[maxfold]

Those PSA guns are a good place to stsrt IMO. This is most likely why most of us have such a large parts bin.
"Info in <--> Info out" What will this "build be used for ?? At what distance(s) ?? What twist bbl ??
Over the last couple of years I have stocked up on some lowers,both complete and stripped,and other parts to do three different builds. One will most likely be a 300BLK and the other will be a "big bore".
If I have any parts you can use,let me know. ---- SAWMAN

Practically any free float handguard, Midwest industries gets good reviews. PSA Red-dot or a FFP 1-4x scope...

Shooting , range , defensive training , hunting . 15-175 yrds 1/7 twist 16" light barrel , want to go with stouter barrel , heavy bullet , 3/4-full length handguard top and bottom rail , 2-4 x scope , thanks

 

[Jester896]

if you are considering scoping it i would look hard at the newer 1-4-1-8 options with true 1X. That way it can possibly be used similar to a red dot at closer ranges with both eyes open amd still give you good magnification at your longer range you mention

 

[maxfold]

Will do best of both worlds maybe .

Maxfold, are you wanting to assemble your own rifle or buy "ready to shoot"?

I recently picked up a TruGlo 1-6 that I really like.

I have a basic rifle , want to learn on this , improve .then buy a better rifle set up close to what I want ,

Looks like you already did the #1 thing IMHO. Replace the stock trigger. I prefer Geissele myself, but anything is better than the stock trigger.

 

[Murfpcola]

Can you post a pic of your upper? That would help as far as info on replacing handguard. Free-float handguards are generally described by length in inches

This is the hand guard I put on my PSA 16". Its a UTG PRO M-LOK® AR15 13" Super Slim Free Float Hand guard. I put rubber plugs in the unused m-lok slots and wrapped it in grip tape.

Jeezum... Is that a M2 Tripod?

 

[m4a1sof]

No, it's an ex-Bundeswehr anti-aircraft tripod for the MG3. I put a picatinny adapter on it, so I can use it with any gun with a picatinny rail.

Interesting lol, That has got to be a bear to carry around with you.

 

[m4a1sof]

LOL, I don't carry it around, I just use it in my sunroom or out in my yard (I live way out in the woods, no neighbors :smile, or in my home office to static display my gun of the week. It was relatively cheap, I think I only paid like 150 bucks for it a couple of years ago. The supply is drying up though, I think there more than that now if you can find one.

Got the Larue for $97.00 with shipping , read that Larue was pretty good , just learning about ar brands . Thanks

 

[maxfold]

[maxfold]

I have a S&W M&P AR15. It has a 1:8 twist 5.56 barrel @ 16'. It shoots 2 inch groups using 5.56 green tip ammo. I would like to get a .223 / 5.56 wylde barrel, 1:7 or 1:8, XX length!?

I'm old and love to just bench rest shoot for markmanship / accuracy.

Sawman....do you have a barrel like that available or where can I get one. I'm interested in all opinions out there!
