Why not?
If you're not going to need a front post, you can add a low profile gas block, too. You're building a new upper, right? Not changing the parts on your current one? |

sticking with the same upper at the moment, but have tossed around the idea of building a complete new upper.
I haven't done much with my AR's other than putting new rails, grips, or sites on, and shooting them. Want to learn a little more about them and eventually build one from scratch. Would i be better of using the same lower, and just building a dedicated upper, and just swap them out when i want fun range time, or going out hunting? I'm not in a huge rush at the moment since i currently have a .243 bolt action that i'm planning on getting a pred light attachment for, but long term would prefer using the AR for easier follow up shots, or possibly a can down the road |

I've only put around 200 rounds down the pipe, all irons. Basic site in shots out to around 50 yards. wanted to go longer but i was at a public outdoor range, and wasn't trusting the people shooting beside me. haven't had a chance to get it out since. once changed i would like to have a 200 yard zero. That's how i shoot my deer rifles (.300 mag, 30-06, and .243) Quote HistoryQuoted:

Salad days. Just get another rifle. Or least another complete upper.

hoping to keep the shots sub 300 yards. I live in Michigan so not many super long distance shots (300+) will be available Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: Gotcha what distances are you planning on coyote hunting at? I prefer a free floated rail, scope and trigger that will make it easier to be accurate. If not. Like other have said PSA and Aero makes a good 20” upper for a descent price. Hope that helps. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Unless you just want a 20” setup your 16” barrel will do just fine at those distances. It should be plenty accurate and enough velocity to kill a coyote.

honestly all of the info you guys have given me has helped and has opened up my eyes a little more. I'm slowly learning more and more about this platform. I have never ordered a complete upper off the net before. Will i need to have an assembled upper shipped to my FFL guy, or something i could have shipped directly to my house? Quote HistoryQuoted:

A complete upper or a complete parts kit can go to your door. You can buy a lower inking bit it has to be sent to your LGS or FFL that accepts transfers.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It will be shipped complete to your front door. No need for a FFL. The only part on an AR that would need to go to a FFL is the lower receiver. (Just the receiver it’s self not all the other parts. It’s the only serialize part). one last question.. what 5 round mag do you guys use? |
