I'll post pictures of the build when its done, but that will be a while. Probably by mid summer, trying to spread out the cost. Also need to get another can on order.
Awesome, thanks @RockAndSage, do you see any issues doing an Aero upper, lower, handguard on this build or are there better options for receivers. I'd prefer those three components match/from same manufacturer.
@RockAndSage those Vseven rifles look awesome but a little out of price range, budget is around 3k including optic, can probably build one around 6lb a little cheaper + optic weight.
@chicoredneck @mother_plucker for mags is was planning on getting a couple duramags...
Perfect thanks, only other question I can think of is headspacing, should I buy a go/nogo gauge to confirm headspace on the upper/bolt and barrel chamber, or are design tolerances & part compatibility not as much of an issue nowadays. Thanks @StupidLightweight
Between family we've shot around 50+ deer with 243 Remington core lokt 100gr and the animals run on overage 40-150 yards depending on shot placement (lung vs heart). Most shots 100-250 yards. Even gut shot deer we've been able to track and put them down after they run a couple hundred yards and...
Suppressed all day and 20" barrel. I'd imagine some airlines/Airports might work better than others as long as your not going through IL or CA on connecting flights. Horror stories could also be due to noncompliance in protocol.
I've built a couple AR's in the past, what components need to be 6mm ARC specific? Barrel, BCG and mag?
Building one seems to be the best option instead of spending 3k on a complete rifle that won't fully match what I'm looking for. Thanks @StupidLightweight
Looking for a 6mm ARC AR15 per the specs below. Mainly to be used for deer/hog/coyote, 1-300 yd shots, and long range plinking out to 600 yds.
16-18" Barrel
Shoot sub MOA @100yds
Sub 7LB weight empty no optic
Adjustable Gas Block for shooting suppressed
Anything out there direct from a...
