So I just ordered a Mega Lower and Upper with M4 feed ramps, and a RRA lower parts kit with a 2 stage trigger. Also im going to get a Magpul stock.
Im trying to build an M4 style AR. All of this is kind of overwhelming, so what do i need next? What components will i need to finish the upper? Do I litterally need one of everything? http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=281 Thanks for the help guys Also if anyone has any advice Im trying to figure out what barel (16") and quad rail setup to go with... (and whatever else accompanies that) |

Quoted:
Why get a 2 stage trigger with a 16" barrel  To be honest with you it was recommended to me as being "worth the extra money." I havent purchased the lpk and trigger yet (its still in my cart). Whats the reasoning behind getting one or not? Also Im not dead set on the 16" yet, it just appears to be the standard and figured that is what i would go with for my first ar. |

Well,
The M-4 with 16 inch barrel is meant for CQB and close range stuff. Although mine drives tacks at 100 yards, they are not really meant for long range comeptition shooting. I suppose you could use one. But, if I was using it for long range accuracy, I would get like a 22 inch barrel and a magpul sniper stock and some really big scope. As for my M4, everything I put on it is designed for 100 yards or less. Red dot sight, green laser, short barrel and stock to be highly manuverable and won't be restricted in tight spaces. Now if (and I will be soon) I were building a varminter or long ranger, I would use long barrel, full stock, long scope, match grade trigger....etc. Hope that helps. Mutt |
