rate my planned set up
RRA stripped lower stag LPK la rue mil-spec receiver extension kit magpul ACS magpul PMAGs BCM(?) stripped upper link stag UPK stag charging handle LMT BCG troy BUIS daniel defense barrel assembly la rue picatinny hand guard all for about 1500 |
|
Nice, mostly tier1, but god tier would be MRP or SR-15. Sorry.
I'd add a barrel, and switch the stag CH for a GunFighter mod3 from BCM. |
|
Nice stuff but not at the altitude you claim to be shooting towards.
|
|
For $1500 I'd probably just try to find a used KAC SR15 or Colt if you want a tier 1 rifle.

|
i've been told the lowers are all pretty much the same from reputable manufacturers so i'm fine with the RRA and stag LPK.

.... so i'm fine with the RRA and stag LPK. Yes. You will be. |

Youll be fine with a RRA lower and a stag LPK.
But its not god tier. god tier would be mega/noveske (just in my opinion from finish) lower Spikes enhanced LPK take your pic tier 1 buffer tubes VLTOR iMod stock (as opposed to the ACS) LMT MRP upper Gun fighter charging handle Spikes NiB BCG Troy or larue BUIS Not too mention I belive that RRA tends to machine their lowers to fit up perfectly with their uppers... and not very interchangeable with others. If you want a perfect match then put an LMT lower on my list :P more than 1500, but that is god tier. |
|
For $1500 why not just buy a complete Daniel Defense or BCM? It's not like your really saving anything here after shipping and having to wrench it together yourself. Doesn't make much sense.

Doesn't make much sense. i agree with not having to wrench much, but i would go LaRue upper and lower, spikes lpk, and keep the magpul stuff. It will cost you an extra $200 or so, but you will be able to attain the goal you are after. |

"GOD-tier" ??
Thats lightning bolts from the finger-tips kinda stuff.....(and thats just his concealed carry) |
|
You want to buy a bunch of third rate parts and put them together in your kitchen and come up with a great rifle?
Let me give you a hot tip. Get a 6720 and then go to Ken Elmore at Specialized Armament Warehouse for an Operator Package. Have him furnish and install your accessories. That way you will have Colt parts put together by someone that really, truly cares. |
|
Noveske and Larue would fall into that category for me (I think I know what you mean anyway). Certainly a fancy milled receiver would be needed in this case. Maybe add a stainless steel lower parts kit and a fancy drop in trigger?
Oh yeah, $1500.00 is a long ways from the tier you are shooting for. As said before you can easily sink $4500.00 into an AR, especially if you add optics, lights, a PVS14, a PEQ2A, and of course QD mounts for everything... |

|
God-tier? Hardly. They're only freakin' 5.56 rifles! I'd put up a 40yr old Colt M16A1 upper on any lower and do as good as your God-tier frankengewer.
|
|
OP,
How well do you shoot, that you can use this "god-tier" rifle to its fullest extent? I'd go with Combat_Jack's suggestion above, and use the extra $ for classes. If you already shoot like a god, well then, you're all set |
|
I'll be the douche bag that says it:
If you want a God-tier rifle just buy a Scar Heavy with a grenade launcher. . . . what did he say???. . . |
|
i dotn see anything special abotu your list of parts. it seems like just a standard avg build.

Inconel pins throughout, Norgon mag catch, Gieselle SSA, Colt for the remainder of the small parts, Mega lower and monolithic upper, Ion-Bonded Kreiger barrel, JP BCG, MagPul UBR or PRS, Slash buffer, MagPul MIAD, S&B scope, Bobro mounts. That is about as close to god tier as you can get, and it will cost you a lot more than $1,500. |

I don't buy into the tacticool stuff and certainly don't believe parts are better if they have "Noveske" or "Colt" on them. I still want the flattop because it's more versatile and optics are actually useful. I decided against the railed handguard. i'm fine with the RRA lower, stag parts, ACS, DD barrel and LMT BCG, right?
|
|
I don't believe anyone replying to your original post thinks you won't be absolutely fine with the parts you have proposed. Rather most just don't see this to be the tier you have suggested. I'll bet you'll be completely happy with it.

thanks. i wasn't aware there were $4000+ builds out there (to play range ninja with?) I was going by "the chart" of all the desirable qualities (F FSB, correctly staked gas key, m4 feedramps, etc.) which I thought would have been "god-tier".

RRA lowers are purposely cut tight in certain spots, to keep upper/lower fit tighter than it needs to be. As a result, some uppers won't fit on RRA lowers. And Colt isn't just a brand––its fifty years experience making AR15 rifles that work. |

What about NiB coated BCGs? or Ion-bond? no where on that silly chart does it talk about them? They are options that take a normal build... to a higher tier. and like everyone else has said, you have a solid build there, but its no where near god-tier. |

You can believ all you want. There is a reason why the parts that come from certain companies ARE better. It has nothing to do with the name, it has everything to so with the standards associated with those names. |

Oh I read the specific purpose of it. Thus Im telling this guy that its a narrow view and he shouldnt be basing his build solely on the chart. |

It's a comparison of M4gery's. AND the Spikes M4 LE isn't on there so the "Chart" is not real credible. |

Maybe credible wasn't the best choice although it works in this case because of why Spikes isn't on there. Not accurate would be more fitting. |

the real man's ar15 Colt 6920
|
|
that would be a nice build but shop around and you can do that for $1300 or less. check the EE there are all kind of deals and you could build a "god tier" for 1500
|
|
I would just use olympic arms parts to make a god tier rifle. Easy guys whoa whoa....................................................ouch.
|
|
So where's the pics of this said "God-Tier" weapon? WHAT NOT BUILT YET?
|
|
I hate the whole "tier" thing.
Want to drop cash into a "Frankengun" and have the best parts money will buy? Lower receiver: KAC ambi lower with their LPK installed or one of Magpul's ambi lowers. Stock: Magpul UBR Buffer: Match to your barrel length, gas port diameter, and gas port position. Upper receiver: Ideally KAC(though you should probably just go with a complete SR-15E3 if you go KAC) but a Noveske Afghan or Colt 6921 bbl in a Voltor VIS or other Monolithic Upper is good, or a LaRue Stealth. BCG: Standard (non coated) BCM BCG. Brake: KAC Triple Tap BUIS: Troy Optic: S&B, Nightforce, Swavorski 1-4x (or similar) or for RDS Aimpoint Micro T-1 or if you really want to drop some cash, and Elcan Spectre. Light: Surefire Scout or Mini Scout VFG: Magpul AFG or LaRue FUG Pistol Grip: Magpul MIAD Other: Magpul BAD (if the ambi bolt catch on the lowers isn't easy manipulate with your strong hand), M4-2000 or Surefire Micro can, Blue-Force Redi-Mod. But there is no way in hell you can put that together for $1500. I have dropped more than that in my normal build: 6921bbl, Essential Arms Lower, BCM upper, Magpul parts, Troy sights, and no optic (yet) |
