MY FIRST AR-15 BUILD - ADVISES ARE WELCOME
Hello!
I'm building my first AR rifle ever!
I'm from West Plano, Texas (DFW area). HOWDY Y'ALL!
I have been reading like crazy to learn more about this wonderful rifle system.
Honestly, I was (Still) fan of bolt action rifles but I got crazy about the versatility and customization than can be done with these rifles so 2 months ago I decided to begin with this great endeavor to build my own AR rifle.
I am become so obsessed with the project that I even ordered t-shirts, hats, stickers, patch, etc with the name of the project..(Project name will be later release) ;)
The main purpose of the rifle will be bench target shooting and hunting.
So I want to create a more precise rifle, so precision is the main objective, weight also, and tactical use is not what I want for this project..
After months of reading, and reading, researching online, reading magazines, forums and seeing a lot of rifles in store and in the range, I began acquiring parts..
It's important to mention, that of course $$$ is an issue and I'm trying to get the best without over spending but at the same time I want to get the best quality parts possible. Also availability was and still an important issue for this project.
It's good to mentioned that I am a left hand shooter, left-eye dominant but I am a right hand shooter for handguns with left-eye dominant.
However, I'm overwhelmed for what BCG to use, nickel boron, what brand, FailZero, JP, Parallax, NP3, etc, etc. Also regarding the trigger group; 1 stage, 2 stage, etc.. to get so all your advise and knowledge is super welcome.
So far I got in hand already:
AERO PRECISION STRIPPED LOWER RECEIVER
AERO PRECISION STRIPPED UPPER RECEIVER
PRI CHARGING HANDLE GAS BUSTER WITH COMBAT LATCH
MAGPUL MOE RIFLE STOCK - BLACK
AMBI SAFETY BADASS SELECTOR
PSA - LOWER RECEIVER KIT
PSA - A2 STOCK BUFFERS KIT.
MAGPUL PISTOL MOE GRIP - BLACK
DPMS - FORWARD ASSIST KIT
JP ENTERPRISES - TRIGGER POWER SPRING KIT (To be used with the standard trigger kit from PSA for the beginning. I'm plant to get later a precise trigger group, like Wilson Combat, Gissele, etc)
UTG ACCURIZING WEDGE AR-15 (I bought it because is dam cheap in case It works for my build)
DPMS TACTICAL BOLT CATCH
MAGPUL CUSTOM LASER ENGRAVED TEXAS FLAG
I'm planning to get in the coming months:
MAGPUL SLING MOUNT SWIVEL KIT - TYPE 1
MAGPUL SLING MOUNT SWIVEL KIT - TYPE 2 (To make it ambi)
WILSON COMBAT 20" BARREL STAINLESS FLUTED - 223 WYLDE MATCH GRADE SUPER SNIPER, 1-8
TROY INDUSTRIES - AMBI MAGAZINE RELEASE
LANCER HAND-GUARD EXTRA LONG COOLING SLOTS 16.25" WITH 2" BOTTON RAIL FOR BI-POD
I still need to decide on this:
Need advise to decide on Bolt Carrier group. What brand, type, material, Steel type; why?
Trigger group for bench target shooting, hunting use... what to use, 1 stage, 2 stage, what brand; why?
Need info/help to engrave lower and upper with custom name, logo, etc.
Need help to have painted on red and white the fire/safety selector like H&K rifles.. :)
Need help to order a good quality custom engrave ejection port cover.
Scope, at least 14X under $500. Brand, model,?
ALL YOUR ADVISE ARE WELCOME, OF ANY KIND; ASSEMBLY, STEPS TO FOLLOW, WHAT TO TO USE, ETC..
I planning to have all parts before Christmas so this will be my own Santa's gift!
As a matter of fact, I will assembly this beauty myself (following Larry Potterfield videos) jejeje :) so all advises are need it..
Thanks to y'all in advance!
