Hello all, 1st post here ,
Im building my first ar15 in a few months (Pinning an upper to a lower ) and i had a few questions that i couldnt find on this forum or anywhere else online...
1) What is the general accuracy difference between a 16" midlength HBAR [RRA] and a 16" M4 Barrel [Stag], assuming that both have the same optics? I believe both are made by Wilson, but have exactly zero proof for it. Both are chrome-lined.
2) What is the felt or noticable weight difference between these two barrels? Or is there any?
3) Is there really any accuracy gain in an RRA Heavy profile M4 over the standard Government light profile?
4) Is there any advantage in Stainless steel barrels over chrome-lining?
5) What is the expected accuracy gain when freefloating a barrel with a railed forearm (Midwest Industries, for example) from the standard handguards? Or is there really any?
6) Are there any dis-advantages to freefloating a barrel? Does it make the rifle more fragile?
7) Is going from an RRA standard trigger to 2-stage NM generally considered worth the $80.00? If so is it because of an accuracy difference or just a finer feeling trigger?
8) Is the gun mechanically more accurate with a 20" barrel rather than a 16"? That said, i'm not worried about ~.02" I mean a half MOA difference.
9) Is there any reason Krylon plastic fusion spraypaint wont work on ar furniture? At least that way the colors match.
Thank you all in advance for your help! I had a lot more questions than i thought.
