$1300 budget 16” bcm gov profile build - accuracy enough for deer hunting. Credo 3-9x40. 10.5” Noveske with aimpoint. Complete lower with upper and BCG laying around. No nods. No cans. Plates, etc taken care of. Centurion / criterion barrel replace the bcm and add a can? (Polo k). Leave it alone for now? Single income, homeschool 4 kids, budgeting won’t realistically go up much in the next year lol. |

Im not sure i understand the question. But if you’re on a budget, keep what you have in good condition and use play funds for training & ammo. More gear isnt going to help and $1300 isnt going to go far for a whole new setup. Edit: read it a third time. Only answer is sell everything for a kac

RE: OP I'm also not too sure on what the ask is here. What's your use case: home defense, SPR, hunting, etc.? If SPR you could do just do a barrel swap with a quality SS barrel with an SPR type profile, if home defense you'd be good to go with the 16" BCM govt profile. If doing a barrel swap here's my list of solid button/CHF riffled barrels: Rosco K9 16" Intermediate 5.56 Nitrided 416R Continuous Taper Barrel ($225) Rosco Purebred 18" 223 Wylde 416R SPR Barrel ($235) Classified Defense 16" 223 Wylde 4150 RAT Profile 1:7 Nitrided (includes barrel, headspaced bolt, gas block, and gas tube) ($450) Griffin Armament 16" 223 Wylde 1:8 Mid length Nitrided 416R barrel ($290) SOLGW 16" 223 Wylde 416R Nitrided Mid-length 1:7 SRP Barrel (3 groove polygonal) ($280) Blackhole Weaponry Custom 16" 223 Wylde 1:8 416R nitrided (3 groove polygonal) ($380) White Oak 16" 223 Wylde 416R Mid-length 1:7 SPR Barrel ($325) Criterion HBAR 16" 223 Wylde Mid-length 1:8 416R Barrel ($330) Criterion Hybrid 16" 223 Wylde Mid-Length 1:8 416R Nitride Barrel ($330) Criterion HBAR 16" 223 Wylde Mid-length 1:8 4150 Chrome Lined Barrel ($330) (+$90 for headspaced BCM bolt) Criterion Core (light profile) 16" 223 Wylde Mid-length 1:8 4150 Chrome Lined Barrel ($330) (+ $90 for headspaced BCM bolt) X-Caliber Custom AR Barrel 16" 223 Wylde Mid-length 1:8 416R ($380) Craddock RTR 16" 223 Wylde 416R mid 1:7 (MK12 Mod H) ($350) PVA Osprey 16" 223 Wylde 416R Intermediate 1:8 SPR Profile ($400) Noveske 16" 5.56 416R 1:7 Mid-length Barrel with pinned gas block & gas tube ($440) (+ $90 for headspaced DLC Noveske bolt) JP Supermatch Light profile 16" 223 Wylde 1:8 Cryo Treated 416R ($495) (includes headspaced DLC bolt) Geissele 16" 5.56 CHF Factory Take Off Barrel ($200) Geissele Heavy CHF Chrome Lined 5.56 1:7 16" ($290) |
