I have a Bushmaster lower and v-match upper.  I want to build a DCM AR.  I need the following:  Trigger  Barrel  Sights and free float handguard.    My question is who makes the best following parts.  What do you suggest?  Opinions please.  Everyone seems to be talking tactical M4's here,  I already got one.  Are there any good MATCH GRADE rifle topics?

Float Tube: WOA

Trigger: Geissele if you have the cash, otherwise WOA tuned RRA 2-stage

Barrel: WOA with FSB if you're on a budget, Krieger if you're not.  Either will shoot cleans.

Sights: You're somewhat limited with the flattop upper.  Check out the RRA NM detachable carry handle.  I don't have one so I can't vouch for it.  I do have a carry handle that John H. at WOA pinned for me a couple years ago, but it's my understanding that he no longer does this due to the hit-or-miss quality of some of the handles.  I'd recommend an .062 front post and an .042 or .046 rear aperture.  If you're young ( less than 30 ) with good eyes you might get away with an .055 front and .036 or .040 rear.

Bottom line -- talk to John Holliger at WOA.  He builds what he shoots and he has quite a list of accomplishments in the sport.  I haven't dealt with Frank White at CLE but he also has a good reputation.

WOA (www.whiteoakarmament.com) is an excellent source with reasonable prices.  There is also Northern Competition.  

A good source for HP information is:  www.nationalmatch.us

I just ran across Sinclair International.  They have some triggers and just about every bench rest accessory you could want.

Has anyone had any luck with DCM Barrel from Bushmaster.  They put it on free.

Had one on my CMP logo-ed Bushmaster DCM once upon a time ago.  They shoot fine, but it wouldn't be my first choice -- especially given the fact that Busmaster glues the FSB on rather than using an opposed screw setup like the WOA ( which costs $40 less than the comparable BM package with FSB and bolt ).  No screws mean no way to mechanically zero the windage on the sights.  Not a big deal if BM lines the FSB up properly, but then again if they don't...
