Another thread got me to thinking about this, so I figured I'd share...
I decided that I absolutely had to have an AR, about the same time everybody else in the US did - so that meant piecing the thing together from whatever parts I could find...
The build is:
- Bushmaster chrome-lined 16" 1:8 twist M4 profile barrel and standard two-piece hand guards
- AFM upper receiver, bolt/carrier
- Stag lower receiver
- RRA lower parts kit with two-stage trigger
- Magpul CTR stock
- Streamlight TLR-1 attached via lower picatinny rail.
- LaRue tactical SPR mount
- Leupold VX-I 3x9x40 scope
Everybody kept telling me that I should be happy with 2-3" groups from this kind of build, and that I'd need a different barrel, free-float hand guards, etc to get down into the 1" range. Well, found that feeding it the right kind of ammo (cheap BVAC 52gr soft point) leads to dime sized groups - who says frankenbuild rifles don't shoot well
