paramajic4 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hey all, 3 gun season here is Colorado will be over in a couple of months and i'm already thinking about off-season stuff. Looking to replace my primary AR as its getting a little tired. Was thinking it would be nice to know what guys (and girls) would build if they were going down that road. I know I could just buy a completed rifle from a quality company (but wheres the fun in that). So, if you're game, post your dream build. Would like to know all the components (receivers, barrels, triggers, etc), basically everything. Also, if you feel up to it, an explanation on why you would use what you listed would be cool. Looking forward to seeing the info. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Your timing is excellent From what I've seen, the bottom has fallen out of the AR market, and prices are Way Below what they were before The Election. I'm guessing, everyone stocked way up on parts/rifles before the election, and are now stuck with much less demand than they anticipated. Should be able to get some real good deals on all AR parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James3Gunna Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I would like to put together a lighter rifle. Here are some specs that I had in mind: F1 3G billet matched receiver set BSF 16" barrel Doublestar Big Timber Break (to close the hand guard gap) Lancer CF 15" octagon handguard or Samson lightweight SXS 15" rail Lancer fixed CF rifle length stock Hiperfire 24C trigger Iron City Rifle Works enhanced competition BCG JP silent capture spring would be nice but not a necessity JP adjustable gas block Still kicking things around, as I research more about it.

paramajic4 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Lighter would be nice, my current rifle is pretty light but with the new stuff out there it could be lighter. Would love a PROOF barrel but very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the same thing as a Proof barrel but more reasonably priced. https://www.bsfbarrels.com/product-page/223-wylde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dream-ish AR is in progress of being built right now: Aero Upper/Lower (not dream, budget, but it works) SLR Helix 15" Handguard Hiperfire 24C (Eclipse would be dream but again budget) Ballistic Advantage 18" Fluted SS Barrel SJC Titan SS Comp Mission First Stock Ergo Tactical Deluxe Grip Superlative Arms Adjustable Gas Block Low Mass BCG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieD Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I built this about six months ago, it's amazing: SMOS Arms upper/lower/handguard SMOS Arms 13.7" mid length barrel JP gasblock, SCS, ultra low mass BCG, 3 port comp AR Gold trigger Vortex Viper 1-6 This rifle is super flat shooting, low recoil, accurate, and looks great.

Hawk21 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just finished this one up, need to squeeze in some function test and sight in time before match on the 9th. The faxon gunner barrel is super light out front and with the CF handgaurd the gun swings easy, hoping its as accurate as it is good looking!

I've never seen a CF handguard with slots, only tubes! I just bought an SLR Helix which I'm sure I'll be happy with, but maybe the next build...

Hawk21 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Nah I wouldn't recommend that one it's a made in china deal from delta team https://www.deltateamtactical.com/AR-15-Octagon-KeyMod-Carbon-Fiber-Handguard-Gen-4-165-Rifle-Length_p_4845.html You can see the stress marks where it fits on the barrel nut in the picture.... pretty thin material so at that length not sure how it's gonna hold up getting thrown in a dump barrel. If it ever fails I'll grab another brigand arms, which is what my PCC wears and it's rock solid butttt 3x the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stxbordergun Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Just went through this. It started by removing a muzzle brake and then I took the whole damn thing apart and rebuilt it. This is what I ended up with... JP Enterprises: Forged VTAC recievers 2 port brake Rapid config handguard Detent adjustable gas block LMOS carrier Silent captured spring BCM: Bolt Charging handle Reciever extension Stock Grip Barrel is Stretch 16 intermediate gas and the trigger is Geissele SD3G.

CharlieD Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) I just noticed SMOS is making a 16" rifle length gas that may be appealing to you. Here's a pic of my 13.7" midlength with pinned comp. Edited September 20, 2017 by CharlieD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tt350z Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Piecing together a new build . Heck of a deal on a carbon fiber barrel, so why not. At least I'll look good, lol. Have 7 months left on my deployment so I'm gonna wait for sales/new products. Edited September 25, 2017 by tt350z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoIsPat9 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I actually built my dream 3gun rifle last offseason JP brake 18" rifle length PROOF barrel Seekins rail forged upper/lowers Warne scope mount Vortex Razor HD 1-6 Elf flat trigger Luth-Ar Fixed stock Duerk fixed offsets I wouldn't change a thing on this but with the Vortex being close to 2lbs it takes the rifle from 6.5lbs to 8.5lbs even with the proof. IF I had to do it again I'd find a standard 18" barrel with rifle gas and put the money into a Swarovski 1-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahamoti Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'd only change a few things on this rifle to make it a "dream" build... Proof barrel, Swaro 1-8 in an Aero mount, SJC Titan comp.

steviesterno Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I already built mine! did it before light weight was the cool thing, so it's kinda heavy out front. While that's a little annoying on close stuff, I don't bounce around or swing past close stuff. The matched by me weren't won or lost on the transitions or splits, but on the tiny targets at 200+ yards. Not sure if that's still the thing since I haven't been serious in a while, but meh. Lancer Lower Timney trigger Magpul UBR JP 18" barrel with comp JP adjustable gas block Samson 15" tube Trijicon 1-4 in PEPR mount fancy paint by my buddy If money was no object I would probably slap a trijicon 1-8 on it but so far it's done everything I ask of it and more. Comes in at I think 11 or so pounds, but I'm a bit heavier and slower than I should be, so it's not the rifle holding me back. My HD rifle is 8" light barrel 300BO, 7" troy rail with a minimalist stock and red dot. super fast on transitions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamge Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I just want to confirm, the SJC Titan is legal in Tactical Optics and other divisions that use the 1x3" rule for breaks, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
