    5R Cut Rifled vs SS Match Barrels

    Re: 5R Cut Rifled vs SS Match Barrels Alright, kept reading these as they came in and you all bent my will (that and had some extra money from overtime). Called Seekins today and upgraded the barrel to the 5R cut rifled version. Looking forward to the finished product.

    5R Cut Rifled vs SS Match Barrels

    Re: 5R Cut Rifled vs SS Match Barrels For my purposes decided I couldn't justify the extra 200. If I want a cut rifled barrel i'll upgrade later, for now a good quality SS match barrel will suit me fine at the distances I get to shoot from

    5R Cut Rifled vs SS Match Barrels

    Advice on a build

    Re: Advice on a build I appreciate all of the help, I tried to incorporate the advice I've been given and cut down on some of the cost without sacrificing quality. I should have been clear in saying that while I want a high quality rifle I likely won't be shooting beyond 300 yards so it...

    Advice on a build

    Re: Advice on a build Thanks, that's the kind of advice I'm looking for. Being new to ARs I wasn't sure which parts were best to make a sacrifice on. In the case of the buffer would this be more appropriate perhaps? Low Mass Buffer Any other parts I'm making huge overkill on?

    Advice on a build

    Long time shooter but new to ARs. On the advice of others I've been looking around here and some other places to gather some knowledge on my own but would like to turn to the experts now. I'm looking to build a nice rifle as a project, as much for the experience as to have a nice rifle in the...
