Alright, to start off I want to build some more AR's to give myself a diverse collection. Preferably a lighter weight general purpose carbine and also a rig geared more towards precision, RECCE or SPR style. So here is where I'm at.
Currently my only AR is a SOPMOD Block II Clone. Minus the BUIS and the Muzzle Device it is spot on. Only problem I have is the weight. The gun isn't insanely heavy, however, it is not exactly somethin I'd want to run a carbine class with or run around the woods with. So I'm at a crossroads. Do I just keep the Block II as is, which honestly doesn't fit into either style of rifle that I would like, and just build two more? Or my thought is to swap out the barrel and optic on my Block II for something of the Stainless Variety, 16-18", with a variable optic. This would put that rifle into the category of precision oriented, leaving me to only build a lighter weight general purpose carbine. Then comes some other questions I have. I've been looking at barrels all along the price spectrum and I'm kinda stuck. I know there was a thread on this before, however, I've pretty much narrowed it down to a Noveske SS Barrel, Rainier Ultramatch, or Rainier Match. My question is basically, what type of performance differences will I see out of the three. Would I really notice the nearly double the price difference between the Rainier Match and Noveske? Should I just split it down the middle, go for the Ultramatch and call it a day? Also, I have a TA31F sittin around right now. Should I just throw that on there for the magnified optic or would I be better served by a variable optic with a little more magnification (looking at some 1-6's)? This is probably more of a question for the optics section, and I think I've got the optic selection figured out, however, I figured I'd see if anybody knew something I didn't in this department. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys! |
