I am looking to add some AR's to my collection and want to build them from kits. I picked up 2 LRB stripped lowers locally and want some advice on which kit's to get. I do want vg accuracy but don't need NM accuracy. Is there a major difference in accuracy in 16" vs 20" vs 24" barrels. What are the better barrel makers? I have been looking at a number of online retailers offering various kits including M&A Parts, Model 1 Sales, Rock River (only 2 16" kits offered), J&T and others. I plan on using Barnaul and Silver Bear (no wolf) and some better ammo when I am ready for serious paper punching. The range I use here on LI is 100 yds (any sights) and 200 yds (scoped only) and would like the option mounting a scope or using iron sights. Any big difference between ER Shaw and other barrels offered, some no named and others such as Bushmaster etc. Again, I am looking for VG accuracy to use during informal paper punching at 100 yds off a bench. If you can recommend any kits that meet my needs it is appreciated. There are so many choices that it starts to numb the mind when looking for the right kit. Cost is also a consideration. I am in NY and need a post ban kit which some of the kit suppliers do not offer. Thanks, Ken |

well, first off: paragraphs are a good thing. 16", 18", 20" are not going to differ in accuracy at 100 yards. They will however differ in velocity and weight. Better barrels? Ones that are button pressed or have hexagonal rifling (larue) And you never used a standard measure of accuracy, just relative terms. Are you looking for sub MOA stuff or is 1 MOA ok for your use... |
