| I want to build an AR to shoot 100 yds to as far as it will go. I would like to be able to shoot 55- 77gr bullets (I got a pile of 55gr but will get some heavier bullets for serious distance shooting). I am thinking a 20" 1:7 CL flat top w/M4 ramps, FF rifle length quad rail , Harris pod and optics. I can't decide if I want an A2 stock or a CTR. Would the rifle length buffer tube and A2 stock be better than a carbine buffer with a CTR or would it matter? First build so sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks for any help |

I own a CTR, and personally I don't think it would give very good balance with a 20" barrel. If your only choices are a CTR or an A2, then I would go with the A2. However, if you have the $$$, then I would go with the magpul PRS that the above poster mentioned. It would give some adjustability,but still mantain the weight and solidness that would be optimum for a precision build.
Good luck! Edit: if you want to maximize accuaracy, I'd look into getting a stainless steel barrel instead of a chrome lined. |
Thanks guys, this is just the kind of input I'm looking for. I want this rifle to be a real shooter so I will forget the CTR and maybe bite the bullet and start thinking PRS. At the least I will go with the A2 stock. As far as the SS verses CL for accuracy verses barrel life school me please.
