Everything looks good except the sling. I would pick another. I have a Troy and a Northeast tactical single point slings. The NE unit is better made and the cheesy shoulder pad on the Troy sling ain't that comfortable and will probably wear quickly.

I'd go with a Stag LPK instead of RRA. And depending on timeframe and budget you might think about a Denny's midlength "operator" barrel instead of the Sabre, once he gets more of them made (couple months probably) if you want to stay with chrome lined. Or go all out with a Noveske stainless barrel. Otherwise nice rifle you have planned there.

Don't forget to send it to me for unbiased testing and evaluation.

That is planned, but I forgot to include it. As for the Troy sling, I had a troy and really liked it so I'm going back with the same sling. I actually like the shoulder pad. The Sabre barrel was chosen over the Denny's and Noveske barrels because I wanted a bbl that is light under the handguards. I am only looking for good combat accuracy so a super high quality barrel that is capable of sub-MOA would be a waste. Why a MSTN Quiet-comp? I've never... ever wanted a brake on an AR-15. If I was building a 3-gun rig or something, then I would see the point. Thanks for the suggestions.

Does CMMG offer mid-length barrels? I can't access their website to check. If they do, I'd go with theirs. Very high quality barrels. My 16" M4 barrel can shoot about 1" with South African 5.56 believe it or not. I'd also put a Phantom 5c2 on there instead of the Vortex. The phantom doesn't reduce flash quite as much, but it's a closed design so it's less likely branches or other no good crap will get snagged in there. That's one high-dollar rig you're making there, should come out really nice regardless. MJD

What's wrong with Mil-Spec M855 or SS109? Q3131 or XM193 are the only other options (for good stuff) and I don't see where they are any better than M855. I've shot all of the above and couldn't tell a difference in any of it. |

Are Stag LPKs noticeably better than RRA? I've built with a few RRA LPKs and all the parts have been good quality. Is there something about them that I don't know? |

A lot. Before ammo, mags, and KG coating, it comes out to around $3100. I'm going to try to find as many items as I can in the USED section of the EE to try to cut a bit of cost here and there. The ACOG and Surefire drive up the cost substantially... but the best gear costs money. |

I was thinking of that heavy load that is quite in favor these days...that MK whatever it is......but I agree...for a cost effective amo, m193 is good.
