Hello all,
I am biting the bullet and getting an AR build in before I finish up my blind mag bolt action build.
As usual I cannot decide on the heart of the build...the barrel. This rifle will be for fun and for hunting. It will not be a shoot all day from a bench gun so I would like it fairly light. I already have a carbon fiber handguard on the way. For now I will be using a BCA side charging upper that I have laying around. Obviously I will need to switch out the bolt so thats part of this as well.
I have narrowed my search down to:
- Brownells Satern 18 barrel and bolt
- Alexander Arms 18 lite barrel with a moster GB bolt
- Monster GB 18 barrel (Green Mountain) and bolt.
Thoughts? I am open to other suggestions but would like to come in under $300 for the barrel and bolt combined.
Hoping that the horde can give me some advice!
