First of all I would like to introduce myself a bit. I've been lurking for some time now, and I have come down with a bad case of the black rifle disease.
h That said, I have a few questions about the build itself. I'm looking at bulding a M4 carbine style weapon, but I'm undecided about barrel length. I am debating between a 14.5" or a 16" barrel. I want the rifle to be accurate a reasonable range, but this is no 600 yard gun. Can I get some opinions on the matter?
Could I get some input on my shopping list for the gun? So far I'm looking at a Bushmaster A3 upper as well as the Bushmaster lower. Like said, barrel assembly is still undecided, but I was thinking bushmaster for that as well. Might I want something with a little faster twist, or is 1:9 enough? Stock will most likely be a fiberlight telescoping unit, and once the rifle is built I would like to equip it with a EoTech 552 sight. So how does this build sound, any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help, I think I'm here to stay!
