Advice for AR Novice

[26 Inf]

I know some guys that still shoot irons (youthful eyes and they want to be a bit different). If you can see them...shoot'um.

Have you thought about building an upper with your chosen barrel and gas system length?

Tacking on here as an example:

BCM Blem/Demo Upper: 60.00 https://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-...-m4%20demo.htm

Barrel .223 Wylde 18" 1:8 SS Black Passivated: 199.00 http://www.gmriflebarrel.com/gm-m52-...ivated-barrel/ 75++

A2 Front Sight: 40.00 https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/prod...15835012773.do

Front Sight Pinning: 75.00 https://www.rainierarms.com/pin-a2-front-sight/ 20+

Gas Tube: 20.00 basically anywhere

Delta Spring and Handguard Cap and FSB Taper Pins: 19.00 https://www.bravocompanyusa.com/ar15...arrel-s/90.htm

Handguards: 40.00 https://www.magpul.com/products/moe-...length-ar15-m4

Handguards: 140.00 https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com...-19m-black.htm

Charging Handle: 90.00 https://geissele.com/airborne-charging-handle.html

BCG: 90.00 http://www.wcarmory.com/toolcraft-in...i-complete.htm

633.00 + 95.00 shipping (15%) = 727.95; without BCG & Charging Handle = 520.95

733.00 + 110.00 shipping (15%) = 843.00 without BCG & Charging Handle = 636.00

People have said they are happy with their Faxon Gunner Barrels:

Faxon Gunner w/A2 sight - https://www.tntesales.com/faxon-18-g...2-front-sight/ 255.00 If you knock off 333.00 for the barrel, pinning, FSB, etc. you have a surplus of 78.00 to subtract from either of the upper prices above.

I have two of the Green Mountain Barrels, I don't have a Gunner.

That is certainly what the website linked indicates - they also list a 16" GUNNER mid-length and an 18" SOCOM rifle length. 3 weeks for delivery noted.

Im thinking a real nice optic may be the best option. There are great 1-4 and 1-6 and 1-8's that could make your life so much better. Your gun is good. Good luck.
