I'm getting ready to build a new AR and I need your help. I already have an M4, so i'm looking for something to be more of a long range rifle. Here's what I know I want: PRI Gas Block FF Rail System (Troy or DD) Flat Top Upper Receiver Vortex FH What length/type of barrel would you guys recommend? 16", 18", 20"?? What gas system? Can anyone also point me to ar15.com vendors who do custom uppers? Thanks, Mark |

What do you define as 'Long Range'? What is the purpose for shooting at this range (hitting paper or blasting small rodents? ) As for custom builders there are some good ones here for a precision upper go with a precision barrel, like the ones offered by Randall at www.AR15barrels.com. Randall can build a custom barrel to your specifications. Wes at MSTN.biz also has some match quality barrels on hand and builds nice uppers. |
| At that distance you could hypothetically use a 16" barrel but you should probably opt for the 18" or 20" as the bullets velocity will drop considerably after 500 yards out of a 16" barrel. There are plenty of good barrels out there though so check out the EE and take a look at some of the vendors and their stock. |
