Ok guys so in a recent thread I started I mentioned I bought a PSA rifle kit you know buy the kit stripped lower put it together and away you go with a working rifle. The kit I bought is
PSA 16" M4 Melonite 5.56 NATO 1:7 MOE Freedom Rifle Kit -
Barrel Length: 16"
Gas System: Carbine
Barrel Profile: M4
Barrel Steel: Chrome Moly
Barrel Finish: Melonite
Chrome Lining: none
Muzzle Thread: 1/2-28
Chamber: 5.56 NATO
Twist Rate: 1 in 7"
Barrel Extension: M4
Diameter at Gas Block: .750"
Gas Block Type: F-marked Front Sight Base
Muzzle Device: A2 Flash Hider
Receiver Material: Forged 7075 T6
Receiver Type: M4
Hand guard Type: Magpul MOE Black Handgaurds
Bolt Carrier Group Included: Yes
Bolt Steel: Carpenter 158
Bolt Carrier Profile: Full-auto
Charging Handle included: Yes
Overall Length: 24.5"
This is what I know I bought can I put it together sure no problem but, here is the rub I will likely only have this one AR-15
So what I would like to do is to talk about each and every individual piece. I want to talk about what parts you would put into it being that it is the only one you will ever have I want this to be better than Mil - spec I want a gun I count on trust my life on. A gun that goes bang every time that's as reliable as I can make it. So I ask you guys where would you start please list what you would replace with the new stuff what brands parts numbers would be nice and the biggest part for me why have you chosen this over that?
For now I think that for a 1 ar guy it needs a light sling decent trigger good mags and for this in thinking a red dot
Thanks for your thoughts guys
