Hey all,
Been a while since I posted, but I've recently got a hell of a pay raise (MIDN -> O1)so I've got a little bit of income I can blow on my toys.
I've got a Stag AR-15 that I purchased for a range toy a while back. It's got a flat top with a 16" barrel. Today I just got back from the range shooting a buddy's Bushmaster that had a 14.5" barrel, and I liked it MUCH more than my Stag.
That being said, I'd also like to take this opportunity to get some more quality components on my rifle since it now doubles for HD purposes. I'm looking at Bravo Company USA, and Palmetto State Armory. After I build this, I'm going to go about converting my 16" to a longer range carbine with a magnified optic and possibly a bipod.
Questions are;
1.) Are BCG's interchangeable between uppers, or do they wear specific to each upper? My stag has been 100% for 3500 rounds, and I restaked the carrier key, so I don't see a reason to buy another BCG unless they aren't interchangeable.
2.) I don't see a huge difference between Palmetto and BCM besides price. Both include premium features not found on my stag such as 1/7 twist, 4150 steel, M4 feed ramps. Any input here?
3.) Does Stag use a heavy barrel profile? It looks to me like an M4 profile, but it's heavier than almost every other rifle I've used. They advertise it as a "Delta Profile"? It doesn't look like the SOCOM barrels in other threads though.
4.) Critique this build for me please;
a. BCM or PSA 14.5" pinned barrel (either A2X or PSA's pinned FH)
b. DD Omega Rail or Midwest Industries Drop In
c. Fixed FSB
d. Troy BUIS
e. Aimpoint PRO
Thanks for your input guys! Really appreciate having such a knowledge base to bounce ideas off of.
