WidowsSon683 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Watched a youtube video on installing an A2 stock. Figured out that the stock itself holds the takedown detent spring. Crisis averted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoots SWEET.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCOShooter Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I love the SJC Titan and also the Rolling Thunder. If its just for hunting purposes the Yankee Hill 80 is great and not overly expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polymerfeelsweirdman Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Miculek comp is great and cheap PS no matter how much researching you do you will end up wanting to replace parts down the road so just make sure you get something good but don't fret about it not being perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 +1 on the CMC triggers. Oh and don't forget your 6.5 grendel upper for maximum hunting/long range plinking versatility. Don't get me wrong, I think 223 is a useful moderate range whitetail round and I've seen it work great but for anything bigger or further away more horsepower is recommended. Hunting only demands 0.7% of my gun interest and longer range only uses 6% and the rest is all 3gun so I don't own one yet but all 6.5g guns I've seen have been impressive.

WidowsSon683 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have a tentative build list: Budget $1400 AeroPrecision upper/lower set $131 Maric Arms 223 wylde 18" SS fluted mid length barrel $155 Magpul MOE Rifle stock $67 Trinity 15" free float fore end $70 PSA 5.56 Full Auto NiB BCG $120 DPMS lower parts kit (minus trigger parts) $30 Random upper parts $24 Double Star charging handle with TacLatch $37 AeroPrecision buffer tube kit $40 CMC Tactical Trigger group curved $125 BTE low profile adj. gas block and mid length tube $55 45 deg. offset irons $30 All the above are either being shipped or are already received. All im missing is my muzzle brake and optics. Fortis RED black brake $68 Nikon P223 $200 All I have left to do is install the barrel/free float/gas block & tube and brake when I order it. This will put me right at $1152. $250 under budget. But ill probably blow that on mags and ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves_not_here Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I would put the extra money on optics. The Nikon is nice, I love mine, but there are nicer. Burris is a little faster for me and is where my current budget takes me. Noticeable difference in clarity, brightness and being able to use the scope. I am beginning to truly believe the saying that optics should cost as much as the rifle. DNH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dauntedfuture Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It sounds like you are on the right track. If I have to pick the two most critical items on a rifle I would say that its the sighting system and the trigger. This assumes you have a reliable gun that shoots OK, and OK is subjective. A good piece of glass is the way to go and you will notice this item every single time you pull the trigger. Might I suggest a used LEUPOLD Mk4 1.5-5 you can get them for 500-600 used if you look around and its money well spent. Different hand guards and comps are nice but you will not notice them all that much. You can live without a good trigger; I shot high master scores with a stock COLT AR trigger in the past so it CAN be done. I have a CMC trigger (I think) and its a good choice. I you have the opportunity, you might try a few others out there before you buy as for another 100 you could have almost anything out there and the trigger is the other item that you will notice each and every other time. I don't know anything about that barrel so I cant comment...experience does tell me that you get what you pay for when it comes to a barrel....

Alaskapopo Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yep building is way better. I doubt I will buy another complete AR15 or AR10 type firearm again. Its so much better to assemble them yourself and get exactly what you want and spend less doing it. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salsantini Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 When choosing the barrel keep in mind a 5.56 nato chamber can shoot .223. A .223 chamber is not designed to shoot 5.56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
