I’m wanting to build an AR that is as accurate as I can make it. 18” 223 wylde rifle length heavish profile barrel chambered by Craddock/Keystone/CLE on a Bartlein/Kreiger/Douglas blank (any thoughts on that would also be appreciated), geiselle or larue trigger, etc etc and will wear a suppressor 99.9% of the time.
Originally I was looking at an Aero M4E1 receiver set as I figured the barrel nut being machined into the upper would make for a more rigid assembly as well as prevent handguard deflection from affecting the barrel. I’m just not completely sold on Aero as a part supplier for this type of build.
I’ve seen the Seekins IRMT uppers which are the same concept as the Aero; not in love with the handguard options but I’d deal with it if they are truly the best option. Also considering the Vltor MUR combined with a stout rail like a Geiselle. BCM’s new mk2 upper also caught my eye, relatively untested at this point but I like my other BCM gear.
What can the experts here tell me about the M4E1 set compared to the others listed above? Any other receivers I should be looking at?
Thanks!
