Nitro's first build
#1
NugginFutz Wrote:Welcome to the Horde, Nitro.

This being your first build, allow me, if I may, to suggest that you take your time and select the appropriate components with care. You do, after all, wish this to be a rifle you can enjoy for a long time. Without getting into specifics, just let me say that there are two adages that seem to echo from most builders: "By cheap, buy twice", and its corollary; "Buy once, cry once.". These apply literally to all aspects of the build.

From the looks of your upper, a heavy slick side, you should be gtg for any barrel profile you wish, although this upper is likely best suited for a heavier barrel configuration.

Once you post a little more info (intended use, budget, etc.) I am certain the Horde will make itself available for any advice you seek.

Again, Welcome!

My goal is a good target shooter. Not hunting.

This is what I ordered so far. I expect the comments good and bad. My mistake was not joining this forum first I imagine?
This is what I have so far:

ALG DEFENSE ACT (ADVANCED TRIGGER GROUP) 6.5 lbs NICKEL BORON GEISSELE TUNED

Samson Evolution Forearm Black 2x 2" Rail Kit .223 Rem 15" EVOLUTION-15

Mako FAB Defense GL-MAG Black Rifle Stock Built-in 10 Round Mag Carrier

Lower Receiver Parts Kit/6-position Stock Kit (MAGPUL, MADE IN USA)

Made In The USA Rifle Length Gas Tube Stainless Steel+ Mini Gas block w/Roll Pin

The lower I was planning to go with a local machinist that offers the jig and lower together?
