After reading a bunch of postings on ar15.com ... here's my initial thoughts on my first rifle to build. ~5.56mm cal. ~Lauer lower receiver and parts kit ~16" barrel, heavy profile in 1:7 or 1:8 twist, with a chromed bore and chamber (does anyone make something like this? I've a preference towards a stiffer barrel for accuracy) ~6 position collapsible stock ~Flat top for optics, but iron sights for now ~Standard handguard (maybe a rail system in the future?) I'd appreciate any feedback on this ... thanks in advance ... Kerry AKA [email protected] |

IMHO, any rifle / carbine that can have a free float handguard, should have a free float handguard. The inexpensive ones do get pretty hot on ARs, but I believe that the increase in accuracy makes up for it. There's just something wrong about placing force on the end of your barrel if you don't have to. |
