I want more accuracy than I am getting with my contour 16" with m203 cutouts. Looking to get just under 1MOA if possible. I'd like to go 20", but if I can get good results with a shorter barrel, I wouldn't mind staying 16" or going 18". Is anything larger than 16" even an option without changing anything else on the upper (ie. buffer assembly)?
I want to use my current upper and BCG if possible. I want a heavy barrel with a gas block. Can I use my old upper and BCG with a new barrel?
So far I believe I will need a take down wrench and a punch set. A new barrel, free float hand guards, gas block and gas tube (length dependent on the barrel length?).
Sorry for all the questions, I searched and couldn't come up with much. The search on this site never works well for me...
Thanks!
