Re: another ar build

do you pole vault with that barrel?

Re: another ar build

im 6'4" so a 20" barrel fits me perfect

 

[LS6TT]

Re: another ar build

length of barrel matters for height? length of stock I agree..but barrel length?

regardless build looks good so far, dont skimp on the BCG

Re: another ar build

My Choices:
<span style="font-weight: bold">BUIS</span>- Troy BUIS. I have 2 sets and would not buy any other.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Bolt Carrier</span>- Bravo Company USA BCG

<span style="font-weight: bold">Front Grip</span>- For Vertical I would go with Advanced Armament or the new Magpul AFG grip.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Trigger</span> - I have a Timney, RR, Geisselle SSA triggers on my builds. The Geisselle is by far the best but I have the Timney (1-stage) on my Carbine build, I wouldnt use it on a precision bench type AR (2-stages work better, for me at least)

<span style="font-weight: bold">Sling</span> - Your Preference.

Re: another ar build

Looks great!

I also like 20" barrels, even though I'm ten inches shorter than you.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the choice of a carbine buttstock for a rifle length upper. You could put a Vltor A2 on a carbine tube or a Magpul PRS on an A2 tube and still retain adjustability, while having a much stiffer stock.

 

[Whootsinator]

Re: another ar build

Or even a Magpul UBR.

Re: another ar build

that but stock is being changed... let me rephrase that the lower is being changed and it will have a better but stock that lower is off of another project gun i started so so you are seeing 2 different guns that i put together.

im working on the other lower in the list of things i need i have a timiny trigger that's because in the new lower i will have the timiny trigger does that make any sense? I'm building a seekins lower for this gun...

 

[Stringer]

Re: another ar build

No, using a Timney trigger on an AR doesn't make any sense when triggers like Gisselle exist.

Good luck.

Re: another ar build
