First Post, hello from NE Texas

Hey yall, new member.

I have the same username on several forums, maybe I'll recognize some of ya.

I have started an AR15 build 🫢 I wanted an accurate, light-midweight 20" 223/5.56.

So far I have the barrel, gas block and tube, upper and BCG.

Barrel is a 20" 1:8 Wylde chambered fluted Criterion: https://criterionbarrels.com/produc...d/ar-15-fluted-contour-barrel/?v=7516fd43adaa

I also chose the options for the Badger ordnance gas block, BCM gas tube, and headspaced BCM BCG.

Upper is a A4 style complete, White Oak Armament upper: https://www.whiteoakarmament.com/a4-upper-receiver-with-m4-ramps-complete.html

I have a spare PSA Stealth complete lower, that just needs a good Larue MBT2S.

I hope I'm on the right track.

I have a M16A1 surplus kit that I put together with a Brownells retro lower and a Criterion 1:8(or 7?) barrel (purchased through Fulton Armory) that shoots great, but never done real accuracy testing. Here's a pic of it with a pecan stealing crow taken at about 110 yards. (Had a no name lower at this time).
