Hi There,
I'm new to AR-15 style rifles. I recently bought a 16" AR-15 style rifle built by a local gunsmith. This is my first AR style rifle. It has a Bushmaster lower receiver, but the upper is from a company called Wilson (I think it's Wilson Arms and NOT Wilson Combat).
Can the experts on this board provide me some feedback on the quality of the Wilson Arms receiver and barrel? The upper receiver and barrel that I have look like they are very well made. Is there any appreciable difference between the Wilson Arms parts and the Bushmaster parts? Are Wilson Arms parts reliable?
Also, the barrel is not chrome lined. I am thinking of buying a Bushmaster chrome lined barrel for this gun (so I won't have to worry as much about corrosion). Can I just "drop-in" a new 16" Bushmaster barrel, or does it need to be fitted by a qualified gunsmith?
Thanks-in-advance.
