im going to start to order some parts, i want a reliable shooter, something i can take to a rifle class in the future, and a shtf gun. i have a carbine 16" with drop in guards currently but my fever came back to build a new setup.
barrel length i want 16" so i dont have to deal with the bullshit if i need to replace parts.
slr ion lite 15 or the 13.7 length, not sure on length of rail
surefire muzzle brake or their flash hider for future use of a suppressor. (i dont have one yet but i will be owning on down the road) i under stand adjustable gas blocks, and gas port sizes and from what i understand i can run the bcm middy with non adjustable block fine due to the gas port size.
for the barrel, i was aiming towards the proven track record of the BCM middy hammer forged enhanced light weight, with their gas block to match, reliable, can take a beating.
for the upper i was going to get a bcm upper later when it comes in stock, so my components sit true with eachother.
for the bolt i have a new stag bcg i can use for now. but i will be getting either a bcm or another brand for this build once it gets running.
i just want a reliable gun that shoots decent. im not shooting tight groups on sandbags, but id like to hit where i aim effectively. i will be putting a red dot on it.
for my lower, since im in the ban state, i have a preban PWA lower with a stag LPK in it. but id like to get a larue trigger as well, but after the upper is built.
any suggestions or input would be nice, personal opinions, etc. just looking for some guidance if im on the right track here. what would you guys do different?
thanks guys
