16" Upper Assembly /Flash Hider/CQB Scope Suggestions

[jatienza]

I am about to launch into an AR-15 build. My starting point is as follows:

- Magpul UBR stock (black)
- Tacitcal Innovations lower billet

Any suggestions on the best 16" barrel upper assembly?

Flash Hider?

Thanks for your help.

I've always been partial to A2 flash hiders on 16" barrels. AAC Blackouts and Smith Vortexes out-perform the A2. Depends on your needs. All I see here is a partial parts list with no mention of intent or needs. Mission drives the gear train.

I am building a Larue Tactical Stealth Sniper Rifle with 18" barrel that does have a specific mission. I want to build a custom built AR-15 (16"' barrel) to compliment my SPR rifle.

The rifle has no mission, but to be one bad ass AR-15 with an attitude. I will shoot it mostly inside 100 yards. I may want to shoot 3-gun (only one optic) or tactical carbine competition (2 optics allowed) with it also. It needs to be light-weight so I can shoot it off hand and on the move (No un-needed parts or accessories). I can change the stock to a Magpul CTR stock to reduce weight if I need to in the end.

I have a BCM 16" Midlength with a PWS FSC556 on the end. I love this combo.

Copy that... I will check it out.

FYI... I transformed my previous AR-15 into a .50 Beowulf wrecking ball. Therefore, I need to build a new AR-15 with a 16" barrel.

I like the Primary Weapon Systems FSC 556 muzzle brake/flash hider. Good mix of both. I like the Trijicon TR24, Aimpoint T1, TA33 ACOG amoung others.

For your optics, I would check out either the Aimpoint T-1 or the Trijicon TR24 1-4x.

Unless you can afford a Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1.1-4x that is.

"For your optics, I would check out either the Aimpoint T-1 "

I am putting an Aimpoint Micro T-1 with Larue Tactical angle mount on my Larue Tatical Stealth sniper rifle.
