I recently bought a few parts for an AR10 build, coincidently, my first. I have a decent knowledge of firearms, but not of building and assembling.
I bought a Stag 10 complete lower and stripped upper, links below. It is important to note that these are left handed.
I'm currently ordering a barrel for this build from X-Caliber Barrels. My selection so far is a 20" barrel, 1:10 with a rifle length gas system. The one thing i'm currently stumped on is Gas Block Journal Length. The options are 1" long gas block journal and 1.92" gas block journal. I'm not sure which of these makes the most sense. There is also a selection for "Adjustable Gas Block Use Intended" which makes the gas port slightly larger, per their website.
Which GBJ is the best size and why? Any wisdom and guidance would be much appreciated.
ALSO, since I know that wisdom abounds in this forum, ANY pointers, tips, suggestions, etc are welcomed and much appreciated. Anything that you think can help me or point me in the right direction for this build. I believe that learning from mistakes is a great catalyst for growth, but i'd like to learn from others who've made mistakes and can help me avoid the potholes.
Thanks a bunch! Can't wait to build this thing!
