I am using is 1/2-36 (Got a super deal on it from 777 Tactical) So I am limited on available brakes.
