Basically just need a quick list of the parts I need to complete an upper.
Going with a 16' mid length barrel. Going to use the A2 style front post gas block Handguard will be one of those Magpul plastic ones. My question is what parts no i need in order to finish the upper? What kind of barrel nut? I read something about delta rings? Any info would be appreciated |

I read something about delta rings? Any info would be appreciated Be sure to get a gas block/front sight assembly that doesn't require tapered pins to fix it to the barrel. Clamp on or set screw types are better for the home builder. You will need a muzzle device and crush washer, or at least a thread protector. I prefer flash hiders like the GI 3-prong variety. You will need a ejection port cover and a forward assist. Personally, I dispense with the latter and simply install a little delrin plug from Brownells, held with a roll pin. Strike Industries makes the port cover I like. Buy a name-brand bolt carrier assembly (e.g., DPMS) and a charge handle. I like Gunfighter model charge handles from Bravo Company. You will need roll pin punches (available from Brownells) for the pin that fixes the gas tube to the gas block and the pin that fixes the forward assist/delrin plug. Putting all these parts together seem complicated, but its not. Much easier than a lower. Just follow the instructions posted at the top of this sub-forum. good luck - CW |
