So to build a very accurate "match" AR, are there building tricks, or is it simply a matter of getting a "better parts?" In other words, built with the same parts, what can you do make your AR shoot better. I know ammo is a factor. I already buy 77gr Black Hills Moly by the case.

| Thanks for the info. I'm somewhat familiar with the parts involved, but I was specifically inquiring into any sort of labor or tricks that would make 2 guns made from the same parts perform differently. In other words, if I stuck the same barrel, fore-end, trigger, etc on 2 different guns, would the way I did it make a difference? |
Blackhills match, then. Go with a "under the handguards" free float tube, a good trigger assembly and 1/2 MOA sights. Stay away from chrome bores but do get the 1:7 or 1:8 twist and a Wylde chamber. Glue the flash suppressor on just finger tight with a small drop of blue Lok-tite. On assembly, make sure you do not torque the barrel to the receiver to preserve windage range. The AR is very similar to Savage 110 in this respect. I have a barrel vise and an action block to lock the alignment while torquing the barrel nut to the final spec. |

Ok, so I guess there's no way to make one AR outperform another AR with identical parts? Please people, I know all about match triggers, freefloated barrels, and other doodads and gizmos. I'm asking about assembly methods, tricks, etc. Most of the answers here indicate that a shade tree mechanic can build an upper with the same accuracy as Wes/Denny/Adco/etc, as long as he's using the same parts. |

Try and get ahold of a feller, Mike Bycowski (sp?) of High Performance International. You can square up the bolt to the barrel, the bolt to the carrier and the carrier to the upper. This makes everything staight and true. That in addition to all the stuff listed above is the best you can do. |
