Okay guys I'm headed on PD hunt this year and wanting to build an AR for the hunt. Two reasons, cheap reloadable ammo, and everybody needs an AR( so good excuse to build one.)
Here's kind of what I'm planing on doing, let me know what you think. My main concern is acurracy. The only think that is a must is a adjustable LOP stock so my young son cant use it for deer and hogs also.
Barrel: WOA 18" 1-8TW meduim contour or MicroMOA 18" 1-7TW SDM countour.( should I go 20") Also on the 18" should I go rifle or mid-length gas?
Stripped upper: Whatever I can find for sale, probley Aero or PSA
Stripped Lower: Whatever I can find for sale, probley Aero or PSA
Trigger: BTE trigger group
Handguard: BTE FF handguard
BCG: A nickel Boron group of some type
Lower parts kit: Whatever I can find cheaper
I plan on shooting something in the 60-70gr range for pd's just to help buck the win alittle. But I wanna be able to shoot the 80's for deer. Like I said my main concern is accuracy but don't wanna 24" light pole hang off the end of it. So I'm thinking barrel and a good trigger is where my money needs to be spent, the rest can be cheap parts. Am I wrong in my thinking. I build all my own bolt guns, so I was thinking about maybe getting a kreiger or bartlein blank and turning it to a AR barrel. Is it worth the trouble for the money I would save? Thanks
