I've build several AR15's but finally decided to build a 6.5 Creedmoor AR10...I have a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt gun but really wanted to give a gas gun a go in this caliber. While I am trying to keep it on the lighter side I don't want to sacrifice accuracy for weight as I know I will be comparing it to my bolt action w/ hand loads and don't want to be disappointed but yet remain realistic (<.5 MOA if I do my job w/ load development and behind the rifle). Here is what I have either purchased and/or have on order:
1) Receiver set - Mega Maten
2) Barrel - Craddock Bartlien 22" +2" 1:7.5T .875" spiral fluted...estimated to save ~16oz weight (they will also install a Superlative Arms Adj Gas Block)
3) Bolt - Craddock matched
4) Handguard - SLR 15" Helix M-LOK
To Go:
5) Buffer - JP SCS (planning to order the Heavy H2 builders kit but out of stock so if standard is a better option I can still change this plan)
6) Trigger - Trigger Tech Diamond
7) Stock - Magpul PRS
8) Misc Components - V Seven Titanium where available
So hopefully this provides enough detail to give me your thoughts on a JP BGG. Would you go with a VMOS and if so standard or heavy or would you recommend a JP FMOS? I should add I will likely run this with my DeadAir Sandman L on a Area 419 brake so I can easily go back and forth on my SCAR 17 but I also have a Trash Panda in jail that I may use as well.
Thanks for any thoughts on the BCG or if you see something I'm missing please let me know!
